We are design-and-build foundation specialists delivering value-engineered piled raft foundation solutions and concrete raft foundations for new build residential, educational, healthcare and commercial developments across England, with a particular focus on the South East, South West, West Midlands, London and East Midlands, as well as projects in Wales. Our patented systems provide complete foundation solutions – from initial design and ground engineering through to installation – giving contractors and developers cost and programme certainty on even the most challenging sites.

We offer:

Foundations – Residential: Housedeck piled raft and raft slab foundations for single bespoke homes and multi-plot housing developments.
Foundations – Commercial: Comdeck piled raft and ground bearing concrete slabs for schools, care homes, hospitals, flats and other commercial buildings.
Foundations – near trees: Treesafe foundations and heave-protected slabs for construction in Tree Preservation Order (TPO) and root protection zones.
Foundations – flood risk sites: Floodsafe piled raft foundations for building where the water table is high or flooding is a concern.

Where our foundations add value:

Our systems are designed to overcome common ground challenges, including high groundwater table, ground heave, foundations in clay soil, made-up ground, chalk and peat. By integrating the pile foundation and raft foundation into a single engineered solution, we provide an efficient alternative to traditional strip foundations, deep trench and pile and beam foundations.

Benefits of Abbey Pynford foundations:

Cost and programme certainty – foundations installed up to 70% faster than traditional strip and trench foundations.
Safer site environment – reduced excavation, less spoil and simplified groundworks in construction.
Lower environmental impact – reduced concrete and cart-away, fewer vehicle movements and more sustainable concrete foundations.
Single engineered package – one specialist team providing design, materials, labour and installation.
Proven performance on brownfield plots, sites with trees, soft clay, high water table and heave-prone soils.

Our foundations are suitable for all types of construction, ranging from traditional brick and block to modern construction techniques such as timber frame, sealed panels, or modular. The system works extremely well coupled with off-site construction techniques, as it delivers a finished slab with reduced tolerances on levels and dimensions versus traditional methods, and a slab completion rate of around 250m2 per week, complementing the faster construction programmes.

We can be built on bored, driven, helical or displacement piles, vibro stone columns and other forms of improved ground. We offer either a ground bearing slab or a suspended clear voided system to cater for heave risk or potential ground gases.On many house foundations, especially on clay or high water table sites, our piled raft foundations and concrete raft foundations provide a robust, economical alternative to conventional strip footing and trench solutions, helping to control long-term movement and heave.

Designs are produced by our in-house foundation engineers using advanced finite element analysis to ensure each project is fully value-engineered. We coordinate closely with your structural engineer, ground investigation contractor and groundworks teams to deliver integrated groundworks foundation packages.

At Abbey Pynford, we also provide exemplary Health and Safety procedures, as our systems reduce risk on site, is BBA approved come with warranty provider approval: NHBC, Premier Guarantee and LABC.

Our approach to foundations is also more environmentally friendly than traditional methods, reducing emissions and spoil.
