Foundations
Strong foundations are the backbone of any building. We carry out all types of foundation work, always using the right approach for the ground conditions and structural needs of your project. From domestic extensions to large-scale new builds, we ensure everything is laid safely and correctly the first time.
Our foundation services include:
- Strip Foundations
- Trench Fill Foundations
- Piled Foundations
- Raft Foundations
Every foundation job is completed with meticulous planning, safe excavation and proper waste removal — backed by our Waste Carrier Licence.


Excavations
Our groundwork contractors handle excavations for projects of all shapes and sizes. Whether you’re digging out for foundations, a basement or utility trenches, our team works carefully to minimise disruption and keep your site safe.
We’re experienced in removing a range of materials and, thanks to our Waste Carrier Licence, you can trust us to clear spoil responsibly and in line with local regulations.
Retaining Walls
We construct retaining walls that protect your site and add lasting strength to your landscape. From garden beds to commercial plots on a slope, our team builds walls that hold back soil and prevent damage.
Types of retaining walls we build include:
- Sheet Pile Retaining Walls
- Cantilever Retaining Walls
- Gravity Retaining Walls
- Reinforced Soil Retaining Walls
Every wall is built to industry standards, ensuring durability for years to come.


Drainage
Proper drainage is vital for protecting your structure and the surrounding land. We install and maintain drainage systems that help prevent pooling water and long-term damage. This includes integrating culverts and completing drainage repairs such as unblocking pipes or patch lining.
Good drainage is often overlooked — but getting it right means fewer problems down the line and a site that stays safe and dry.
Driveways
As part of our groundworks service, we lay driveways that are built to handle daily wear and changing weather. Our team works with you to choose materials that suit your property — concrete, tarmac or block paving — and delivers an installation that looks good and lasts.
Block paving is a popular choice for its flexibility: if damage occurs to an individual block, it can be lifted and replaced without disturbing the rest of your driveway.
