Extensions

Extensions / Conservatories

Optima Foundations specialise in providing cost effective piled foundation solutions on domestic extensions and conservatories.  We also install piled foundations for a number of specialist conservatory / orangery companies.. Our piling systems can also be used to locally underpin the main structure if affected by the new extension work.

Mini Piling due to tree roots

It has recently become increasingly common to use mini piles to avoid damage to tree roots.

Piles can be used in conjunction with a reinforced concrete beam/slab which reduces the depth of required excavation into the ground therefore further minimising potential damage to the tree roots.

We carry lightweight piling equipment which includes mini piling rigs that allows us to meet the requirments for the project.

How we can help

Our mini piling equipment enables us to work on house extensions in awkward areas and locations meaning we can undertake even the most difficult and complex of extension projects.  Whilst we use specialist piling equipment it can still be a cost effective solution should ground conditions be unfavorable to undertake a traditional strip footing.

Optima Foundations offer a nationwide service and would be pleased to offer a free quotation for your foundation needs.

Even if it is an informal discussion or advice you require, the team at Optima Foundations will be happy to help.

All our works are fully insured and guaranteed.

Completed Projects

If a building doesn’t have strong foundations, it cannot be built.

We could not thank Optima enough for everything they have done, this is our first self build, from the first day we contacted Andrew for a quote, Mark and the guys on site to the finished product today. Reliable, professional, informative, they have gone above and beyond. If I could give more stars I would, you won’t be disappointed in choosing these guys for your foundations.

Optima have completed countless jobs for us over the years and are happy to provide technical insight at the design stage. A full detailed design and calculations package makes the process much smoother than having to obtain calculations from an external engineer once piles have been installed. We will be sure to work with optima in future and will always recommend them to anyone whom we produce drawings for.
