Great level of service, soup to nuts - fundamental activities (e.g. shuttering) were included and not an added extra as some other people had quoted. highly recommended!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Chris James2022-03-29Prime piling have just finished working for us- I had zero experience or knowledge of them or Piling before - They arrived on schedule & explained what was required and just got on with it. Despite finding some inevitable problems in an awkward location, Jamie and his guys swept them aside in a very professional manner. They left the site in good order every night and always consulted with us on best and cost effective option. I will definitely be using them again and we are very comfortable to leave a review and / or recommend to others.

It took us some time to find reliable company and we were not disappointed with our choice. Initially, we had a wrong evaluation by the appointed structural engineers and Jaimie managed to find a solution without delaying our project. Very professional, calm, reliable.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Alex Gibbard2021-06-04Jamie and Kieran were fantastic. Jamie kept us informed during the project and the workmanship was great. I wish I had been in contact with Jamie earlier in the process, as he’s keen to keep the costs down, especially during the design phase with the engineer. I would highly recommend getting in touch with Jamie and Samantha for your piling and job.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.David Lewis2021-03-05After an initial inspection the quotation was agreed. The engineers commenced the work on the due date on time and performed the job in a clean professional and helpful way. I was impressed by their attention to detail and their willingness to adapt if and when needed. I would have absolutely delight in recommending this company for piling work again and if you need a reference you may contact me though them.

What is Underpinning?
What is underpinning? It is the reinforcement of a building’s existing foundation. If your property has started cracking and the cracks are largely visible, then the building needs to undergo the process of mini piled underpinning.
Our underpinning services help you in making the foundations or roots of your building or house more powerful so that it stands tall and strong for the years to come.
However, it is very important to understand why they need for underpinning occurs. Is it an indication of weak piling? Or does it happen naturally with time? You must know that it is natural. The structure of the soil keeps altering all the time and does not remain the same over years, thus, it changes largely. When the structure alters a lot, due to any external changes, the need for underpinning occurs.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Piling is the process of inserting structural piles into the ground that will become the base of the building. Piles are required where soil and earth are performing poorly and are used to spread the load of a building and firm the ground. They are a cost-effective approach to combating corrosion and are proven to significantly improve the life expectancy of a structure
The size of the trench depends on the size of the ground beam to be installed. For our typical ground beams to an extension an excavation of 600mm deep and 450mm wide is sufficient. Please ring for advice.
There are a number of reasons it may be: A site investigation has highlighted that the ground is unsuitable and un-useable to a depth of more than 2 metres. Removal costs for the excavation of traditional deep trench foundations are too expensive. Foundation trenches are not stable and health and safety, therefore, becomes an issue. There is a high-water table. Where there are soils such as clay that are likely to swell or shrink excessively depending on the amount of water content.
The job of the pile is to distribute the weight of the structure evenly. They are placed into the ground using a pile driver. Holding the piles perfectly vertical, this machine hammers each structure into the ground and also acts as a crane.
For a typical house extension, the work can take around 2-3 days, depending on the depth driven and services requested. For more complex projects, contact us for a more specific time frame.
Mini piling in Essex and Colchester is a type of specialist piling that incorporates a specific arrangement and number of driven pile and screw pile varieties. It allows for the expansion or extension of a building, while also safeguarding against ground heave and subsidence. Crucially, mini piling is often a cheaper, faster option than traditional deep trench foundations.
