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: Will your machines fit with limited access?

At Bailey Piling, we understand that many construction and remediation projects occur in areas with restricted access. Our fleet includes a variety of compact and versatile piling rigs specifically designed for sites with limited space, for example your garden. These machines can manoeuvre through narrow passages and operate in tight quarters without sacrificing performance or safety. Our experienced team is adept at assessing site constraints and planning efficiently to ensure successful project execution, even under challenging conditions. If you have concerns about access on your specific site, please contact us for a detailed assessment and customised solution.
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.
What types of piling do you offer for large-scale developments?

We provide a range of piling solutions, including traditional piling for stable foundations and mini piling for sites with restricted access or low headroom. Our team will assess your site and recommend the most suitable method to ensure your project’s success.
Can you handle challenging ground conditions?

Absolutely. With extensive experience across various soil types, including clay, sand, and made-up ground, we’re equipped to manage even the most complex ground conditions. We tailor our approach to your site, ensuring a stable and durable foundation every time.
Do you offer equipment hire for builders and developers?

Yes, we offer piling rig and excavator hire, complete with experienced operators. This ensures that your project benefits from professional handling and efficient operations, whether you’re preparing foundations or carrying out groundwork.
