Whether you’re adding a garden room, retaining wall or an extension, the groundwork has to be right first time. We deliver precise wall, pier and strip footings with careful excavation, reinforcement and concrete placement. Working around Wimbledon Village High Street and the edges of Wimbledon Common, we plan access and deliveries to keep disruption low. Our team supports projects across SW19 with a focus on safety, levels and drainage.
Wimbledon Village properties often demand a higher standard of finish and coordination, from large detached houses to Georgian homes and luxury apartments. Older plots can hide mixed ground, historic drainage runs and previous landscaping layers that affect footing depth and bearing. We’re used to working on tight side access and protecting existing paving, lawns and mature planting. If you’re near Cannizaro Park or Southfields, we’ll tailor the approach to your plot and build type.
We start with a site visit, discuss load paths and intended structures, then set out accurately before excavation begins. Where required, we coordinate engineering input, reinforcement schedules and Building Regulations inspections. You’ll get clear method statements, tidy spoil management and consistent communication from start to pour. Local homeowners choose us for dependable workmanship, transparent options and a 10-year warranty on qualifying works.
Ground conditions around Wimbledon Village can vary between made ground, clay and pockets of gravel, especially near Wimbledon Common. We adapt footing design and excavation methods to suit bearing capacity and seasonal movement, and we plan concrete deliveries around restricted parking and school-run congestion near King’s College School. For footings & foundations in London Borough of Merton, we also coordinate Building Control stages so inspections happen on time. The result is a stable base that suits premium homes and sensitive gardens.

Costs vary with depth, access, spoil removal and reinforcement requirements. As a guide, small pier footings for posts can start from £600–£1,500, while strip foundations for a small extension or garden structure often fall around £3,000–£9,000. More complex jobs with deeper excavations, restricted access, engineered steel schedules and multiple pours can reach £10,000–£25,000+. We provide a detailed, itemised quote after a site visit.
Most domestic footing works take 2–7 working days from set-out to pour, depending on size and access. A few pier footings may be completed in a day or two, while strip footings for an extension can take a week, plus curing time before building continues. Timescales are affected by excavation depth, unexpected ground conditions, drainage diversions, Building Control inspection timing and concrete delivery slots in SW19.
Footings themselves usually don’t need planning permission, but the structure they support might (for example, extensions, outbuildings or retaining walls). Even where planning isn’t required, Building Regulations commonly apply, and Building Control may need to inspect excavations before concrete is poured. We’ll advise on what’s likely to apply in the London Borough of Merton, help you prepare the right information, and coordinate inspections to keep the project moving.
Yes. We provide a 10-year warranty on qualifying footings and foundation works, covering workmanship and installation defects under normal domestic use. This includes correct set-out, reinforcement placement and concrete works completed to the agreed specification. The warranty doesn’t cover issues caused by later alterations, extreme events, or third-party structural changes outside our scope. You’ll receive documentation outlining what’s included and how to make a claim if needed.
We install wall footings, strip footings and pier footings, with options for reinforced concrete where loads or ground conditions demand it. Depending on your design, we can incorporate ground beams, thicker pours, and tailored rebar cages to match engineering notes. We’ll also advise on excavation methods, spoil handling and concrete strength classes. After assessing your site and the intended structure, we recommend the safest, most cost-effective foundation solution.
