Ground Screws: The Smarter, Cleaner Way to Build Foundations

A fast, low-carbon alternative to concrete, designed for all terrain and weather.

Ground screws are a modern, high performance foundation system that removes the need for traditional digging, shuttering and pouring concrete.


Each screw is manufactured from galvanised structural steel, designed and tested to withstand the same and often greater loads as concrete foundations. Because they are installed using precision torque equipment, there is no excavation, no mess and no waiting for curing times.

Unlike concrete, which disturbs the ground and locks in permanent change, ground screws are driven directly into the soil, displacing rather than removing earth. The helical design of each screw cuts a clean path into the ground and anchors securely below the surface. This creates a stable, level foundation that is ready to build on immediately after installation, even on uneven or sloping terrain.

 

The result is a faster, cleaner and more sustainable foundation with a lower carbon footprint and minimal site disruption. Whether for a single garden room, glamping pod or full commercial base, ground screws offer the strength of steel and the simplicity of instant installation.

Load Resistance

What are the benefits of Ground Screws?

Low-Carbon, No-Dig Foundations

Ground screws use fewer resources and generate far less carbon than concrete.
 

There’s no excavation, spoil removal, or curing time, just clean, instant installation that protects the surrounding ground.

Faster & Cleaner Installation

Installed in a fraction of the time compared with concrete, ground screws go straight into the soil with minimal disruption.
 

No waiting days for concrete to set, your base is ready to build the same day.

Engineer-Certified Strength and Safety

Every screw we install is tested and certified to meet SER engineering standards and galvanised to BS EN 1461:2009.
 

That means proven load capacity, durability, and complete confidence under your structure.

Flexible Brackets & Structural Bases

From timber joist floors to structural steel frames and solar mounts, we supply a full range of engineered bases and fixing brackets.
 

Whatever the project garden room, pod, deck or extension, our ground screws adapt perfectly. 

Built to Last – 35-Year Warranty

Our screws are made from high-grade galvanised steel for maximum corrosion resistance and performance.
 

Each installation comes backed by a 35-year warranty & full technical documentation. 

Reliable on Any Terrain

Hard-to-access, uneven, or sloped ground is where ground screws excel.


Their precision installation and adjustable brackets ensure perfectly level foundations even in challenging soil conditions.
