Piling Contractors in Croydon – Mini, Micro & Restricted Access Piling Specialists
As established piling contractors in Croydon, Arma Piling designs and installs foundation systems that deliver long-term structural stability on every type of site — from period properties in South Croydon and Purley to new-build developments around Coulsdon and Addiscombe. Our crews have completed countless mini piling and micro piling projects across Croydon and wider South London, working confidently around the area’s London Clay over Thanet Sand and chalk.
Our mini piling services in Croydon are ideal for sites with limited headroom or difficult access — a common challenge across Croydon’s dense suburban streets and limited-access town plots. Using compact, low-vibration rigs, we install mini piles for house extensions, retaining walls, underpinning and refurbishments without disturbing neighbouring structures. For heavier loads, our micro piling solutions provide exceptional capacity with minimal disruption — ideal for basements, commercial builds and groundworks.
What is micro piling?
Micro piling (also called mini piling or pin piling) is a foundation technique using small-diameter piles (typically 100–300mm) that are drilled into the ground and reinforced with steel and grout. It’s used when standard piling is not possible due to access limitations, low headroom, or ground conditions.
At Arma Piling Ltd, we’re proud to be one of the most trusted local piling contractors near Croydon, delivering safe, durable and cost-effective foundations across South London and the surrounding region. Our team brings extensive experience in mini piling, micro piling, CFA piling and screw piling for residential and commercial projects. Whether you’re planning a house extension in Thornton Heath, a new build in Selsdon or a basement in Croydon, every foundation is installed to the highest standards of accuracy and safety.
We understand that every site in and around Croydon brings its own challenges — from restricted access to variable ground conditions across South London. That’s why we specialise in restricted access piling solutions that deliver strong support even in tight plots or difficult soils.
