Frequently Asked Questions
What areas do you cover?
We work throughout Greater Manchester, Lancashire and West Yorkshire. We try to keep our travelling time to no more than an hour from our Rochdale base.
What sort of costs are we looking at?
The costs for piling varies with each individual job. However, as costs are invariably based on the size of the project it is easy to give a ball park figure with just a few details. Based on recent projects, job size/costs can be roughly broken into 4 bands. Each band has a rough cost based on the total number of linear metres of foundation required. Simply work out your length of foundation and multiply it by the rough cost per metre for the work you require.
Small extensions up to approx 6 metres foundation - £300 to £330 per metre
Medium size extensions with approx 10 to 20 metres foundation - £190 to £230 per metre
Large extensions with approx 25 to 50 metres foundation - £160 to £190 per metre
New build houses with approx 51 to 100 metres foundation - £140 to £160 per metre
All above costs include a fully designed and installed piled foundation. All costs do not include VAT. No excavation is included.
What information is required to provide an estimate?
All that is required to provide an initial estimate is a copy of your architects plans or engineer's drawings. We can come out to see you on site or alternatively please send by email to info@pennineminipiling.co.uk. An estimate for the works can be supplied on the same day that we receive your enquiry.
How long does it take to carry out the piling work?
House extensions typically take between 2 to 5 days to complete depending on size. Full house foundations can take between 8 to 15 days again depending on size.
Do you carry out any excavation?
No we do not excavate and would expect this to be carried out prior to work commencing. For our own typical 450mm wide x 350mm deep ground beam an excavation of 450mm wide by approximately 500 to 600mm deep would be sufficient.
When can you start the job?
Generally we can start a job 2 to 3 weeks on from receiving an order. There are times when this can be as little as a week to over a month so please contact us for further details.
