Ground Screws for Garden Rooms

A garden room is one of the best ways to add liveable space to your property – and ground screws are the fastest, cleanest way to lay the foundations. No concrete, no excavation, and no damage to your garden. We offer DIY supply, trade supply, and professional installation, so whatever your project needs, we've got it covered.

The benefits of ground screws for garden rooms

  • Quick & Simple

    Ground screws are easy to install in a matter of minutes, enabling you to get your project out of the ground straight away without any waiting, any time of the year.

  • Less mess, less cost

    A quick and clean alternative to messy concrete – no digging, no waste, no costly skips. Save money on the total cost of installing foundations.

  • Designed to last

    Our ground screws are fully galvanised to protect against rusting. For added peace of mind, they are CE-approved with a 20-year product guarantee and BS EN 1461:2009 compliant.

  • Immediately load bearable

    Suitable for a wide range of structures, our ground screws are immediately load-bearing – so as soon as they are installed, you can start building.

  • Environmentally friendly

    Reduced CO2 compared to pouring concrete. Helps protect habitats and prevent damage to tree root systems.

  • No Heavy Equipment

    No large plant machinery is required to install our ground screw range, making this a quick and easy process without causing lasting damage to your garden.

  • Lightweight & Compact

    Using ground screws eliminates access issues – our ground screws, bracket systems, and tools can all be carried by hand.

  • Reduced Disruption

    A ground screw system minimises disruption to your property, involving less noise, debris, and disturbance compared to traditional foundation construction.

We Fit – You Fit

Screw Foundations UK offers a range of self-installation options for both the DIY enthusiast and trade customers and installers. Our ground screw calculator will help you work out how many ground screws you need for your project.

If you are pushed for time or don’t want to take on the foundation work yourself, we can take the load off with our nationwide installation service. If your project is subject to building regulations and requires building control approval, we offer a commercial installation service that includes compression load testing and a detailed report.

The versatile solution

Building on gradients? Ground screws for garden rooms make easy work of building on a slope or other difficult plots. The ground screws can be carried to the site by hand, eliminating access issues. You don’t need to destroy natural habitat or cut down trees. And you won’t risk affecting waterways. Overall, ground screws are the versatile choice for a wide range of projects, including those more difficult installations.

For garden room companies and trade installers

If you’re a garden room company installing foundations regularly, we supply trade volumes with next-working-day delivery from one of the UK’s largest stocks. We also offer dedicated technical support to help you specify the right product for each job.

For builds that require building control sign-off – such as SIPs panel construction or larger annexe-style garden rooms – we offer helical screw pile foundations with:

  • Machine installation using excavators with calibrated torque monitoring
  • Comprehensive torque pile logs recording installation torque, depth, and performance data for every pile
  • Certified load capacity reports through deep foundation software
  • Stock sizes from 76R to 140R, plus bespoke manufacturing

This gives your customers the engineering documentation they need and speeds up the approval process – without you having to coordinate a separate piling contractor.
