Groundwork is the preparation that comes before the visible part of a project: clearing, digging, laying the base and getting services into the ground.

Groundwork for homes and gardens
When it is done accurately, every trade that follows can work quickly and well.
We carry out the full groundwork stage for extensions, garages, garden rooms and outbuildings, as well as smaller jobs such as a base for a hot tub or parking for a caravan. Every base is set out carefully and finished level.

Hardstandings and parking
Stone or concrete areas for caravans, trailers and extra parking.
Common questions
Groundworks: your questions.
Do you do the whole groundwork stage or just part of it?
Either. Some customers ask us to take the job from clearance to a finished base for their builder. Others already have a builder and only need the digging or the drainage. We will price whichever you need.
How long does an extension base take?
That depends on the size of the extension, the ground and the weather, and it includes time for the building control inspection. We will give you a timescale for your job with the quote.
Will you work with my builder?
Yes. Builders often bring us in for the groundwork stage. We work to their programme and speak to them directly, so you do not have to pass messages between us.
