Jon Glyne
I cannot recommend Henry and his team highly enough for the work. All work was carried out to extremely high standards. So much so that neighbours have commented on how professional the team was.
Grant Engineering
To Grant UK, Henry Timmis Ltd is more than our grounds maintenance contractor. They are a trusted partner that we can rely on to keep our grounds in immaculate condition and their standard of work is always to the highest order.
David Cooke
Henry has done groundworks for me 5 or 6 times for oak frame extensions over the course of perhaps 6 or 7 years. Nothing negative to say – he’s timely, responsive, on budget and very polite with my clients.

King Post Retaining Walls in Worton, Wiltshire
- Engineered Groundworks by Henry Timmis

At Henry Timmis Ltd, we specialise in robust, long-lasting retaining wall solutions, including king post retaining systems — the ideal choice for managing earth retention on narrow access sites or along roadways and footpaths.

As shown in the image, our team uses specialist equipment such as auger drill rigs to accurately install steel H-section king posts. These posts are driven deep into pre-bored holes to ensure maximum stability and load-bearing performance, ready to receive concrete panels. This method provides fast and efficient earth retention with minimal disruption to the surrounding area.

  • Suitable for slope stabilization
  • Ideal for temporary or permanent installations
  • Compatible with a variety of panel heights

Once the king posts are securely in place, we install precast concrete panels between them to form a clean, strong retaining wall — as shown in the second image. This modular design ensures a quick install time and long-term resilience against lateral earth pressure.

  • Clean aesthetic and functional design
  • Customisable wall heights and finishes
  • Ideal for private driveways, commercial infrastructure, and public paths
  • Experienced in complex terrain and limited-access locations
  • Complete project management — from excavation to final finish
  • Fully insured and accredited operators and equipment

At Henry Timmis Ltd, we specialize in robust, long-lasting retaining wall solutions, including king post retaining systems — the ideal choice for managing earth retention on narrow access sites or along roadways and footpaths.
