Overview

Basement Excavation: designed, engineered and built in-house

We are basement excavation contractors for new basements and lowered floors. Basement work depends on good temporary works and sequencing, so our engineers design the propping, underpinning and retaining walls before excavation starts.

We cover 9 councils across South West London and Surrey, and every project is run by one team from survey to sign-off. This service is part of our groundworks work, and it is often combined with foundations.

Basement Excavation costs and timescales
