About London Piling
London Piling And Foundation Services
London is one of the most complex places in the UK to build. From the thick London Clay beneath West and North London to Thames Gravel deposits in the East and pockets of Made Ground scattered across the city, no two sites are ever quite the same. That's what makes getting the right piling contractor so important.
At Capital Piling, we've worked across virtually every London borough. We know the ground, we know the challenges that come with building in a dense urban environment, and we know how to get the job done with minimal fuss and disruption to you and your neighbours.
Whether you're a homeowner adding an extension, a developer breaking ground on a new build, or a contractor who needs a reliable piling team on site, we're here to make the foundation side of your project straightforward. We'll assess your site, recommend the right solution, and deliver it on time.

01
Screw Piling (Helical Piling)
Screw piles (also known as helical piles) are a low-noise, low-vibration
foundation solution ideal for restricted-access sites and projects where
minimal disturbance is important. They can be installed quickly and are often
suited to sensitive areas and sites near existing structures.
02
Mini Piling
Mini piling is ideal for residential extensions, underpinning-style remedial
work and sites with restricted access. Compact rigs allow deep foundations to
be installed efficiently with minimal disruption, making this method well-
suited to tight working areas.
03
CFA Piling
Continuous Flight Auger (CFA) piling is commonly used for larger residential
and commercial projects. It offers fast installation with reduced vibration and
noise, making it suitable for urban sites and work near existing buildings.
04
SFA Open Bore Piling
Sectional Flight Auger (SFA) open bore piling is designed for difficult site
conditions, low headroom environments and restricted-access sites where
traditional methods may not be practical.
05
Steel Case Driven Piling
Steel cased driven piles provide durable, reliable support in challenging
ground conditions, including made ground. This method is often used where
ground stability and consistency are key requirements.
06
Ground Beams & RC Slabs
Ground beams and reinforced concrete (RC) slabs form an essential part of
many foundation systems, helping to distribute structural loads evenly and
provide a stable platform for construction. We design and install ground
beams and slabs to integrate seamlessly with the chosen piling solution.
07
SFA Grout Injection
SFA grout injection helps stabilise unstable soils and improve load-bearing
capacity. This method can be used where additional ground improvement is
required to support the foundation system.

Do London ground conditions affect the type of piling required?
Yes, and more so than most parts of the UK. London Clay, Thames Gravel and Made Ground can all behave very differently under load. We always carry out a site assessment first to make sure we're specifying the right solution for your exact location.
Can you work near party walls and neighbouring properties?
Absolutely. This is something we deal with every day in London. We're experienced working in terraced streets, flats and tight urban sites. We'll advise you on Party Wall Act requirements and use low-vibration methods wherever possible to keep disruption to a minimum.
Can you work near Underground infrastructure?
Yes. We have experience working in areas with Underground tunnels and deep infrastructure beneath. This requires careful planning and the right methods, both of which we're very familiar with.
Do you handle London Borough building control requirements?
Yes. We work in full compliance with local authority and building control requirements across all London boroughs and will guide you through what's needed for your specific project.
How quickly can you start a project in London?
We keep our scheduling tight so we can move quickly when you need us. Get in touch and we'll give you a realistic start date straight away - no messing around.
