Peninsula coverage
We cover the whole Wirral peninsula for both installation and supply, working for homeowners, builders and commercial clients.
Garden rooms, decking, boundaries and single-storey extensions make up most of the domestic work.
Why screws suit Wirral properties
Larger plots with mature planting and long boundary runs are exactly where excavation is most disruptive and screws are most efficient.
Nothing is dug out, so lawns, drives and root systems stay intact.
Across the peninsula
From Birkenhead and Wallasey through Bebington and Heswall to West Kirby and Hoylake, the Wirral is a straightforward run from our Liverpool base for both installation and supply.
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.
Typical Wirral work is garden rooms and garden offices, decking on gardens that fall away, long fence and railing runs on larger plots, and single-storey extensions, garages and conservatories founded without a dig.
Typical Wirral projects
Sloping-garden work is the signature Wirral job: a deck or garden room held level on screw heads set at different heights, with no retaining, no build-up and no spoil.
We also do a steady run of long boundary lines on larger plots, and single-storey extension, garage and conservatory foundations set out from the structural drawings.

Local conditions
Ground, access and weather in Wirral
Sloping and elevated plots
Wirral gardens often fall away sharply. Rather than building up or cutting into a slope, screw heads are set at different heights to create a single level plane.
Ground screws are suitable for all soil types, even on hillsides, which is what makes that possible.
Coastal and estuary exposure
On the coast and the Dee and Mersey shorelines, wind loading governs the specification for boards, hoardings and tall fencing.
We specify from the exposure and the assessed ground rather than a standard detail.
Sloping and elevated gardens
A great many Wirral gardens fall away sharply, and a slope is where a concrete base becomes expensive: build-up, retaining, stepped foundations or cutting into the bank, all of it generating spoil.
Ground screws are suitable for all soil types, even on hillsides, so heads are simply set at different heights to create one level plane. The frame bolts straight down onto them and the slope stays as it is.
That also keeps timber up off wet ground with air moving beneath it, which is better for a deck or a garden building than sitting it on a damp slab.
Coastal and estuary exposure, older property stock
With the Dee on one side and the Mersey on the other, much of the peninsula is exposed. Wind loading governs the specification for anything with a face on it: boards, hoardings and tall fencing especially.
The older housing around Birkenhead and Wallasey brings the usual constraints of Victorian stock: tight rear access, old footings and shallow services underground.
Larger detached plots in Heswall, Caldy and West Kirby bring the opposite problem: mature planting and long boundary lines that excavation would damage across their whole length. Screws leave lawns, drives and root systems untouched.
Rock, sandstone and variable depth
Parts of the peninsula sit over sandstone, where depth to rock varies plot by plot and even position by position across one garden.
That is precisely why the specification comes from an assessment and why screws are driven to a consistent resistance rather than a fixed depth; the ground tells us where each screw stops.
Ground screws suit all soil types and hillside positions, so a plot that would need a stepped or retained concrete foundation is usually a straightforward screw job instead.

FAQs
Wirral questions we are asked most
Do you cover the whole Wirral?
Yes: Birkenhead, Wallasey, New Brighton, Bebington, Heswall, West Kirby, Hoylake and the rest of the peninsula, for homeowners, builders and commercial clients.
How soon can you be on the Wirral?
It is a short run from Liverpool, so assessments are easy to arrange. We will give you honest dates when you call rather than a guaranteed response time.
Can you build a level base on a steeply sloping Wirral garden?
Yes. Screw heads are set to different heights to form one level plane, which is normally quicker and cheaper than building up or cutting into a slope.
What does a Wirral installation cost?
Pricing depends on the screw count, specification and access. Send the dimensions or call and you will have an estimate over the phone.
Are screws suitable for exposed coastal fencing here?
Yes, with the specification sized to the exposure. Screws are galvanised steel made from 70% recycled material, and individual posts can be replaced later without breaking out a foundation.
Can you found a single-storey extension on the Wirral?
Yes: extensions, garages and conservatories are standard applications. Send the plans or the frame drawing and we will specify the screw grid to them.
