Kent’s ground composition shifts dramatically across short distances—North Kent chalk formations prone to voids, Weald heavy clay with seasonal movement, and coastal zones managing erosion and elevated water tables. Our screw pile contractors install to the depth required by actual ground conditions, with real-time load testing confirming capacity during installation. When chalk voids or unstable clay layers appear, we extend pile depth immediately—flexibility impossible with pre-poured concrete.

Conservation areas, listed building consent requirements, and Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty create additional planning complexity. Screw pile installation addresses these restrictions through minimal excavation, reduced vehicle movements, and reversible methodology. Projects complete in 2-3 days rather than weeks, reducing construction footprint and neighbour disruption – factors that planning committees value when assessing foundation proposals.
