Piling for Extensions in Taunton SW — Foundations for Your Extension

Piling for extensions is needed where the ground requires a deep foundation, where access is restricted, and where the extension loads demand a piled solution. It suits rear extensions, side returns, and commercial extensions.

Typical extension piling projects include rear extensions on terraced properties, side returns, two-storey extensions, and commercial extensions.

Piling for extensions installs pile foundations for home and commercial extensions. The pile type, diameter and depth are specified for the ground and the loads, and on restricted access sites we use compact rigs to reach positions standard rigs cannot. Because we design and build in-house, the pile specification is matched to the actual ground and the connection to the existing structure, not a generic assumption.

We assess the ground, the loads and the access, then design the pile specification. Our rig installs the piles — compact rigs on restricted access sites — and we construct the ground beams. We coordinate with building control throughout.

Extension piling cost depends on the pile type, the diameter, the depth, the number of piles, and the access. Restricted access may require compact rigs, which affects cost. We provide a fixed quote within 48 hours of the site visit.

Often, yes. We use compact, restricted access rigs to reach positions standard rigs cannot, including rear extensions with no vehicle access. If you have been told piling is not possible on your extension, describe the constraints to us before writing it off.
