Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to the questions clients usually ask before booking a survey or requesting a quote.
Can a retaining wall make a sloping garden usable?
Often, yes. Where ground levels make a garden unusable, a properly engineered retaining structure can create level, usable areas.
Can you build a basement on a tight or confined site?
Yes. We have completed basement constructions in confined spaces using temporary earthwork support systems, and can procure the design as part of the package.
Do you underpin existing foundations?
Yes. We carry out foundation raising and underpinning where an existing building needs deeper or stronger foundations, working to the engineer's design.
What does your constructions service include?
Our constructions service is tailored to the project, including planning, practical site considerations, workmanship and a clear handover.
Do you work on residential and commercial projects?
Yes. Sutton Building & Developments Ltd works across domestic, commercial and local authority projects, depending on scope and programme.
