Professional Foundations & Footings in Kent – Laying the Groundwork for Success
A strong foundation is the backbone of any structure. Without it, buildings risk cracking, sinking, or even collapsing. At HSB Contractors, we specialise in foundations and footings in Kent, ensuring your project starts on solid, stable ground.
Getting the foundations right is critical for the durability and safety of any construction project. That’s why we take a detailed, professional approach to ensure your site is prepared, measured, and reinforced correctly.
Our foundations and footings services cover:
One of the most common foundation types for homes and extensions. We excavate precise trenches, pour high-strength concrete, and ensure proper reinforcement for long-term stability.
Strip Foundations
For sites with deep trenches or loose ground, trench fill foundations provide a strong, fast, and cost-effective alternative. We fill deep trenches with concrete up to ground level, reducing the need for additional brickwork.
If the ground conditions are uneven or weak, raft foundations distribute the weight of the building over a large concrete slab, preventing sinking and movement over time.
Raft Foundations
For projects on unstable ground or areas with high water tables, we install deep pile foundations to transfer weight to stronger soil layers, preventing settling or shifting.
Used for garages, workshops, and industrial units, we lay reinforced concrete slabs, ensuring a flat, durable surface that can handle heavy loads.
Concrete Slabs & Base Foundations
For commercial builds, multi-storey properties, or load-bearing structures, we install reinforced footings using steel rebar and high-grade concrete, adding extra durability.
The Importance of Solid Foundations in Any Construction Project
Skipping or cutting corners on foundations can lead to major structural issues down the line. Poorly built foundations can cause:
❌ Cracking walls due to ground movement.
❌ Uneven floors from weak or unstable footings.
❌ Water damage from poor drainage around foundations.
❌ Expensive repairs, sometimes requiring entire sections to be rebuilt.
By choosing HSB Contractors, you ensure a strong, stable, and regulation-compliant foundation, giving your build the best possible start.
