Core coverage
Commercial groundworks and civils packages across London and the South East.
All areas we coverStrip and trench-fill footings, mass-fill and reinforced pads, pile caps and ground beams — set out and poured to the engineer’s drawing.
Foundations are unforgiving. Once concrete is in, a setting-out error or a formation that was not right costs a great deal more to put back than it did to check. So we check: lines, levels, reinforcement cover and formation condition, before anything is poured.
We work to the engineer’s drawings and keep the records to prove it — pour sheets, cube results and inspection sign-offs handed over with the works.
Lines and levels established and independently checked before steel or concrete goes in.
Pour sheets, cube results and inspection sign-offs given to you with the works.
Our own steel fixers, so reinforcement is not waiting on another subcontractor.
Scope is taken from your drawings — this is what it usually contains.
Traditional footings excavated, poured and backfilled.
Pad foundations to the engineer’s sizes and reinforcement details.
Caps formed, reinforced and poured over installed piles.
Beams cast between caps and walls, with all steel fixed on site.
Reinforced rafts for poor ground or shallow bearing conditions.
Foundation deepening and support to existing structures.
The same sequence every time, so you know what happens next and who owns it.
We price from the engineer’s drawings, then set out lines and levels and have them checked before excavation.
Footings and caps dug to the right depth, with the formation inspected before anything is placed.
Reinforcement fixed to the drawing with correct cover, formwork set and checked for line and level.
Concrete placed, compacted and cured, with pour records and cube samples taken.
Inspection sign-off, backfill where required, and the level handed to the next trade.

01895 725125Piling is usually a specialist package and we work alongside the piling contractor rather than replacing them. We take over at the caps: forming, reinforcing and pouring over the installed piles, and casting the beams between them.
We set out to the engineer’s drawings and check it before excavation, and again before the pour. On most packages the engineer or main contractor also inspects, and we build that into the sequence rather than working around it.
Pour sheets, delivery tickets, cube results and inspection sign-offs, handed over with the works so your as-built file is complete without chasing us for it.
Yes, with the usual precautions: formation protection, concrete mix adjusted for temperature, and curing protection. We will tell you honestly if weather is going to move a pour rather than pour and hope.
Yes. Underpinning is sequenced and temporary works planned so the existing structure stays supported throughout, which is slower and more careful work than new-build footings.
