Most people don't think
about their foundations until there is a problem. Perhaps
you are constructing an extension or conservatory and
the local authority has advised you that you will need
reinforced foundations. Or perhaps your property is
affected by subsidence. Whatever the problem, our 20
years' experience means we can solve it quickly, efficiently
and cost-effectively.
If necessary we can design the foundations to suit
your project and provide the calculations and drawings
you will need for Local Authority approval.
Don't worry if access to your property is restricted
or if work will have to be carried out inside the house.
We specialise in these types of project and have small
rigs to suit. We even have electrically powered rigs
than minimise noise, disruption and pollution.
If you are not already working with a building contractor
we can even, by prior arrangement, provide site facilities
such as a mobile toilet, and temporary protection for
your and your neighbour's property, including driveways.
Most new building work, including extensions and conservatories,
require planning permission and compliance with building
regulations. If you have any doubts you should contact
your local council before starting work.

New structures on unstable ground
Driven, auger or CFA piles reach suitable
loadbearing substrata, as a quicker, cheaper
and more reliable alternative to conventional
deep trench foundations. |

If the work is adjacent to a party wall or boundary,
the Party Wall Act says you must inform the owner of
any adjoining properties at least two months before
starting work. If your neighbour(s) rents the adjoining
property you will need to inform the landlord(s) as
well. |
