Building a basement in London can often be a tricky project. Existing structures vary in ages from modern-builds to building hundreds of years old. Combine this with other factors, such as the close proximity of neighbouring structures, the un-uniformed layout of streets, and the re-purposing of soil that has often been built upon dozens of times – and you can see how challenges can become complex.

Not to mention, the soil we work in frequently contains artefacts of historical relevance that need to be carefully excavated.

To combat these challenges, one of our go-to new build basement construction techniques is the use of poured concrete foundation walls. This offers stability against the over-used soil and ensures longevity. We use the same approach when taking on a concrete cellar construction project.
