WHY SCREW PILING

Immediate Loading. No Concrete Required.

Need Foundations Fast? Or Potentially Temporary?

Concrete piles need days to cure before you can build on them. Screw piles don't use concrete at all - they're steel shafts with helical blades that twist into the ground. Once installed, you can load them immediately.

And here's what makes them unique: if your plans change, or the structure is temporary, screw piles can be extracted and reused on another project. No waste, no permanent ground disturbance.

We put in new foundations for new building work. We don't do underpinning or repairs to existing buildings.

"What can I say, the team were a pleasure to deal with from start to finish. My wife and I did a fair amount of due diligence... Our experience was that they seemed to go the extra mile. A shout out to Barrie the project manager but of course not forgetting Lenny and Baz who worked tirelessly throughout. And a special thank you to Ben Crabb - right from our first conversation, you proposed options and were so helpful and informative."

"A really nice family business that we couldn't recommend more highly. We had a 14m x 11m foundation concrete slab with mini piles completed within their estimation of 4 weeks... The building inspector said he wished all his clients were up to their standards! From my many phone calls with Ben from the outset through to Ricky, Barrie and Shane (3 brothers) they are all so friendly and helpful."

Ricky the project manager explained what was happening throughout the procedure with phone calls and I must mention Rachel for any issues we had. Overall very good job done."
