How We Help Homeowners
We offer a range of services designed specifically for residential projects:
> Home Extensions
Planning to add more space to your home? Many extensions need reinforced foundations, especially if you’re building on clay, sloping ground, or near existing structures. Our mini piling solutions are perfect for supporting everything from a single-storey addition to a multi-floor extension, even in compact spaces.
> New Builds
Building your dream home? The right foundation is the first step to making it a reality. We’ll assess your site, recommend the best piling method for your ground conditions, and ensure your home has the strength to stand the test of time. Whether it’s a detached house, a bungalow, or a bespoke design, our equipment ensures precision and efficiency.
> Solving Ground Issues
If your home is showing signs of foundation problems—like cracks in the walls or uneven floors—we’re here to help. Our team can assess the issue and provide a piling solution to stabilise your property and prevent further damage.
Examples include stabilising homes on sloping plots, addressing subsidence, or securing foundations in clay-heavy areas.
Why Foundations Matter
The foundation of your home isn’t just a technical detail; it’s what keeps your property safe and secure for years to come. Poor ground conditions or insufficient support can lead to structural problems, from cracks in walls to sinking floors.
Piling is one of the most effective ways to ensure your home has the stability it needs, even on challenging ground. By transferring the weight of your property to deeper, more solid layers of soil, piling creates a foundation you can rely on.
Simply contact us with a prepared structural engineer drawing and our team will take care of the rest. We design the piles and provide a reasonable price for you to suit your needs. Once everything has been confirmed and arranged, we then take a deposit. Our professionals confirm the pile design before efficiently installing it for you and doing all of the hard work so that you don’t have to lift a finger.

Q: What is piling and how can Bailey Piling assist with my construction needs?Piling is a crucial foundation technique used in construction to support heavy structures, such as a home extension or garden building, ensuring stability and strength. It involves driving or drilling piles—long, column-like elements—deep into the ground to reach a solid soil layer or bedrock. This process is essential in situations where the surface soil is too weak to support the weight of a building or structure. Bailey Piling specialises in providing high-quality piling services tailored to meet the specific needs of your home construction project. Our 40 years expertise in the piling industry means we've seen it all and can quickly determine the most effective piling solution for every residential project, ensuring your foundations are rock-solid and reliable.

Q: What is under-pinning, and how does Bailey Piling handle this process?Under-pinning is a construction technique used to strengthen and stabilise the foundations of an existing building. It is often necessary when the original foundation is not strong or stable enough to support the building, when the usage of the building has changed, or when the soil conditions supporting the foundation have altered over time. Bailey Piling uses a variety of under-pinning methods, including traditional mass concrete under-pinning, beam and base under-pinning, and mini-piled under-pinning, depending on the specific needs of the project. Our team conducts a thorough assessment to determine the most suitable technique, ensuring that all work is performed safely and to the highest standards. By employing advanced engineering solutions and modern equipment, Bailey Piling guarantees the structural integrity and longevity of your building.
