Self-Builder - Berkhamsted
"Lots of sites are like ours - trees, plenty of clay and not very even. Conventional foundations might be made to work, but you are never sure of all the issues until you actually dig. A piled foundation might be the answer but sounds expensive. The Abbey Pynford Housedeck System provided us with all of the advantages that a piling system has, at a similar cost to the conventional approach.
Housedeck gave us many other benefits, including the lack of waste from digging out; an accurate flat foundation; which was ready to take our construction and foundation calculated for the structural requirements verified by a third party.
I was absolutely delighted with the support and service provided by the professional team at Abbey Pynford and would recommend them to all my colleagues".
Mr. Ian Holloway, Managing Director - Holloway Construction
"We could not have done this job with piles and ground beams because of the continued rain and water table. Housedeck was the ideal solution. I was also particularly impressed with the overall cleanliness and tidiness of the site".
John Porter, Commercial Manager - Belstone Homes
"Although the process with other methods was comparable, Housedeck offered a far superior technical solution and was quicker... I would definitely use them again."
Mr. Adam Howarth, Managing Director - Howarth Homes
"While the overall price and programme were better than traditional methods, Housedeck was particulary useful in overcoming party wall difficulties at our site".
Mr. Bruce Pelferman, Construction Director - Birch Group
"While the price of Housedeck was comparable with traditional pile and beam methods, it suited us because we didn't have the risk of a large rig immediately next to the occupied house. We wouldn't have dug the trenches anyway because of the continual rain. Definitely to be recommended!"
Andy Watts - Self Builder
"Abbey Pynford was a very professional and supportive company whose workmanship exceeded my expectations. As a novice self-builder, they were helpful through-out the whole build and adapted to the complex ground conditions without any problems. They provided excellent project management, delivered on time and to budget and I would have no hesitation in using them in the future and recommending them to others."
