When you’re building in SW1, the groundwork matters as much as the finish. Our Footings & Foundations service in Victoria covers excavation, reinforcement and concrete placement for walls, piers and structural landscaping. We regularly work around Victoria Station and Victoria Street where access and timing can be tight. Every footing is set out accurately and built to the required depths and widths for safety and durability.
Victoria includes a mix of mansion blocks, Georgian townhouses and modern apartments across Westminster, Pimlico and Belgravia. These property types often bring constraints such as shared boundaries, restricted side access and sensitive structures. We design wall footings, strip footings and pier footings that suit the loads and the existing fabric of the building. Where needed, we liaise with engineers to ensure the foundation design is appropriate for the site conditions.
We start with a site visit, measurements and a clear scope of works, then plan excavation and spoil removal to minimise disruption. Reinforcement is installed to specification before concrete is poured, finished and cured correctly. We work to Building Regulations and provide documentation support for inspections where required. Homeowners choose us for neat workmanship, dependable scheduling and a 10-year warranty on qualifying foundation works.
Working in the footings & foundations Victoria area often means managing narrow access, controlled parking and busy delivery routes near Westminster Cathedral and Victoria Station. We plan deliveries, concrete pours and waste removal to suit local restrictions and neighbours. Mansion blocks and townhouses can have shallow existing structures, so we take extra care around party walls and adjacent services. Our approach adapts to the realities of building in the City of Westminster without compromising on standards.

Costs in SW1 vary with depth, access, spoil removal and whether an engineer’s design is required. As a guide, small wall footings for garden structures often start around £1,200–£3,000. Strip footings for an extension or substantial wall commonly fall in the £4,000–£12,000 range. Complex sites in the City of Westminster, restricted access, or deeper excavations can increase costs. We provide a detailed, itemised quote after a survey.
Most projects take 2–7 working days from excavation to pour, depending on size and access. A small pier footing job may be completed in a day or two, while strip footings for an extension typically take longer. Timescales are affected by ground conditions, the amount of spoil to remove, reinforcement requirements and inspection scheduling. Concrete curing time is also important before loading the new structure.
Footings themselves usually form part of a wider project, and many garden walls or minor works can be permitted development. However, extensions, basement works, conservation considerations and party wall matters can change what’s required in the City of Westminster. Building Regulations approval is commonly needed for structural foundations. We’ll advise on the likely route, check constraints for your property, and coordinate with Building Control and any appointed engineer as needed.
We provide a 10-year warranty on qualifying Footings & Foundations work, covering workmanship and installation issues that could affect structural stability when used as designed. This includes correct excavation, reinforcement placement and concrete installation to the agreed specification. It doesn’t cover damage caused by later alterations, extreme events, or issues outside our scope such as unknown underground services. You’ll receive clear paperwork outlining what’s included.
We install wall footings, strip footings and pier footings, typically in reinforced concrete with rebar to suit load requirements. Design options include varying widths/depths, stepped foundations for level changes, and reinforced ground beams where specified by an engineer. We can also incorporate service ducts and sleeves to keep future runs tidy. After assessing your site in Victoria, we’ll recommend the most suitable option for performance, compliance and budget.
