What is on this site
One question, "piling cost uk", answered with a quote form that works on the page with no account, 3 guides on the questions around it, a data table you can cite (the figures and their method), and the sources every figure rests on.
- When do foundations need piles? Clay, trees and bad ground: Foundations need piles when trench footings can't reach stable ground: shrinkable clay with trees nearby, made-up ground, high water tables, or building near drains.
- Mini piling cost UK: 2026 prices per metre for small-rig work: Mini piling costs £250–£450 per metre of depth per pile plus £1,500–£3,000 mobilisation. What the small rigs can do, tight-access jobs, and a worked example.
- Piling vs traditional foundations: cost comparison for 2026: On good ground, trench fill is cheaper than piling. Once trenches chase stable ground deep, roughly beyond 2.5m, piles usually win. The honest comparison, priced.
