Forti Nova Ltd · Blackburn · UK-wide
A specialist ground screw business.
Not a faceless lead site.
GroundScrewsUK.co.uk is Forti Nova Ltd’s dedicated ground screw platform for supply, installation, technical guidance and recorded project evidence across the UK.
We use the site to help customers understand the foundation before asking them to buy it — from cost and screw sizing through to ground conditions, installation and the connection to the structure above.

Who we are
Forti Nova is the company behind Ground Screws UK.
Forti Nova Ltd operates from Blackburn, Lancashire and supports ground screw projects across the UK. GroundScrewsUK.co.uk is not presented as a separate anonymous installer network: it is the specialist ground screw website operated by Forti Nova.
The business supports customers at different stages of a project. Some arrive with a finished screw schedule and need supply. Some need a complete installed foundation. Others have a drawing, footprint or building concept and need to understand what information is required before a sensible foundation decision can be made.
That difference matters. A structural ground screw foundation is more than a metal product in the ground. The screw positions have to make sense with the beams, walls or frame above. The site has to be accessible. The ground has to be considered. Heads, brackets and any supporting steel or timber need to connect the foundation to the structure properly.
Our job is to make that route clearer. The website separates cost, installation, sizing, loads, ground conditions, product specifications, Building Regulations, applications and local coverage into dedicated guides so customers can find the answer they actually need.
How we work
Foundation decisions before product pushing.
The process changes with the job, but these four principles keep the conversation useful and stop location, floor area or a headline screw price being treated as a specification.
01
Start with the building
The useful first question is what the foundation is supporting, where the loads land and how the frame or beams connect to the support points.
02
Look at the actual site
A postcode helps with logistics. It does not tell us the ground conditions, access route, levels or what is below the surface.
03
Choose the buying route
Some customers need product only. Others need installation. Some need help understanding the foundation before either route can be priced properly.
04
Use evidence where it exists
Where Forti Nova has a recorded project, we show the recorded location and services. We do not turn representative imagery into a fake local case study.
What Forti Nova does
One ground screw route, several levels of support.
Ground screw supply
Product supply for trade customers, contractors and experienced installers who already know what the project needs.
Installation
Ground screw installation planned around the support positions, access, ground information and the building above.
Technical guidance
Plain-English guidance covering cost, loads, screw sizing, ground conditions, product specifications and Building Regulations.
Structural coordination
Where appropriate, ground screw positions can be coordinated with light gauge steel framing rather than treating the foundation and frame as unrelated packages.
Recorded project evidence
Proof where the record exists.
These examples come from Forti Nova’s recorded Project data. We show the recorded location, project type and services rather than creating generic case studies and assigning them to towns for SEO.

Our technical standard
Say what we know. Say what needs checking.
We do not use a universal screws-per-square-metre rule for structural foundations. We do not choose a screw from the town name. We do not treat two products as technically identical because they share the same length.
Where a project needs structural design, Building Control information, product documentation or more ground information, those requirements still exist. Ground screws can be a very practical foundation route, but they are not a reason to skip the normal decisions needed to support the building properly.
Project-led sizing
Length, diameter and depth are considered with the building and site rather than chosen from floor area alone.
Evidence-led claims
Project records, product information and technical guidance are kept separate from generic marketing claims.
Clear limitations
Where another foundation route may be more suitable, the website explains that instead of claiming ground screws fit every job.
Useful documentation
Our technical content points customers towards the drawings, load information, product details and site information that may be needed.
Who we support
From one garden building to repeat construction programmes.
Homeowners
Garden rooms, decking, sheds, extensions and other projects where a clean, practical foundation route may be suitable.
Builders & contractors
Ground screw supply, installation and project support for one-off or repeat construction work.
Garden-room & modular companies
Repeatable foundation support for businesses delivering framed buildings across multiple sites.
Commercial & structural projects
Ground screw enquiries for larger framed, modular and commercial applications where project information and technical coordination matter.
Foundation + frame coordination
Where appropriate, the support points and frame can be considered together rather than passed between unrelated suppliers.
Beyond the screw
The foundation has to connect to a real building.
Forti Nova also works with light gauge steel framing. On suitable projects, that means the ground screw support positions and the frame above can be considered as one interface instead of leaving the connection problem until later.
That does not mean every ground screw project needs a steel frame. It means the business understands that the foundation is part of a wider structural build-up, not an isolated product sale.
