Ground screw and 4x2” timber frame installation for a new composite cladded workshop and storage area. This particular building also incorporated metal corrugated cladding on the rear.

These screws were installed to reduce costs and prevent damage or contamination from materials such as concrete to a stream that flows at the rear of this area. The screws are an ideal choice for securing this building, which was subsequently installed on the attached timber frame.

A project was undertaken to transform an old and dilapidated garage into a new shed. The existing garage, which was in a state of imminent collapse, was carefully dismantled to make way for the shed. This transformation also provided a small gain in garden space. To enhance the aesthetics of the area, a buff Cotswold stone was employed. Subsequently, a new fence was constructed and installed to ensure privacy and security for the garden.

This slab base was dug and laid on a MOT type-1 subase that later held a stable for rescued donkeys that know have there forever home complete with large field for plenty of space.

The relocation of drains to facilitate the installation of piles, which would have otherwise collided and caused future complications if not addressed promptly.

This ground screw installation was undertaken on a garden with a gentle slope, making the ground screws ideal for this base. This base later housed a charming garden retreat with a separate storage area separated by a partitioned wall. A tanalised timber frame was constructed on the ground screws, providing a sturdy foundation for the structure.

This job was to allow disabled access into a specific area of a school that was otherwise not possible via wheelchair. All that remained to be done was to change the existing door configuration to a wider more accessible one which was being carried out by different professional.

Here is a detailed description of a concrete base project for a nursery that has enabled the construction of a spacious classroom.

The project commenced with the removal of an outdated and worn-out slabbed area. This was subsequently excavated to facilitate the installation of a sub-base and a 150mm concrete pad. Subsequently, a team from ROUNDPEG outdoor buildings, which also manufactured the classroom, arrived and meticulously erected the building to an exceptionally high standard. The classroom features composite cladding, double-glazed UPVC windows, and a durable rubber roof that is designed to withstand prolonged use.

Drain installations ready for ground re-instatement that was carried out by others after the drains were replaced by ourselves.

This project for a conservatory was undertaken using a top-driven pile, followed by the installation of steel cages on top. Once the concrete was poured set, it was bricked up to the damp course, and a block and beam floor was subsequently installed, leaving the structure ready for the floor insulation, screed, and the conservatory itself.

Here is a job that uses pile and beam for a large two story extension, the ground beams also flow under the existing footing on the original house to underpin the structure at the same time.

In this instance, we have an example of a ground screw installation on flat, level ground. The primary advantage of using ground screws in this scenario is the elimination of the need for excavation, thereby reducing the requirement for skips or other methods of disposing of waste. This, in turn, can lead to cost savings by eliminating the need for materials such as concrete and sub-bases.

This project was successfully completed using 800mm ground screws, a 4x2” tanalised timber frame, and an added membrane, all prepared for the installation of a log cabin.

This project entails the construction of a Concrete slab for a single-story extension at the rear of the property. Due to the presence of tree roots, a conventional ground beam and deeper excavation were not feasible. Consequently, a step edge was formed on the slab. This design allows the outer brick to be below ground level, thereby concealing the concrete. To ensure the stability of the structure against future root or ground heave, six- inch piles were used and double-layered steel mesh over anti-heave material which was sadly not photographed to show as an example.

Ground screws offer a highly effective solution for uneven ground slopes. They not only provide substantial weight retention but also eliminate the need for excessive material filling or addition, thereby reducing associated costs.

These photographs illustrate an unused garden area that has been transformed into a relaxing and entertaining outdoor space. A composite decking area in coffee colour has been installed, complemented by matching composite planters and a tanalised timber pergola. These elements harmoniously blend with the existing slabs across the front, completing the project to perfection.

This is a completed Pile and Beam structure, prepared for brickwork. This project has incorporated bolt boxes to securely attach the steel framework to the concrete, thereby eliminating the necessity to drill holes for bolts, which would result in a less robust construction method.

Although challenging to observe from photos, here is an underpin on an old cottage. Initially, we manually excavated to the desired depth and subsequently proceeded to manually dig beneath the building until we reached the rear of the wall above, we installed four-inch piles and placed steel cages on top before pouring concrete. This type of work necessitates structural specifications that must be adhered to for the underpin to effectively stabilise the building and eliminate any further movement.

Drain replacement on a primary school in Milton Keynes due to old drains collapsing.

Finished product of a pile and beam installation for a new house development site.

This job consisted of pile and beam for a conservatory installation, The use of a micro digger and mini dumper helped turn this job around in a fast and efficient manner for the conservatory instalment to get underway.
