Footings & foundations

Trench-fill and strip foundations dug, poured and brought up out of the ground, set out to your drawings and levels. Get the footings right and everything that follows lands square, so we take care to dig to a sound bearing and pour level, ready for the substructure brickwork to start clean.

What's included

Footings & Foundations, done properly

Trench-Fill & Strip

Trench-fill and traditional strip foundations dug to depth and poured level, sized to the loads and the ground, ready to build off straight away.

Dig & Set Out

Foundations dug out and set out from your drawings, lines and levels off a datum so the footprint is right before any concrete goes in.

Out of the Ground

Footings brought up out of the ground in brick and block to damp course, so the plot is handed over level and ready for the floor and walls.

Building Control Stages

Dug to the depth and bearing building control expect, with the foundation stage there to inspect and sign off before we pour.

Frequently asked

Common questions

How deep do the footings need to be?

It depends on the ground and the loads, and on anything like trees or drains nearby. We dig to a sound bearing and to the depth building control expect for the job, and we are happy for the foundation stage to be inspected before we pour.

Do you dig and pour, or just build off footings?

We can do both. We dig out and pour the foundations and then bring the substructure up out of the ground, or we build off footings another trade has put in. Either way we set out from the drawings.

Trench-fill or strip foundations?

Both have their place. Trench-fill is quicker to get out of the ground and common on development work; traditional strip suits other jobs. We will pour whatever the design and the engineer call for.

Can you handle muck-away from the dig?

Yes. We can dig out and clear the spoil so the plot is left clean and ready, and we plan access and skips or grab lorries to suit a tight site.

Will the foundations be set out accurately?

Yes. Setting out is where a job is won or lost, so we pull the footprint off a fixed datum and the drawings and check it before we dig, so the foundations land square and to the right levels.
