Frequently Asked Questions
How long does screw piling take to install?
Screw piling is a fast and efficient process. Most residential jobs are completed within one to two days, depending on the number of piles, site access and soil conditions. Since there’s no need for excavation or concrete curing, construction can begin immediately after installation. Larger commercial jobs may take longer, but overall, screw piling helps reduce total build time and avoids weather-related delays.
What are the signs of foundation problems?
Common signs of foundation issues include cracks in walls or ceilings, sloping floors, doors or windows that stick and gaps between walls and cornices or skirting boards. You might also notice cracks in exterior brickwork or sudden changes in floor levels. These symptoms suggest potential movement or sinking of the footings and should be assessed promptly to prevent further structural damage.
How long does underpinning take to complete?
Underpinning usually takes one to three weeks, depending on the size of the structure, the degree of movement and the method used. Smaller residential jobs can be finished faster, while more complex or damaged buildings may take longer. Access restrictions, weather conditions and engineering approvals can also affect the timeline. A site inspection will give a clearer estimate tailored to the specific property.
Is screw piling suitable for all soil types?
Screw piling is compatible with a wide range of soil types, including sand, clay, silt and even soft rock. It’s particularly effective in weak or reactive soils where traditional footings may fail. However, extremely dense or rocky ground might require different piling methods. A soil test and geotechnical report are usually completed beforehand to confirm that screw piling is the best solution for the site.
