Piling that isn't installed correctly leads to settlement, cracked walls, and disputes with neighbours down the line. WJB Ground Works exists to stop that happening. We install piled foundations across the whole of Greater London, from cramped residential gardens to open commercial plots.
Our experienced team of piling contractors in London has been doing that for 12 years. As part of a wider groundworks operation, piling installation on our sites is never handled in isolation.
Our crews mobilise fast, install to the specified pile schedule, and hand over a finished bore ready for the next construction phase. Contact us today!
Our piling contractors London service includes:
Piling installation sits alongside our other groundworks work, including excavation, RC frame construction, and drainage. One crew handles the site from start to finish.

London ground shifts character within a few hundred metres. Dense clay gives way to old made ground, then to sand or gravel, sometimes on the same plot. Installing piles without accounting for that variation causes problems fast. Get the installation wrong and here's what follows:
Our piling contractors in London check access, ground conditions, and the engineer's pile schedule before a single rig moves on site. Installation follows the specification exactly, with no shortcuts taken on depth or verticality.
We utilise different piling methods as different sites call for different rigs and methods. Ground type, access width, and pile schedule all decide the right fit. WJB Ground Works installs the full range below:
Mini piling rigs fit through garden gates and narrow driveways. Low vibration output makes this the standard pick for house extensions and basement conversions on terraced streets.
CFA installation suits London Clay and sites close to existing buildings. Boring and concrete placement happen in one continuous pass, keeping the bore stable throughout.
Rotary bored rigs handle heavier loads and mixed ground at depth. This is the method our crews use most on commercial sites needing larger pile diameters.
Sheet piling forms temporary or permanent retaining walls for basements and riverside works. Silent, low-vibration rigs are available for sites near rail lines or heritage buildings.
Commercial installations need higher capacity rigs and tighter scheduling. WJB Ground Works has installed piles on office developments, retail units, and industrial sites across the capital.
Wondering why choosing WJB Ground Works instead of other piling contractors London is a better choice? Here's what makes us stand out from the rest:
We've been installing piles across Greater London since 2014. That covers everything from single-storey extensions to large commercial builds. Years on the ground means we've already handled most of what London's soil can throw at a rig.
Many piling contractors bring in subcontracted rigs and operators for each job. That splits responsibility and quality slips. We never do that. Our own operators and site staff run every installation, so you deal with one contact who knows the job.
Our safety approach isn't paperwork for show. It shapes how every rig is set up and run on site. That award-winning standard protects our crews and gives clients confidence from day one.
We install strictly to the pile schedule provided by your engineer. No guesswork on depth, diameter, or sequencing. We accurately execute against the plan you've already approved.
We're recognised across Greater London, Surrey, Luton, and Essex for dependable piling installation on residential and commercial sites alike.
Piling can be booked as a standalone installation service. Or combined with our excavation, drainage, and RC framework under one contract. We fit the service to your project.
