Thomas worked alone and later in partnership with his brother James and his pupil William Ignatius Okely in the firm Foster and Okely based in Orchard Street, Bristol.
After his brother's death in 1836, and after Okely left the firm in 1840, Thomas was joined in partnership by his son John Foster (died 1880).
Thomas died on 6 July 1849. After his death, his son, John continued on the practice.
