KHB Piling LTD installs piled foundations for homeowners, builders and developers across Wembley, the wider London Borough of Brent and neighbouring Harrow. Our base in UB6 is a short drive away, so site visits, rig deliveries and follow-up work are quick to arrange.
Why Piling Is Common in Wembley and Brent
Most of Brent and Harrow sits on London Clay. It is a strong material at depth, but near the surface it shrinks in dry summers and swells in wet winters. Close to mature trees the movement is greater and reaches deeper, which is why building control and structural engineers in the area often specify piles instead of deep trench foundations for extensions and new houses.
Piles carry the load below the zone of seasonal movement. On typical residential sites that means founding the piles several metres down, with the exact depth set by the engineer from the site investigation, the loads and the influence of nearby trees.
Piling Services in Wembley, Brent and Harrow
- Mini piling for extensions, rear gardens and restricted-access sites
- CFA piling for new builds where noise and vibration must be kept low
- Rotary bored piling for heavier loads and deeper founding strata
- Piled underpinning for buildings affected by subsidence or clay movement
- Basement piling, including contiguous retaining walls
- Groundworks: ground beams, pile caps and slabs
Typical Projects We Handle
- Single and double-storey rear extensions on clay near trees
- New houses and small developments on infill plots
- Foundations for garden rooms and outbuildings where access is through the house or a side passage
- Piled underpinning where an existing building has moved
For tight sites we use compact rigs that fit through standard side access and work close to boundary walls. Where the work is near a neighbour’s property, we plan the method to suit the party wall process.
How a Piling Job Runs
- Review: we check the engineer’s design and the ground investigation, or advise what investigation is needed.
- Method and quote: pile type, rig, programme and price.
- Installation: piles installed and recorded, with spoil removed.
- Ground beams and caps: if included, we complete the reinforced concrete so the site is ready for the next trade.
