Footings Experts
At PMC, we understand that the true strength of any building lies entirely in what sits beneath it. In London, constructing solid foundations is not just a job—it’s a specialised challenge. Between the unique characteristics of “London Clay”, which demand expert handling, the close proximity of neighbouring properties, and the intricate network of underground infrastructure, there is absolutely no room for guesswork. PMC provides the precision and expertise required to navigate these complexities, ensuring every project stands on an unshakeable base.
Our Process: Building from the Ground Up
We construct robust foundations and footings through a meticulous process: beginning with precise site excavation and preparation, we then expertly lay and pour reinforced concrete to create the footings, which are then integrated with the main foundation structure. This critical work ensures optimal load distribution and enduring stability for your entire building.
Foundation Solutions We Use
We utilise a range of techniques tailored to the load-bearing requirements of your structure and the specific ground conditions of your site.
Traditional Strip Foundations: The most common solution for low-rise residential builds. We excavate a continuous strip of ground to support load-bearing walls.
Trench Fill Foundations: A fast and efficient method where the trench is filled almost entirely with concrete, reducing the amount of brickwork required below ground level.
Piled Foundations: Essential for sites with poor soil, high water tables, or significant tree influence. We drive piles deep into the stable ground to support a reinforced concrete ring beam.
Raft Foundations: A reinforced concrete slab that covers the entire footprint of the building, “floating” on the ground to spread the load over a wider area.
Steel Reinforcement & Concrete: We handle the entire process, from cutting and bending steel reinforcement (rebar) to pouring and vibrating high-strength concrete.
