Mini Piling in London
All our work force have extensive training and experience along with relevant accreditations specific to their role on site
Piling is an essential element of any construction project, be it a residential or commercial one, supporting heavy loads and irregular structures. Mini piling is one of the most versatile types of piling to counter subsidence issues. It is a piling with a narrower diameter of 100mm to 600mm and can be installed anywhere. Though it’s a lightweight and affordable option, it is as strong and durable as other piling types.
You need expert guidance and assistance for the installation of mini piles. This is where Alpha Piling LTD helps you. We are a registered company providing top-tier services of mini piling in London via skilled and trained engineers.

Unparalleled Benefits of Mini Piling
Mini piling is not just a foundation solution but offers several other benefits, such as:

- It’s an affordable option, with no heavy machinery or special treatment being required for installation.
- Construction time can be reduced by opting for mini-piling as we carry out the process promptly.
- Minimal vibrations are associated with mini-piling, making it safer for wildlife and surrounding buildings.
- The narrow diameter and use of small-sized equipment to install mini piles make them suitable for areas with limited headspace or access.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long will it take to install mini piles?
It depends upon the size and complexity of the project. On average, mini piling for a standard home extension can take up to 3 days. It can extend to 2 to 3 weeks for a new building.
Are mini piles strong enough to support heavy loads?
Being narrow in diameter doesn’t mean that mini piles are weaker than other piling types. They can easily support heavy loads and irregular structures by evenly distributing their weight.
What methods are used for mini piling?
Generally, 3 methods are used for mini piling:
- Augured piling
- Sectional flight auger (SFA) piling
- Bottom-driven mini-piling
Can mini piling tackle the heave effect?
Heave is the expansion of soil beneath a structure due to high moisture. It pushes the ground upward, causing structural damage. Mini piles are explicitly designed to go deep in the ground and keep the structure stable in heave conditions.
