Footings, Concrete Bases & Screeding in Pontefract, Wakefield, Leeds & York
Groundwork for builders, developers and homeowners, from extension footings and commercial slabs to shed bases.
Footings & Bases
Alongside driveways and gardens, we do the groundwork other trades build on: footings for extensions and new builds, concrete bases and slabs, and floor screeding. We work for builders, developers and self builders as well as homeowners, across Pontefract, Wakefield, Leeds, York and the towns in between.
The photos on this page are two recent jobs. The first is a set of reinforced strip footings for a house extension, dug out, steeled and poured. The second is a concrete base laid beside a commercial unit, from the ground stripped back to the finished slab.
Smaller jobs are welcome too. We lay shed bases and garden room bases, and the ground underneath gets the same preparation as a commercial slab.

Pinkerton Property covers the whole of Yorkshire from bases in Pontefract, Methley near Leeds and just outside York. Pick your town for local jobs and prices.

Waiting on the footings
On an extension or new build nothing else can start until the footings are in.
