County-wide coverage
From our Liverpool base we cover the whole of Merseyside: Sefton, Knowsley, St Helens, Wirral and the city itself.
The work ranges from homeowners adding decking or a garden office to contractors needing hoarding, signage and advertising board foundations on programme.
One method, many applications
The same driven foundation carries garden buildings, decking, fencing, signage, hoardings, advertising boards and single-storey extensions.
What changes is the screw specification, set from the load above and the ground below.
Coverage and turnaround across Merseyside
Working out of Liverpool puts every Merseyside borough inside normal daily travelling distance, Sefton, Knowsley, St Helens and Wirral as well as the city, so a Merseyside enquiry is routine work rather than an out-of-area job.
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.
Demand across the county splits fairly evenly: garden rooms, decking and boundaries on the domestic side, and hoarding, signage, advertising board and light structural foundations on the commercial side, often for contractors working to a fixed site setup date.
What we are usually asked for
Homeowners across the county mostly come to us for a level base under a garden room, a deck that will not rot at the posts, or a fence line that has to be secure the day it goes in.
Contractors come to us for foundations that fit a programme: hoarding on day one of a site setup, signage inside a short closure, or board frames on a plot that has to be handed back as found.

Local conditions
Ground, access and weather in Merseyside
Coastal exposure and wind load
Merseyside sites near the coast and the estuary are exposed, and wind loading drives the specification for anything with a face on it: boards, hoardings and signage in particular.
Screw length, diameter and spacing are set from that exposure rather than a standard detail.
Working around trading sites
Commercial installations rarely come with a site shutdown. Screws go in quickly and quietly with handheld equipment, so business can carry on.
There is no spoil, no skip and no concrete delivery to programme around.
Property types across the county
Merseyside covers almost every housing type in one county: inner-city terraces with passage-only access, interwar semis with long narrow gardens, post-war estates on made ground, and larger detached plots with mature planting.
Each of those fails a concrete foundation in a different way, access, spoil, soil variability or tree roots, and all four are solved by driving a foundation instead of excavating one.
On the commercial side, the county's retail parks, dock estates and industrial units mostly need foundations installed without closing anything down, which suits handheld installation and immediate loading.
Weather, tides and a fixed programme
A wet county on an estuary is hard on excavated foundations. Trenches fill, pours get delayed, and a week of rain can put a small build back by a fortnight.
Ground screws are designed for installation all year round, and because nothing has to cure there is no weather-sensitive waiting period at all; the structure can be built the same day the screws go in.
Near the coast or the estuary, wind exposure drives the screw length, diameter and spacing for anything with a face on it: hoardings, boards and tall fencing, and is assessed position by position rather than assumed.
Made ground, old footings and shallow services
Large parts of Merseyside are built on made ground, with old footings, yard slabs and redundant service runs left underground from previous uses.
Excavation finds all of that the expensive way. Screws are positioned around obstructions and services, and where the ground changes across a site the specification changes with it.
Displacing the ground rather than removing it also means no spoil to test or dispose of, which on former industrial plots is a genuine saving rather than a technicality.

FAQs
Merseyside questions we are asked most
Which Merseyside areas do you cover?
All of them: Liverpool, Sefton, Knowsley, St Helens and Wirral, on both domestic and commercial work, plus screw supply to trade customers across the county.
How fast can you reach a Merseyside site?
Every borough is within normal travelling distance of our Liverpool base. We do not promise a fixed response time, but we will give you honest dates for an assessment and an installation when you call.
What will a ground screw foundation cost in Merseyside?
Pricing follows the number of screws, the specification and the site access rather than a fixed rate. You get an estimate over the phone before any visit is arranged.
Can you install on a Merseyside site that has to stay open?
Yes. Installation is handheld, quick and creates no spoil or skip, so most commercial jobs go in without closing a forecourt, car park or yard.
Do you work in winter across Merseyside?
Yes. Ground screws are designed for all-year-round installation and there is no concrete cure to protect, so wet and cold weather does not stop the work.
Do you supply screws to Merseyside contractors?
Yes. As one of the UK's biggest independent distributors we supply screws, head plates and specification advice for crews installing themselves.
