Screw Pile Design And Installation In Cambridge
From city terraces to village extensions and new-build plots, we design and install screw pile foundations across Cambridge and South Cambridgeshire.
Much of the Cambridge area sits on clay, including Gault clay that shrinks in dry summers and swells again in wet winters, with chalk and river gravels in places. Ground like this can make shallow foundations move, especially close to trees. Screw piles carry the load down to firmer ground beneath, so your extension or garden room stays put.
Our compact equipment suits the city's tight plots and back gardens, and with no vibration we can work close to older buildings, boundary walls and homes in conservation areas.
We also cover:
- Chesterton
- Cherry Hinton
- Trumpington
- Histon & Impington
- Girton
- Great Shelford
- Sawston
- Cambourne
- Ely
- Newmarket
- Huntingdon
- St Ives

0330 043 3216Do you work in Cambridge and the surrounding villages?
Yes. We install screw piles across Cambridge and South Cambridgeshire, including Histon, Girton, the Shelfords, Sawston and Cambourne, and further out to Ely, Newmarket and Huntingdon.
Are screw piles suitable for Cambridge clay?
Very often, yes. Clay that shrinks and swells is one of the main reasons people choose piles. A screw pile reaches down to more stable ground, and in clay its grip actually improves a little over time.
Can you pile next to an older or listed building?
Screw piles go in with no vibration and no excavation, which makes them well suited to work close to older and listed buildings. We are happy to work alongside your architect on any consents your project needs.
