Since formation in the early eighties, Firm Foundations has built and continues to build a lasting reputation based on accumulated years of experience in the building industry.

We have over 25-years experience of practical design and installation of specialist foundations in difficult ground conditions adapting traditional systems for a variety of projects from small extensions to access limited developments.
