Scope of Works & Key Details: Efficient Piling and Ground Beam Installation for Surrey Extension
Our detailed execution for this Surrey residential extension foundation project ensured precision and minimal disruption:
Element | Specification | Added Value |
|---|---|---|
Piling Works | Strategic installation of piles (methodology selected to suit site-specific ground conditions and load requirements) to provide deep, stable support for the new extension. | Delivered a deep foundation solution that effectively transfers structural loads to stable ground, crucial for the longevity and stability of the extension. Our methods ensured minimal disruption to the existing property and surrounding landscape. |
Ground Beam Installation | Fabrication and installation of reinforced concrete ground beams, expertly linking the piles to form the perimeter foundation for the extension. | Created a cohesive and strong interface between the piled foundation and the new structure, ensuring even load distribution and enhanced foundation stability. This critical step prepared the site perfectly for subsequent superstructure construction. |
Construction Process | Careful site preparation to protect the existing property, followed by the precise setting out of the foundation footprint. The piling operation was executed with efficiency, and subsequent ground beam reinforcement and concrete pouring were completed to high standards. Continuous quality control checks were maintained throughout. | Our dedicated site team ensured a smooth and well-managed foundation construction process for this residential extension. By expertly completing the piling and ground beam works, we provided a strong, reliable, and compliant foundation system, allowing the client's extension project to proceed confidently and without delay. This project underscores our ability to deliver tailored and effective ground engineering solutions for private homeowners in Surrey. |
Our customers love us
We reached out to a few companies and Direct Pilling were the most professional from the 1st engagement and throughout the whole process. I dealt with Ricky first and then Barrie both brothers that run the family business. I was kept up to date throughout the whole process. I would recommend Direct Piling to anyone that needs any of their services.
Kate & Dan Levene
We chose the Direct Piling for our extension. The sales person Ben was extremely helpful with his comments and always available to discuss matters and never missed a call back. 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.
Kevin Brown
Direct Piling have certainly exceeded expectations. Clear communication from the Estimating / Design / Project Management team at the start of the project. Site visit by their PM ahead of commencing works to ensure that we were fully aware of the Piling gangs requirements.
Ray Brinklow
Very good professional team of people from workforce to admin very pleased all round would definitely recommend this company
Kim Hart
What a breath of fresh air to deal with a company that exceeds all of your expectations. Direct Piling are that company. From my first contact with Barrie in the office to the two hardworking men, Dan and Lenny who carried out the job, I have been so impressed with their professionalism, capability and friendliness. Along the way I also met Shane, Dave and Jairo all added positively to the experience,Thank you for a job ‘very well done’.

Recently used Direct Piling for a project and was very pleased with their services, From the initial consultation through to final completion all went smoothly. As it was our first time using a piling system they helped us understand the processes and options for design, we look forward to working with you on future projects!
Sophie Walters
Direct Piling are 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 from start to finish and on quote. 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 especially as we were project managing ourselves and needed some help. Shane stood out as a very hard worker who started early every morning, talked things through daily and is a real perfectionist, particularly with his shuttering! Nothing was too much trouble and easy to speak to any of them on the phone. Very pleased with the end result and would definitely use them again.
Andy Wigmore
Direct Piling have just finished building a king post retaining wall in the back garden. Have to say very impressed with their team's work ethic. Very friendly guys, neat and tidy and very helpful. Would definitely use them again should the need arise, can't recommend them enough
