Six stages. One firm.

A groundworks job runs in a fixed order — strip, dig, form, drain, finish. We take on the whole run or a single stage, for homeowners, builders and developers.

Site clearance & demolition

typical working depth 0.0 m

Every job starts with a clean site. We strip, demolish and clear so the real work can begin on solid, known ground.

Site clearance
Vegetation, spoil, old slabs and structures removed and carted away.
Demolition
Controlled demolition of garages, outbuildings and small structures.
Site investigations
Trial pits and ground checks before design decisions are made.

Excavation & earthmoving

typical working depth 0.6 m

Bulk digs, reduced-level digs and trenching — cut accurately to line and level, with spoil managed off site.

Excavation
Footings, basements, reduced-level digs and service trenches.
Earthmoving
Cut and fill, levelling and ground remodelling for new builds and landscaping.
Muck away
Spoil loaded and removed, ground left ready for the next trade.

Foundations & underpinning

typical working depth 1.2 m

The part of the build nobody sees and everything sits on. Formed to the drawing, poured right, signed off first time.

Building foundations
Strip, trench-fill and raft foundations for extensions and new builds.
Underpinning
Strengthening existing foundations where ground or loads have changed.
Concrete works
Slabs, bases and oversites, floated and finished.

Drainage & sewage systems

typical working depth 1.8 m

Foul and surface water taken care of below ground — from a single soakaway to a full off-mains treatment system.

Drainage
New runs, repairs, soakaways and connections to the main sewer.
Septic tanks & treatment plants
Supply and installation of off-mains sewage systems.
Cesspools
Installation and replacement where treatment systems are not an option.
