Memorial Piling Frequently Asked Questions

What is memorial piling and why is it needed?

Memorial piling involves installing piles beneath headstones or memorials to create a stable, long-lasting foundation. It’s needed when graves or memorials are sinking, leaning, or at risk due to poor ground conditions such as soft soil, waterlogging, or ground movement.

How does Basetec Piling stop headstones from leaning or collapsing?

We use mini and micro piling techniques to stabilise the ground beneath memorials. By installing piles deep into the soil, we prevent sinking and ensure that headstones remain upright and secure for years to come.

Are your piling solutions safe for cemeteries?

Yes. Our cemetery-friendly equipment consists of compact, low-vibration rigs designed to operate safely in sensitive areas like cemeteries, churchyards, or other memorial sites without disturbing nearby plots.

Can Basetec Piling work on existing unstable headstones?

Yes. Basetec Piling is trusted by councils, churches and private cemeteries across the North West, providing expert memorial piling services to maintain safe and stable headstones.

What types of piling do you use for graves and memorials?

We specialise in mini and micro piling, which allows for precise installation in small or confined spaces. These methods provide a strong foundation even in areas with poor soil conditions where traditional methods fail.

How long does memorial piling work last?

Properly installed piles create a permanent solution to ground movement issues. By stabilising the foundation, headstones remain upright and secure, reducing the need for repeated maintenance or repairs.

Will the piling work disturb nearby graves or memorials?

No. Our low-vibration, compact rigs and careful installation process ensure that adjacent plots and headstones remain undisturbed during piling works.
