What Are Groundworks?

Groundworks are the complete preparation of the ground, from what you see on top to below it, before the construction of a project takes place. Well-planned groundworks are the first essential step to any construction project, ensuring a stable foundation to support the structure or surface that will be built above.

Our Groundwork Services

• Excavation & Site Clearance – Removing debris and preparing the site for work.
• Foundations & Sub-base Preparation – Laying strong, compacted bases ready for the final surface.
• Drainage Installation – From soakaways to surface water drainage.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which surface should I pick?

All the surfaces we offer have their own pros and cons – it really depends on your preferences and requirements. If you’re not sure which surface to select for your new project, let us know, and we will be more than happy to advise and talk you through your options.

Generally, we work with tarmac, resin-bound surfaces and asphalt as far as surfacing materials go. For a long-lasting surface, we opt for tarmac and asphalt, which is what roads in the UK are made of. For a more attractive, versatile material that can last for a long time without needing maintained every few years by groundworks contractors, we’d suggest resin-bound. Last, but certainly not least, is gravel. Gravel is a great choice for those who want to cover large areas of ground with a surfacing material that won’t put you too out of pocket.

What will be included in my groundworks quote?

No matter which service you choose, when we put together a quote, it will include everything required to complete your groundworks to a high standard. Trusting us to handle your project, you don’t have to worry about any hidden charges or unexpected bills.

Can you complete my groundworks outside business hours?

For your convenience, we offer a round-the-clock service that functions seven days a week. This allows us to complete work at a time to suit our clients, even if that’s outside the regular 9-5.

What is the turnaround time of getting groundworks complete?

How long it takes to complete our groundworks depends on many factors, including the scope of work, site conditions, and our current schedule. Projects closer to us in the Peterborough/Cambridgeshire area may have shorter lead times due to logistics, but we’re committed to delivering quality work on time regardless of location. Naturally, commercial groundwork usually takes longer than residential.
