Frequently Asked Questions

What type of foundation does my project need?
This depends on the soil conditions, the size of the structure, and site constraints. We assess each project individually and recommend the appropriate solution.
How deep do foundations typically need to be?
In most UK conditions, strip foundations need to be at least 1 metre deep. Piled or raft foundations may be needed in challenging ground conditions.
Can you work on existing buildings with foundation issues?
Yes. We carry out underpinning and foundation repair work for existing structures where subsidence or movement has occurred.
Do you work in all weather conditions?
Concrete placement is weather-dependent. We plan works carefully and use suitable protection methods to ensure quality in all seasons.
How long does foundation work take?
A typical residential foundation takes 1–2 weeks depending on size and ground conditions. We provide a programme at the quote stage.
