Firmbase Piling Ltd

FirmBase Piling are specialist mini piling and underpinning contractors based in the North West of England. We install piled foundations for house extensions, new builds, conservatories, and light commercial projects, ensuring every pile is driven correctly, safely, and to structural specification. We cover the whole region, including Lancashire, Cumbria, Greater Manchester, Merseyside, Cheshire, and West Yorkshire, offering fully insured and cost-effective solutions.

We also undertake underpinning works using either piled underpinning or traditional mass fill methods, depending on ground conditions. Working closely with homeowners, builders, and structural engineers, we aim to minimise excavation and provide practical solutions for difficult ground conditions, sloping sites, or the presence of underground services. Our owner, Gaz, is directly involved in every project, ensuring a reliable, experienced, and efficient service with clear pricing and no surprises.

With over 20 years of experience, we understand how foundations affect the entire build. We work out sensible solutions for challenges like services in the way, awkward access, or poor ground conditions. We use laser equipment to set levels properly and ensure the project is ready for the next stage of construction.

Our aim is always to install piles safely, accurately, and at the right cost, without unnecessary disruption or oversized equipment.
