Screw Piling Services
Screw piling, also known as helical piling, is a specialist foundation method that uses steel screw piles installed into the ground to provide strong, stable support for a structure. It is often chosen when a project needs a reliable piled foundation solution with less excavation, less spoil and reduced disruption compared with traditional concrete foundations.
At Moling Experts, we provide professional screw piling services for homeowners, builders, developers, structural engineers and commercial clients. Our team can help with screw pile foundations, helical pile installation, screw piling for extensions, restricted access projects and sites where a low-disruption foundation method may be the most practical option.
Screw piles can be suitable for a wide range of domestic and light commercial projects, particularly where speed, site cleanliness and access limitations are important factors.
When Screw Piling is Used
Screw piling is commonly used where traditional foundations may be difficult, disruptive or unsuitable. It is particularly useful on restricted access sites, projects with challenging ground conditions, or where a faster and cleaner installation process is required.
This method can be suitable for:
- Screw piling for extensions and domestic building projects
- Helical pile foundations for residential and commercial structures
- Projects where excavation, spoil removal and reinstatement need to be reduced
- Restricted access sites where large foundation equipment may not be practical
- Garden rooms, lightweight buildings, small structures and extensions
- Low vibration foundation work close to existing buildings or boundaries
- Sites requiring professional screw pile installers rather than DIY ground screw products
Whether you are looking for screw piling contractors, screw pile installers, screw pile foundation contractors, helical pile installation or helical piling contractors, Moling Experts can provide experienced advice and a no-obligation quotation.
How Screw Piling Works
Screw piles are installed by rotating steel shafts with helical plates into the ground. These helical plates help the pile advance into the soil while also providing support once the correct depth, torque or design resistance has been achieved.
Once installed, the screw piles can be connected to the structure above using suitable brackets, caps, beams or other engineered details. The exact design will depend on the proposed structure, the load requirements, the soil conditions and any structural engineer specifications.
Because screw piling can often be installed with smaller equipment and reduced excavation, it can be a practical solution for sites where conventional foundations would be more disruptive, messy or time-consuming. Moling Experts can review your project and advise whether screw pile foundations are suitable.

Frequently Asked Questions
Here are some common questions about screw piling. If you are unsure whether it is suitable for your project, please get in touch and we can advise.
What is screw piling?
Screw piling is a foundation method that uses steel screw piles, also known as helical piles, installed into the ground to support the structure above.
Is screw piling the same as helical piling?
Yes. Screw piling and helical piling are often used to describe the same or very similar foundation systems, using steel shafts with helical plates installed into the ground.
Can screw piling be used for extensions?
Yes. Screw piling for extensions can be suitable where ground conditions, access restrictions or project requirements make traditional foundations less practical.
Is screw piling suitable for every project?
No. Suitability depends on the structural loads, soil conditions, site access and engineer requirements. We can review the details and advise on the most practical next step.
