High-Quality Footings
What is the purpose of footing?
Footings are a necessary part of foundation construction and are used to support the foundation and prevent settling. They are generally made from concrete with rebar reinforcement that has been set into an excavated trench and is used in areas with shifting soils to help protect against foundation settlement. J&A Landscapes can properly assess the soil conditions before making recommendations on the depth, width, and placement of the footings for optimal function. As well as homes and other buildings, footings can also be used for other projects including decks, pergolas, retaining walls and other types of structures.

What type of footing do I need?
We at J&A Landscapes can provide advice on which footing type you need based on your unique specifications, although we generally work with three types of footing:
Spread Footing
Spread footing has a broader base that is designed to spread the building’s weight over a larger area than the load-bearing wall that it supports.
Stepped Footing
Stepped footing provides support to structures by transferring the weight to layers of soil or rock that have greater bearing capacity.
Trench Footing
Trench footing is the most common type of footing that we work with and is made from reinforced poured concrete.
What is the difference between foundation and footing?
Foundations under a structure are used to transfer the weight of the building to the earth, whereas the footing is what’s in contact with the ground itself.
What is the average cost of footing UK?
The cost of footing will vary depending on many factors; however, it can range from £2,000-£4,000. We recommend getting in touch with us today for a full quotation based on your specifications.
