Foundations 

Digging foundations can be tricky and is best left to the professionals. It’s not as simple as hiring out a digger and digging. Each footing and set of foundations has regulations. Regulations dictate that there are specific dimensions (thicknesses and widths). These are dependent on what you plan on building and the type of ground that you are building on.

There are also varying strengths of concrete that should be used. Such as C15, C20, C35 . The actual depth of what you intend to dig depends on the local subsoil. When digging foundations and footings the location of drains, trees and other obstacles must be taken into consideration.

Once the footings have been dug to the required depths – inspections may be required from building control. The width of your footings will be listed in the regulations and the depth will be dictated by what type of subsoil we will dig out.

The footings are then turned into foundations by concreting (adding concrete) the footings. It is important to work out the correct amount of concrete that the job will require. Once the concrete has been poured and applied – it may have to be left visible for another building control inspection.

Whatever you require our foundations digging services for – we can help.
