Groundworks Services

Complete Ground Preparation

From excavation to final drainage, we prepare sites to engineer specifications with proper compaction, levels, and compliance.

Excavation & Site Prep

Machine excavation, muck away, site clearance, and ground levelling to construction tolerances.

Concrete Footings

Strip foundations, raft foundations, pile caps, and reinforced concrete to structural engineer designs.

Drainage Systems

Foul and surface water drainage, soakaways, channel drains, and connection to existing mains.

Retaining Walls

Gabion baskets, reinforced concrete, and brick retaining walls. Structural solutions for level changes.

Why It Matters

Foundations That Last

Groundworks determine everything that follows. We get it right first time.

Engineer-Led

We work from structural engineer designs and Building Control approvals. No guesswork.

Building Regs Compliant

All groundwork signed off by Building Control. Full documentation for your records and future sales.

Proper Equipment

Mini excavators, dumpers, wacker plates, and laser levels. Right tools for precise results.

Drainage

Water Management Done Right

Poor drainage causes damp, subsidence, and failed Building Control. We design and install complete systems.

Soakaways

Crates or rubble soakaways sized to handle your roof area. No more standing water after rain.

Channel Drains

Aco drains for driveways, patios, and garages. Prevents water ingress and surface pooling.

Mains Connections

Section 106 agreements and water company connections handled. All paperwork and approvals included.

"Dennis and his team done an excellent job on our double story extension in Letchworth. We couldn't be any happy with the work they done. The work was very neat and tidy and above standard. Dennis done lots of extra jobs also with no issues. Definitely recommend these lads."

"Dan and Denis have completely transformed our house into the home of our dreams. Their craftsmanship, knowledge, and attention to detail are second to none. They're total pros—reliable, thoughtful, and brilliant at problem-solving. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and we always felt in really safe hands throughout our six-month renovation. Couldn't recommend them more highly!"
