How Does Screw Piling Work?

Screw piling is a modern foundation solution that uses steel piles with helical blades to anchor securely into the ground. Installed quickly with minimal noise and vibration, they transfer structural loads deep into stable soil layers, making them ideal for a wide range of projects where traditional concrete foundations may be less efficient.

Explore some of the key applications below, or watch our project videos to see where screw piling delivers strong advantages.

New Builds

Strong, reliable screw pile foundations designed for new homes and housing developments, ensuring stability across a wide range of Gloucestershire ground conditions. ​

Foundations Construction

Screw Piling, Underpinning and Foundation Repair Across Gloucestershire

Wherever you are in Gloucestershire, our team is ready to help. From the busy streets of Gloucester city to the Cotswold villages and the riverside towns of Tewkesbury and Stroud, ground conditions vary — and so do the piling challenges. With our local knowledge, we deliver the right screw piling and foundation solutions across the county.

We regularly work in:

  • Gloucester & Cheltenham – Ideal for underpinning and foundation repairs in both modern developments and historic properties.

  • Stroud & Nailsworth – Known for sloped sites and clay soil, where screw piling offers stability without extensive excavation.

  • Tewkesbury & Winchcombe – Flood-prone areas where ground movement and water tables demand robust piling solutions.

  • Forest of Dean – Rural projects, including temporary structures, cabins and eco-builds, benefit from quick and low-impact screw piling.

  • The Cotswolds – Luxury homes and period properties often need discreet foundation reinforcement with minimal disruption.

Wherever your project is — from a small garden structure to a large commercial build — our engineers understand Gloucestershire’s unique ground conditions. That local insight means safer, faster and more reliable results.

The Process

1.

Initial Consultation & Site Assessment

Every project begins with a detailed consultation. Our team will discuss your requirements, review site conditions, and carry out an initial assessment to determine the most effective screw piling solution.

2.

Screw Piling Design

We carry out a ground investigation to understand soil type, depth, and load requirements. From this, we design a piling system that ensures long-term stability while meeting building regulations.

3.

Installation of Screw Piles

Using specialist equipment, our engineers install the screw piles with minimal disruption. The piles are rotated into the ground until the required depth and load-bearing capacity are achieved.

FAQs

What is screw piling and how does it work?

Screw piling is a foundation technique where steel piles with helical blades are rotated into the ground until they reach stable soil layers. This provides a secure and reliable foundation for buildings and structures without the need for heavy excavation.

Is screw piling suitable for properties in Gloucestershire?

Yes — screw piling is particularly effective in Gloucestershire due to the county’s mixed ground conditions, from clay soils to areas affected by tree roots. It’s a versatile solution for both residential and commercial projects.

How long does the installation take?

Most screw piling installations can be completed within a few days, depending on the size and complexity of the project. This makes it a faster and less disruptive option compared to traditional concrete foundations.

Can screw piles be used for underpinning existing foundations?

Absolutely. Screw piles are often used to stabilise and reinforce existing foundations, particularly in older Gloucestershire properties that may be experiencing settlement or subsidence.

What types of projects in Gloucestershire benefit from screw piling?

Screw piling can be used for a wide range of applications, including new builds, extensions, conservatories, retaining walls, solar installations, and commercial foundations.

Why choose screw piling over traditional foundations?

Screw piling is quicker to install, requires less excavation, and can often be completed in restricted access areas. It also provides immediate load-bearing capacity, which speeds up the overall project timeline.
