When you’re planning a building project, the foundations are—quite literally—what everything depends on. At ABC Anchors, we believe the best foundations start with British-made screw piles. Not only do they provide a reliable, modern alternative to traditional concrete foundations, but they also offer unbeatable value when it comes to time, service, and cost.

British Screw piles

Here’s why buying British isn’t just patriotic—it’s practical, too.


Supporting British Industry with Screw Piles

Let’s start with the big picture. Every time you choose a UK manufacturer like ABC Anchors, you're directly supporting British jobs, engineering, and innovation. It’s not just about waving the flag—it’s about ensuring our manufacturing expertise continues to thrive here at home.

We're proud to design and manufacture all our screw piles right here in Wiltshire, supplying projects across the UK with a product that’s made by people who understand UK construction challenges first-hand.


Swift Shipping and No Customs Hassles

When you import construction materials from abroad, shipping delays, customs clearance, and unexpected fees can wreak havoc on your schedule and budget.

Buy British, and you skip the drama.

Our screw piles are shipped directly from our factory in Wiltshire, which means no lengthy transit times, no customs paperwork, and no extra import charges. We can respond quickly to your project needs—whether that’s supplying a few piles at short notice or helping you meet a tight build schedule.

Need a last-minute change or extra components? With us, you won’t be waiting weeks. You’ll likely have what you need on-site within days.


Expert Knowledge and Real Service

Ever tried explaining a problem to someone who’s never set foot on a British site?

When you buy from overseas, you often get generic products and overseas customer service teams who aren’t familiar with UK ground conditions, planning rules, or environmental considerations.

With ABC Anchors, you get a team who knows your environment, understands your challenges, and is ready to help. We work with everyone from self-builders to architects and contractors, offering guidance that’s grounded in local knowledge and decades of experience.

Whether you need advice on which pile to use, installation techniques, or even help on-site, our team is here to make things easier.


Time = Money

Delays cost money. The faster and smoother your foundation installation is, the quicker your project can move forward.

Thanks to short lead times, prompt service, and piles designed specifically for easy installation (even in hard-to-reach areas), our clients often report saving both time and labour costs.

Our screw piles mean no excavation, minimal disruption, and an install that can often be completed in a day or two (depending on the size of the project).


Designed for the UK. Built to Last.

ABC Anchors screw piles are manufactured from high-grade steel, and fully galvanised to suit varying soil types and applications across the UK. They’re engineered for a lifespan of over 100 years —perfect for both permanent builds and relocatable structures.

From sloping sites to root protection areas, our system is as flexible as it is robust. So whether you're building a garden office, a modular home, or a rural retreat, we've got the right foundation solution for you.


The Bottom Line

Buying British screw piles means:

✅ Shorter lead times

✅ Lower shipping costs

✅ No import duties or customs headaches

✅ Local support and expert guidance

✅ Products designed for UK projects and conditions

✅ Supporting British jobs and manufacturing


It’s smart. It’s efficient. It’s the right choice—for your project and for the economy.
