No More Digging

What No More Digging does

No More Digging is a Scotland-headquartered ground screw foundation installer and the residential installation division of Radix Base Systems Ltd, part of the RADIX Group. Founded in 2018, the company supplies and installs RADIX-branded helical steel ground screws — galvanised to BS EN ISO 1461:2009 and backed by a 35-year product guarantee and 10-year installation guarantee — as a low-impact alternative to concrete foundations for garden rooms, log cabins, holiday lodges, solar arrays, boardwalks, and event or temporary structures. Its core technology stack comprises the RADIX PRO 76mm and RADIX EXT 89mm (extendable) ground screws, the REX hydraulic installation rig alongside portable electric-powered machines, the RADIX 8000 Precision Torque Monitor (developed with Datum Electronics) for real-time installation quality assurance, and the RADIX SolarTripod and SolarTerrace racking systems for ground-mounted solar PV. Bespoke timber, light-gauge steel, structural steel, and GRP subframes are offered as add-on services, and site-specific static load testing (compression and tensile, up to 120kN per screw) is performed to EN 1997-1 (EC7) standards.

The company operates a horizontal GTM exclusively through a certified network of regional partner installers covering the entire UK and Ireland (Scotland, Wales, England regions, and a single Ireland operation in Swatragh), with each partner owning its defined territory and customer relationships. Revenue is generated on a project-by-project custom-quote basis, encompassing ground screw supply and installation, bespoke subframes, solar racking, and site surveys/testing; pricing is not publicly disclosed. Customer segments are diversified across homeowners, builders and garden-room companies, solar installers, holiday accommodation operators, local authorities and conservation bodies, and commercial/agricultural clients. The RADIX 8000 torque monitor and centralised supply of over 20,000 stocked screws support quality consistency and rapid fulfilment across the partner network, while marketing is anchored on a SEO-rich website with case studies, Trustpilot social proof (4.9/5 across 426 reviews for the Wales operation), exhibitions, and a referral channel through trade partners and a 'Become a Partner' programme.

• ScrewFast Foundations: UK-based helical pile and screw pile installer serving residential, commercial, and infrastructure projects. Direct competitor in the UK foundation installation market.
• Postech Screw Piles: Screw pile foundation specialist with installer networks in Canada, the US, and France. A direct peer in helical pile foundations for residential, commercial, and solar mounting.
