Screw Piling For London's Tight Sites And Clay Soils

London is where we do much of our work: rear extensions on terraced streets, garden studios and offices, and commercial sites where noise, vibration and spoil all have to be kept to a minimum.

Much of London is built on London Clay, which shrinks and swells as it dries and wets, and is a well-known cause of subsidence, particularly near trees. Screw piles take your foundation below the ground that moves, without deep trenches or heavy rigs.

Our compact equipment fits through side passages and narrow gates, so there is often no need to bring machinery through the house. With no vibration and no spoil, piles can go in right beside a party wall, which keeps things simple with the neighbours.

We also cover:

  • Hampstead
  • Camden
  • Islington
  • Hackney
  • Barnet
  • Enfield
  • Harrow
  • Ealing
  • Richmond
  • Kingston
  • Wandsworth
  • Lambeth
  • Southwark
  • Greenwich
  • Bromley
  • Croydon

Do you cover all of London?

Yes. We work across Greater London, from Hampstead, Barnet and Enfield in the north to Richmond, Kingston, Bromley and Croydon in the south, and on into Surrey, Kent and Essex.

Can screw piles go next to a party wall?

Yes. Installation produces no vibration and no excavation, so piles can be placed close to a party wall or a neighbouring building. You may still need a party wall agreement for your project, and we are happy to provide information for your surveyor.

How do you get the equipment into a terraced back garden?

Our torque heads are mounted on mini diggers from 1.5 to 5 tonnes, which fit through most side passages and gates. Where there is no side access, modular and hand-held equipment can be used instead.
