Professional Foundations and Footings in Totton and Southampton
Building a stable, long-lasting structure begins long before the walls go up. At Aline Construction, we understand that foundations are the most critical component of your property project. Serving Totton and the wider Hampshire region, we provide high-precision groundworks that ensure your home extension, new build, or structural alteration sits on a solid, reliable base. Our team combines technical expertise with a deep understanding of local ground conditions to deliver excellence from the very first dig.
How Our Foundation and Footings Process Works
Our process is built on precision engineering and rigorous site management. We begin with a thorough assessment of your site to determine the ideal foundation type for your specific needs.
Site Preparation and Setting Out. We use professional laser levels and modern equipment to establish accurate datum points. This ensures your project is perfectly aligned with your architectural plans and boundary lines, avoiding costly errors during the construction phase.
Excavation and Muck-away. Our team handles all excavation work with care, whether you require standard trenching or more complex digging near existing structures. We manage the removal of spoil efficiently, keeping your site clean and safe throughout the project.
Pouring and Levelling. Once the trenches are inspected, we pour your concrete to the required specifications, ensuring correct grade and density for your load-bearing requirements. We pay close attention to sub-base preparation to prevent future settling or structural movement, finishing the surface to precise levels ready for the next stage of your build.

Answers to common questions about our Foundations Footings in Totton
How deep do my foundations need to be?
In Totton, the depth of your footings usually starts at 1 metre, but this can change. If the soil is heavy clay or if there are large trees nearby, building control may require us to go deeper—sometimes up to 2.5 metres—to reach stable ground. We always verify the depth with a building inspector before pouring.
Can you install foundations in the winter?
Yes, we can work through most of the year. However, we have to be careful if the ground is frozen or if there is heavy flooding. We take steps to protect the trenches and make sure the concrete cures correctly even in colder Hampshire weather.
Do you handle the drainage and pipework too?
Absolutely. Groundworks and drainage go hand in hand. We install the foul water and surface water drainage systems while the ground is open, making sure everything is at the correct fall (slope) to work properly for years to come.
How long does it take to dig and pour footings for an extension?
For a standard house extension in Totton, the groundworks phase usually takes between 3 to 7 days. This includes the initial dig, getting the inspector out, and the final concrete pour. Larger or more complex sites may take a bit longer.
