Realise the full potential of your home with a modern home extension. Our Ground Screws, along with our skilled in-house installation team can conduct professional installations that align with design requirements, access limitations, and site specifications. This ensures a robust, concrete-free foundation method that is approved by building control, meeting all necessary legislation.
Fast and effective installation which requires no digging and concrete creates an immediate foundation for your structure.
Our quality control examined Ground Screw’s can be Load Tested and certified to ensure their reliability and suitability for the site-specific requirements
Our Ground Screws are fully galvanised to protect against rusting. For added peace of mind, they are CE approved with a 20-year product guarantee and BS EN 1461:2009 compliant
Suitable for a wide range of structures, our Ground Screws are immediately load bearing, so as soon as they are installed you can start building.
Easy to install, with less labour cost. Ground Screws can be installed in any weather or ground conditions
Reduced CO2 from pouring concrete. Helps protect habitats and prevent damage to tree root systems
Using Ground Screws eliminates any access issues - Our Ground Screws, bracket systems and tools can all be carried by hand.
A Ground Screw system minimises disruptions to your property, as it often involves less noise, debris, and disturbance compared to traditional foundation construction.
Ground Screws seamlessly integrate with SIPs, Timber Frame, Steel Frame, and Light Gauge Steel construction, providing a versatile foundation solution.
Structural Insulated Panels (SIPS)
Our precisely installed Ground Screw provide the perfect partner for the modular panel design or SIPS building. The lightweight, fast to install and simple design of SIPS panels will enable you to construct your home extension in a matter of days. Your ground screw foundations will enable you to enjoy a watertight and warm structure.
Timber Frame
Ground screws and timber frame structures are highly compatible, offering quick and stable foundations without the need for extensive excavation or concrete pouring. Their synergy provides environmental benefits, flexibility, and cost-effectiveness, making them an ideal pairing for construction projects.
Steel Frame
Steel frames are ideal for connecting to ground screws, effectively transferring loads to point loads and easy to attach to our load-bearing flanges. They facilitate open-plan living, providing support for heavy loads with minimal positions requirements.
Light Gauge Steel Frame
Steel frames are versatile, strong and durable at a competitive price, which is why they are an emerging modern method of construction for house extensions. The lightweight nature means they do not incur heavy loads on the foundations. Unlike traditional timber products, steel frames are unaffected by weather conditions such as rain and snow.
We work with engineers, surveyors, architects and contractors to meet the design load requirements specified for individual projects.
Each project will receive a compression load test to prove the load capacity on that specific site inline with your engineers loading requirements. Following the visit, our compression load testing will be supplemented with a comprehensive report which offers data insights into our findings. This report will be provided to your chosen building control officer for review and Building Control Approval. For more information, please visit our domestic installation and load testing page.
