Project Overview: Efficient Foundation for a New Build in Weybridge, Surrey
For a new build house plot in Weybridge, Surrey, our client required a robust and reliably delivered foundation solution to kickstart their project. Leveraging our expertise as piling contractors and specialists in ground engineering, we opted for a comprehensive system involving the installation of 37 Sectional Flight Auger (SFA) piles. These bored piles were perfectly complemented by 115.5 linear meters (LM) of reinforced concrete ground beams, creating a resilient and integrated new build foundation.
This meticulously planned approach ensured that despite the complexities often associated with residential foundation projects, the entire scope of works was completed efficiently and, critically, on time. This project in Weybridge showcases our commitment to timely delivery and highlights why selecting an experienced foundation contractor is essential for the smooth progression of any new build.

Construction Process | Comprehensive site preparation and accurate foundation set-out. Bored pile drilling was executed using the advanced SFA method, maintaining our commitment to quiet and efficient operations.

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.

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.

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
