Our home city
No Digging works out of 63 Alexandra Drive, Liverpool, and the city is where most of our work is. That covers everything from a garden office in a terraced back garden to hoarding lines and signage on commercial sites.
Being local matters for a method built around speed. A site assessment and an installation can often be arranged close together, rather than around a travelling crew.
Access is usually the deciding factor
Liverpool's terraced and semi-detached housing rarely offers room for a digger and a concrete lorry. Screw installation equipment is handheld and carried through a standard side passage.
That is the difference between a foundation that fits the property and one that involves lifting paving and repairing a lawn afterwards.
Getting to you in Liverpool
Our base is 63 Alexandra Drive, L20 0EE, so a Liverpool job is a short drive rather than a scheduled trip out of region. That is what makes it realistic to look at a site and install soon afterwards instead of batching work by distance.
Our lines are open Monday to Saturday, 8am to 6pm. Send the enquiry form or ring the landline on 0151 530 1825 or the mobile on 07930 024 372, and you will get your questions answered and an estimate over the phone before anybody travels.
We are asked for the same handful of things across the city: a level base for a garden office in a back garden, decking off the back of a terrace or semi, a fence or railing line that has to be secure the same day, and hoarding, signage and advertising board foundations on commercial plots around the docks, the retail parks and the industrial estates.
What a Liverpool job usually looks like
A typical domestic job here is a garden office or garden room base: we set out the screws to the supplier's bearer layout, drive them to a common level, and the building lands on a foundation that was installed that morning.
On the commercial side it is hoarding runs, sign posts and advertising board frames, where the value is a perimeter or a display that takes load the same day instead of three days later.

Local conditions
Ground, access and weather in Liverpool
Made ground and mixed soil
Urban plots frequently sit on made ground, with varying conditions across a single garden. Screw type and length are set from what is actually there, and can change position to position.
Because the ground is displaced rather than excavated, there is no spoil to test, load and take away.
Mature gardens and trees
Older Liverpool gardens often have established trees and root systems that excavation would damage. Screws are positioned around roots and services instead of cutting through them.
The soil stays unsealed, so drainage across the garden is unchanged.
Victorian and Edwardian housing stock
Much of Liverpool's housing is Victorian and Edwardian terraces and semis, and the constraint is almost always the same: a narrow side passage, a shared entry, no vehicle access to the rear, and a garden that a digger would have to cross the house to reach.
Because the installation driver is handheld and carried through, the foundation crew works in a back garden the same way a joiner would. There is no plant on the lawn, no spoil piled by the back door and no skip needed on the street.
Older properties also bring shallow drain runs, old outbuilding footings and buried yard slabs. Screws are positioned around those rather than trenched through them, which is often the difference between a straightforward job and an expensive surprise.
Parking, permits and street access
Inner-city streets rarely have room for a concrete lorry and a grab wagon, and residents' parking makes a multi-day foundation operation genuinely difficult to organise.
A screw installation arrives in a van, takes a few hours and leaves nothing behind, so there is no muck-away collection to arrange and no waiting days for a pour to cure while the street is blocked.
For commercial work on trading sites across the city, that same speed is why installations can be fitted around opening hours instead of shutting a forecourt or car park.
Docks, industrial land and city-centre plots
Liverpool's dock estates and former industrial land carry made ground, old slabs and buried service runs, so conditions change across a single plot far more than they would on a greenfield site.
Screw type and length are set from the assessment and adjusted position by position, and because nothing is excavated there is no spoil from potentially contaminated ground to classify and dispose of.
City-centre and waterfront positions are also exposed, so wind loading, not the dead weight of the structure, sizes the foundation for boards, hoardings and tall signage.

FAQs
Liverpool questions we are asked most
Do you cover the whole of Liverpool?
Yes: the whole city, from the L postcodes north through Bootle and Walton to the south Liverpool suburbs, plus the commercial districts and dock estates. We are based in L20, so Liverpool is our nearest working area.
How quickly can you get to a Liverpool site?
We do not publish a guaranteed response window, but Liverpool is minutes from our base, so a site assessment is usually one of the easiest visits we arrange. Call during opening hours and we will tell you the realistic dates for your job.
What does a ground screw foundation cost in Liverpool?
It depends on the number of screws, their specification and the access to your garden or site, so every job is priced individually. Tell us what you are building and you will get an estimate over the phone at no cost.
Can you install in a back garden with no vehicle access?
Yes. This is the most common Liverpool job. The driving equipment is handheld and carried through the passage or the house, so terraced and semi-detached gardens are treated like any other site.
Can you work at short notice on a Liverpool commercial site?
Often yes, because an installation is usually a single visit of a few hours with no concrete delivery to book. Ring us with the dates you need and we will be straight with you about what is possible.
Do you work outside Liverpool as well?
Yes: across Merseyside, Sefton, Knowsley, Wirral, St Helens, Warrington, Cheshire and the wider North West, with ground screw supply available nationwide.
