What we do

Groundworks, done to the line and level.

From the first cut to the final pour, we handle the trades that everything else is built on — surveyed, set out and signed off to spec.

01Excavated foundations ready for concrete footings

Foundations & footings

Strip, trench-fill and raft foundations dug, set out and poured to engineer's drawings and Building Control sign-off.

02Drainage pipework being laid on a groundworks site

Drainage & sewer connections

Foul and surface water drainage, soakaways, gullies and adoptable connections — laid, fall-checked and tested.

03Excavator carrying out site clearance and excavation

Excavation & site clearance

Bulk dig, muck-away, reduced-level digs and site strip-outs, with clean access and tidy spoil management throughout.

04Concrete slab and oversite being prepared and poured

Concrete, slabs & oversite

Reinforced slabs, oversites, garage bases and hardstandings — formed, steel-fixed and finished flat and true.

05Retaining wall and structural groundworks under construction

Retaining walls & structures

Block, mass-fill and gabion retaining walls that hold back ground and create usable, level space on sloping plots.

06Finished resin and block-paved driveway laid over a prepared sub-base

Driveways & hard landscaping

Proper sub-bases, edgings and surfacing for block paving, resin and tarmac drives that stay flat and drain right.

The crew the rest of the build depends on.

Groundworks is the one stage you can't go back and fix. We treat it that way — surveyed properly, set out accurately, and left clean for the trades that follow.

  • Fully insured & compliant

    Public liability cover, safe systems of work and Building Control-ready records on every job.

  • On programme, no surprises

    Clear timelines, honest pricing and a crew that turns up when we say we will — start to sign-off.

  • Domestic & commercial

    From a single extension footing to full site civils for developers and main contractors.

  • Left clean & ready

    Tidy spoil management, protected access and a site handed over level, tested and ready for the next stage.

Good to know

Groundworks questions, answered.

Do you cover my area?
We work within a 30-mile radius of DH4 4PD, covering Washington, Ponteland, Darras Hall, Gosforth, Durham, Chester-le-Street and most of Tyne & Wear, Northumberland and County Durham. Not sure if you're in range? Send your postcode and we'll confirm straight away.
Is the quote free?
Yes. We provide a free site survey and a clear, itemised written quote with no obligation. We'd always rather see the ground in person than price blind off a phone call.
Do you work with engineer's drawings and Building Control?
Absolutely. We set out and pour to engineer's specifications and keep the records Building Control need for inspection and sign-off at each stage.
Do you take on both small jobs and full site civils?
We do — from a single extension footing or driveway base for a homeowner, through to bulk dig, drainage and civils for developers and main contractors.
How soon can you start?
It depends on the job and the time of year, but we'll give you an honest lead time at quote stage. Get in touch early and we'll book your survey in.
