Foundations are a long-term investment. Our comprehensive insurance cover, and the insurance-backed guarantee we offer, protect yours, even if M&D were ever to stop trading.

Protection that stays with the building.

Where we issue a guarantee on our works, it is backed by our comprehensive insurance policy. That gives you the confidence that if M&D Foundations ever ceased to trade, our liabilities under the contract would still be met.

We provide the drawings and structural calculations needed for approval, and the insurance-backed guarantee we offer sits alongside your warranty, giving you and any future buyer extra peace of mind.
