Piers, pillars & footings

Gate piers, pillars and foundation work set out plumb, level and square. The bits that hold everything else up, dug, poured and laid right so gates hang true, walls stay put and structures sit on a sound base. Get the footings right and the rest of the masonry follows.

What's included

Piers, Pillars & Footings, done properly.

Gate Piers

Brick or block gate piers built plumb and square, sized for the gate and capped off, with the ironwork and fixings built in ready to hang.

Pillars & Columns

Decorative and structural pillars for porches, walls and entrances, set out true and finished to match the surrounding masonry.

Footings & Foundations

Strip and trench footings dug and poured to depth, set out from the drawings so the wall or structure above lands exactly where it should.

Setting Out

Levels and lines set from a datum before a brick is laid, so piers line up, walls run true and everything comes up square.

Frequently asked

Common questions.

Can you build piers for my driveway gates?

Yes. We build gate piers to suit the gates, with the hinge fixings and any wiring duct built in, capped off and sat on a proper footing so they take the weight and the swing without moving.

Do you dig and pour footings?

We do. We dig the footings to depth, set out from the drawings or the wall line, and pour them so the masonry above starts off level and square.

How deep do footings need to be?

It depends on the ground and the load, the valleys throw up everything from rock to made-up ground. We dig to a sound bearing and to the depth building control expect for the job.

Can you match piers to an existing wall?

Yes. We build new piers and pillars in brick or block to match the existing wall, same bond, same pointing, so they look part of the original run.

Will the setting out be accurate?

That is the foundation of a good job, literally. We set lines and levels from a datum first, so piers line up, gates fit and walls run true off the back of it.
