Professional Installation

Our in-house trained installation teams operate nationwide, delivering ground screw and helical screw pile foundations for projects of every scale – from a single garden room to a multi-site commercial development. With over 15 years of hands-on experience, we handle everything from site survey through to installation, load testing, and documentation.

Commercial and Infrastructure Installation

We have decades of experience working in the commercial market, offering highly reliable, low-impact, and efficient screw foundations for a wide range of applications. Trusted by renowned names such as McDonald’s, EG Group, Manchester United, and Portakabin, we are a leading foundation solution provider for some of the UK’s largest brands.

Our commercial installation service covers both ground screws and helical screw piles, with the product and service matched to the demands of your project:

Ground Screw Installation for Commercial Projects

Fixed-length and extendable ground screws for high load-bearing requirements
Compression load testing with a comprehensive findings report
Bespoke and adjustable sub-bases and fixing details
Structural C24 construction-grade treated timber joist bases

Helical Screw Pile Installation for Larger-Scale Projects

Site-Specific Helical Screw Pile Designs
Machine-installed using tracked machines or excavators from 1.5t to 20t
Calibrated torque monitoring on every pile – installation torque, depth, and performance data recorded throughout
Comprehensive torque pile logs for every pile installed
Certified load capacity reports generated through deep foundation software
Stock sizes from 76R to 140R, with bespoke manufacturing available
GPS mark out and GPR (ground penetration radar)
Steel fabrication, pile caps, and sub bases
Installation in strict accordance with the engineered design criteria

We assist with surveys, design, structural calculations, site-specific load testing, and the installation of ground screws and helical screw piles, as well as bespoke sub-bases. By thoroughly assessing your site conditions and project requirements, we provide the optimal foundation solution.

Domestic Installation

For homeowners, we offer a nationwide ground screw and screw pile installation service that gets your project out of the ground quickly, cleanly, and without disrupting your garden or property.

Our friendly installation team will have your screw foundation installed within hours, leaving your site looking tidy and unspoilt. With a wide range of ground screw and screw piles available, we overcome tree roots and sloping ground, and we install year-round regardless of the weather.

We have 15 years of experience installing structural timber bases and RC concrete slabs for:

Decking and raised platforms
Garden rooms and summer houses
Glamping pods and holiday lodges
Home gyms and office spaces
Annexes and extensions
Sheds and workshops

Whether it’s a ground screw-only installation or a ground screw with a structural C24 treated timber joist base, your site will remain pristine with no mess or damage. We precision-cut all timber in our warehouse to your exact dimensions, and our hand-carried equipment means no heavy machinery during your domestic installation.

The benefits of a professional ground screw or screw pile installation

Rapid Installation
Fast and effective installation which requires no digging or concrete, creating an immediate foundation for your structure.
Tested and Quantifiable
Ground screws can be compression load tested. Helical screw piles are installed with calibrated torque monitoring. Both produce certified data for building control and structural engineer approval.
Designed to Last
Our ground screws are fully galvanised to BS EN 1461:2009. Our helical screw piles are manufactured to EN 1090-1, ISO 3834, and EN ISO 1461. All products are CE-approved.
Immediately Load-Bearing
Both ground screws and helical screw piles are immediately load-bearing – so as soon as they are installed, you can start building.
Environmentally Friendly
Reduced CO2 compared to pouring concrete. No excavation, no spoil, no skips. Helps protect habitats and prevent damage to tree root systems.
Lightweight and Compact
Ground screws eliminate access issues – screws, brackets, and tools can all be carried by hand. Helical screw piles are installed using compact tracked machines suitable for restricted-access sites.
Minimal Disruption
Screw foundations produce minimal vibration and noise, generating less debris and disturbance than traditional foundation construction.

Step 1 – Consultation and Site Assessment
Our team discusses your project requirements, reviews site conditions, and advises on the right product and approach. For commercial projects, this includes working with your structural engineer on load requirements and foundation design.
Step 2 – Survey and Load Testing
For projects requiring building control approval, we conduct site surveys and load testing. Ground screw installations receive compression load testing with a detailed report. Helical screw pile installations are torque-monitored throughout, producing comprehensive pile logs.
Step 3 – Installation
Our in-house teams install your ground screws or helical screw piles to exact specifications, using the right equipment for the job – from hand-driven ratchets for domestic builds to excavator-mounted torque heads for commercial projects. Structural timber bases are precision-cut and fitted on the same visit.
Step 4 – Documentation and Handover
You receive all documentation for your project – compression load test reports for ground screws, or torque pile logs and certified load capacity data for helical screw piles. Everything your building control officer and structural engineer need, in one package.
