A screw pile is a steel foundation system consisting of a central tubular shaft with a helical tip, optional extension sections, and a flanged head for structural connection. Essentially, it functions as an extendable ground screw, driven into the ground to create a stable and load-bearing foundation.

Our range of extendable screw piles is designed to reach the necessary depths for maximum stability, particularly in soft or variable ground conditions. They provide an efficient solution for raising ground levels without the need for large-scale excavation. Engineered for strength and precision, our screw piles use advanced anchoring technology that allows structures to be directly fixed to the screw head -preventing both lateral and vertical movement under load.

Screw piles are available in a variety of diameters to meet the specific project requirements. Each system features a flanged head compatible with a wide range of standard or custom fittings.

All of our screw piles are hot-dip galvanised in accordance with BS EN ISO 1461:2009, ensuring long-term corrosion resistance and durability across a range of environments.

"Ground screw offer a sustainable foundation solution - minimising soil disruption, reducing carbon emissions, and enabling reusability for a greener future in construction."

Why Choose Ground Screw?

Ground screw offer a smarter, faster, and cleaner alternative to traditional concrete foundations. With no need for digging or curing, they provide instant, dependable support - perfect for sloped, uneven terrain or areas with restricted or limited access. Ground screw can also be used with traditional strip foundations.



Key Benefits:

  • Fast Installation – Most foundations can be completed in just one day
  • No Excavation – No digging, no mess, no heavy machinery
  • Eco-Friendly – Made from sustainable steel with a low environmental footprint
  • All-Weather Performance – Installable year-round, even in challenging conditions
  • Cost-Effective & Reusable – Save on labour, materials, and long-term project costs
  • Lower Carbon Footprint – Reduced site visits, minimal waste generation and decreases the carbon emitted from the ground during traditional foundation digging.

 

Ground screw simplify your build while supporting a greener, more efficient future.

About Us

Ground Screw South East Ltd is proudly owned and operated by brothers Steve and Mark Degiorgio, two experienced builders and entrepreneurs with a long-standing reputation in the South East. With several successful ventures under their belt - including a property maintenance company, an HMO development firm, and an interiors business - they bring a comprehensive understanding of the construction and property industries.

The brothers founded Ground Screw South East Ltd to enhance the customer experience and streamline the build process. After years of installing traditional foundations, they recognised the value of ground screw systems and embraced this forward-thinking method. Having successfully used the technology in their own projects, they now deliver these benefits directly to their clients, cutting delays, disruption, and cost while ensuring reliable, high-performance foundations.

With extensive experience in groundwork and structural support, they offer professional installations across Kent, Sussex, Surrey, Essex and nearby regions. From garden buildings to timber frames or solar projects, our ground screws deliver efficient, solid, and sustainable foundations, faster.

Ground Screw South East Ltd is committed to helping homeowners, developers, contractors, and property professionals achieve more sustainable building outcomes.

Sustainable Foundations

Our ground screw foundations offer a unique eco-conscious alternative to traditional concrete bases, making them an excellent choice for projects that prioritises environmental performance and green credentials. By eliminating the need for excavation, wet trades, and concrete curing, ground screws significantly reduce site disruption, vehicle movements, and overall carbon emissions. This results in cleaner, quieter construction practices that benefit not only the environment, but also surrounding communities and site efficiency.

Whether you're a site manager working to meet corporate sustainability goals, a maintenance manager looking for low-impact installation methods, or a property developer aiming for BREEAM or Passivhaus certification, ground screws can support your objectives with real, measurable environmental benefits.

Key sustainability benefits of our ground screw foundations include:

  • Lower carbon footprint compared to concrete-based alternatives
  • Reduced waste and minimal ground disturbance
  • All-weather, all-season installation to minimise delays
  • Reusability and long-term material value
  • Contribution towards sustainability credits in certified developments.

In both domestic and commercial projects, our ground screw systems offer a tangible way to build responsibly—protecting the environment, reducing costs, and adding long-term value. Contact us today to find out how ground screws can help you meet your sustainability goals.

Who We Work With

We serve clients across domestic, commercial, and public sectors, including:

At Ground Screw South East Ltd, we don’t just install ground screws - we can also provide professional post-installation load testing to verify the strength and stability of your ground screw foundations.

Using the industry-recognised ground screw compression testing kit, we can carry out on-site ground screw load testing to confirm that the installed screws meet the required bearing capacity and structural performance standards specified for your project. This service offers full quality assurance and peace of mind for clients, engineers, builders, and architects alike.

Whether you’ve installed ground screws for a home extension, garden building, modular structure, or a solar panel array, our load testing service ensures compliance with specifications and helps satisfy building control or structural sign-off requirements.

Benefits of Our Ground Screw Load Testing:

  • Provides certified load verification for installed ground screws
  • Confirms screws meet the structural load requirements of your project
  • Supports compliance with engineering specifications and building regulations
  • Offers peace of mind for clients, builders, and structural engineers
  • Helps pass building inspections, especially in regulated or high-load applications
  • Ideal for commercial installations, modular foundations, and solar mounting systems.

Our ground screw load testing is available as a standalone service, perfect for:

  • Projects requiring post-installation validation
  • Sites needing documented proof of load-bearing performance
  • Retrospective assessments or quality assurance testing.

Validate Your Installation with Confidence.
Get reliable, data-driven confirmation that your ground screw foundation system is structurally sound and compliant.
