Foundation Installation in Cobham, Horley and all Locations in Surrey and Sussex

Foundation installation is a part of the construction process where a base is built to support the load of a building or structure, and to distribute its weight while anchoring it to the ground. To build foundations, a contractor must excavate in bulk, prepare the surface and construct a base, often in concrete with steel reinforcement.

For the installation of driveways and hard surfaces, the foundation is referred to as a sub-base but still plays a similar role.

We can lay foundations and bases in the following styles:

Pile Foundations

This is a deep foundation that transfers structural weight into the deeper soil or rock layers when the upper layer of soil is found to be weak or unstable. These foundations consist of long columns that are drilled, or driven into place, to provide better stability.

This type of foundation installation also stops settlement.


Raft Foundations

Also referred to as a mat foundation, a raft foundation is a large slab made from reinforced concrete that supports the full weight of a build, causing it to “float” on the ground. This foundation can distribute weight over a larger area and in weaker soil conditions.

Steel bars can be used to add reinforcement to the concrete base.


Strip Foundations

Typically, a strip foundation installation is poured into a trench to support the weight of low-to-medium rise builds, including home extensions. This foundation type is cost-effective and simple for our contractors to install, particularly so in more stable ground.

This is a shallower foundation laid as a continuous strip.

RC Concrete Bases

Used on projects in Cobham, Epsom, Horley and Horsham, and in the Surrey and Sussex areas, as a concrete base reinforced with steel bars to enhance the strength of the foundation. In addition to a building, RC concrete bases also support machinery installations.

This foundation also resists stress, like shear and tension forces.

If you need a dependable team of contractors to support your project with a foundation installation service, Rise Construction would like to hear from you. We offer the complete groundworks service and lay foundations and footings up to the damp proof course (DPC). Our role is to establish topographical conditions, and to determine the best type of foundation based on soil types and the expected weight load.

The stability of a build is highly dependent on your personal choice of contractor and the skillsets that they bring to a project.
