Strip Footing

A strip foundation is a strip that is formed under load bearing walls to serve as a level base for a wall to be built on. Usually, the strip is made from concrete as it is highly durable, easily applied and levelled. At Grinstead Construction, we can apply a strip footing to your property in order to be able to construct a wall.

Raft Foundation

Raft foundations are used to spread the load from a structure over a large area, typically the whole region of the structure. They are utilized when column loads or other structural loads are near one another and individual pad foundations would cross over.

A raft foundation ordinarily comprises a concrete slab which reaches out over the entire loaded area. It might be hardened by ribs or beams joined into the foundation.

Raft foundations have the benefit of decreasing differential settlements as the concrete opposes differential movements between loading positions. They are frequently required on delicate or loose soils with low bearing limits as they can spread the loads over a larger area.

Drainage

If you have trouble with water draining from your garden, leaving a large amount of standing water, then you will need a land drain or French drain installation. This type of drain is easily laid by creating small trenches for it to lie in and surround it with small stones to allow the water through whilst filtering out the silt.
