When you need it
Clay soils, nearby trees, sloping sites and older buildings with shallow foundations all need careful foundation design. Getting it right avoids future movement and expensive remedial work.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need a soil investigation?
Not always. We review geological records and site conditions and advise whether trial pits or a soil investigation are worthwhile.
Can you underpin an old building?
Yes. On our Bedfordshire barn conversion the existing slab had little or no foundation, so we used underpinning where required.
Do you design retaining walls?
Yes, for sloping gardens, extensions and basements, as on our Hitchin and Gomshall projects.
Areas we cover: Epsom, Leatherhead, Guildford, Woking, Reigate, Esher, Kingston upon Thames, Richmond, Wimbledon, Sutton, Croydon, Hitchin, St Albans, and across Surrey, South-West London and Hertfordshire.
