Cumbria Piling
Mini Piling Contractors in Cumbria
& the Lake District
We provide professional mini piling and underpinning services throughout Cumbria and the Lake District, piling for home extensions, new build houses & units, as well as for retaining walls or to underpin existing buildings. Pile sizes range from 100mm diameter upto 323mm. The smaller piles are driven with a mole which is ideal for restricted access areas such as for extensions in back gardens or piles inside of buildings, whereas the larger piles are driven with smallish rigs and are used on full houses or units. We either provide you with a structural engineers design or can work to one you already have. If you send us your plans or design by whatsapp or email, we will get back to you with a quote, or if you want a conversation beforehand, feel free to contact me by phone/message/whatsapp or email.
Whether you are the homeowner, builder or structural engineer, get in touch for a quote.
Piled foundation for home extension in Whitehaven
Here we piled for a side extension because there was a public sewer running right down the centre of this extension. The piles went less than 3 metres deep which was deeper than the sewer. The customer had the job dug out and our piling works took 3 days in total.
Piles and beam for extension near Ulverston
The beam here at Lowick Green is above ground at the road side. The builder cladded the outside of the beam and then continued building on top and you cant tell any difference. 6 piles here for a single storey extension.
Piled ring beam for home extension near Carlisle
This job was at Blencogo near Wigton and we piled here because of the high water table. The builder couldn’t dig without the trench continually filling with water and collapsing. The existing foundation was high up so undermining this was a concern too. This job took a week and the piles went about 8 metres deep.
Piled foundation & piled underpinnng
Piling works for an extension on a school at Millom. The ground was strange and was listed in a soil report as toothpaste like. It was a really slow drive but the piles only went about 6/8 metres deep.
For the underpinning, a rear of a house at Penrith was sinking. This is just one corner of the job. The area with the cages is being concreted and once that has gone off, the section with the pile sticking up will be broken through to the outside and reinforcement put here, before concreting.
