Our ground screws provide strong, stable, and level bases with instant load-bearing capacity - meaning you can begin building the very same day they're installed.
Unlike traditional concrete foundations, our screw piles require no excavation, no curing time, and cause no surrounding ground damage. This makes them especially ideal for properties with limited access. You don’t need to worry about bringing cement mixers through your house, removing large volumes of soil, or dealing with messy construction delays. Ground screws can be installed even during winter, including into frozen ground, keeping your project on schedule year-round.

Whatever you’re planning, Ground Screw South East provides an eco-friendly, efficient, and durable foundation system that’s ready when you are.
Concrete isn’t your only option. At Ground Screw South East, we're bringing advanced screw pile technology to the residential sector, offering durable, low-impact alternatives for house extension foundations.

These modern systems reduce excavation, speed up construction timelines, and provide immediate structural integrity – making them ideal for extensions where access is restricted or ground conditions are challenging.
Screw foundations are changing how home extensions are built. While traditional options like strip, slab, or trench fill foundations remain common, more and more homeowners are choosing screw piles for their cost-effectiveness, sustainability, and adaptability.
If you’re planning an extension, send us your project details and we’ll be happy to assess your site. We can advise on the most suitable foundation system and provide all the technical information you need to get started.
Create a stunning outdoor space with Ground Screw South East - the smart, stable foundation solution for all types of decking. Our ground screws are engineered for strength and adaptability, making them perfect for everything from compact garden decks to large multi-level terraces.
Ground screws, also known as earth screws or ground anchors, offer a superior alternative to traditional concrete footings and deck piers. Installed quickly and precisely by our experienced teams, they provide a solid base for your decking – even on sloped, uneven, or hard-to-access terrain. Their minimal ground disturbance and environmentally friendly design make them an excellent choice for sustainable landscaping.
Why choose ground screws for decking?
Fast installation: No waiting for concrete to cure – most installs are completed within a day, allowing your project to move forward immediately.
No digging required: Avoid messy and costly excavation or soil removal. Ground screws can be installed directly into grass, soil, or even concrete.
Environmentally friendly: Ground screws have lower embodied carbon than concrete, are corrosion-resistant, and can be easily removed and reused with minimal environmental impact.
Adaptable and stable: Ideal for sloped or soft ground, screw piles can be extended or embedded deeper for a stable, level deck foundation.
All-weather capability: Install any time of year – even in frosted or wet ground – without delays due to weather.
Expert installation: Our skilled installers are equipped to handle any site conditions or challenges, ensuring a seamless and secure result.
For projects requiring deeper support, we offer an extendable screw pile system to ensure secure anchoring at greater depths. We can also provide either a steel frame or timber frame to support your decking structure, depending on your specific design and requirements.

Ground screws offer the ideal foundation solution for temporary and event structures - strong, stable, and fully reusable with minimal impact on the surrounding ground.
Whether it’s a temporary classroom, portable office, modular welfare unit, construction site fencing, ticket booth, or staging for a live event, ground screws provide a fast, clean, and reliable way to anchor your structure securely. Our sustainable foundation system is compatible with a wide range of portable and temporary buildings, including portacabins, sheds, modular classrooms, and other relocatable units.
One of the key advantages of using ground screws for temporary works is their reusability. Once the structure is no longer needed, the screws can be easily removed and redeployed elsewhere – without damaging the surface below or requiring ground reinstatement. They deliver a level, stable base that won’t sink or shift, even under challenging conditions or on soft or uneven ground.
Installation is quick and efficient, carried out by our expert team using the latest machinery and tools. We also offer a complete service including site surveys, load testing, technical design, and planning support to ensure that your project runs smoothly from start to finish.
For projects that demand strength, speed, and flexibility – without the footprint of concrete – ground screw foundations are the go-to solution. Contact us today to discuss your upcoming temporary installation.

In zoo environments, every construction decision must be made with animal welfare in mind. Noise, vibration, and ground disturbance can all cause unnecessary stress to animals - making traditional foundation methods unsuitable for sensitive sites. That’s why more zoological parks and wildlife facilities are turning to ground screws as a non-invasive, low-impact solution for their infrastructure needs.
Ground screws allow for rapid installation with minimal noise, vibration, or excavation – dramatically reducing disruption to both animals and their habitats. Whether you’re installing fencing, viewing platforms, shelters, pathways, or enrichment structures, our screw foundations offer a secure, stable base without the need for concrete or heavy groundworks.
The process is clean and quiet, often completed within hours, and perfectly suited to both permanent and temporary installations. Structures can be securely anchored, adjusted, or removed without damaging the surrounding ground or enclosures. This makes our system ideal for conservation areas, walkthrough habitats, and high-sensitivity zones where animal wellbeing is the top priority.
With full site assessments, load-bearing tests, and custom fittings available, we work closely with zoo professionals to ensure each installation meets the highest standards of care and construction. Our experienced teams are trusted across the UK to deliver safe, efficient foundations – built for both structural integrity and species safety.

Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs) are revolutionising the way we build, offering exceptional energy efficiency, structural strength, and quick assembly. When paired with ground screws, SIP buildings become even more efficient, versatile, and sustainable.
