Site preparation
We clear non-hazardous waste, rubble, and materials, including single-storey demolition. Hazardous waste is managed through authorised partners. Sites are left level and ready for development, ensuring compliance with safety and environmental standards.
Foundations
We install strip, reinforced, and raft foundations tailored to ground conditions and architectural requirements. Our methods ensure structural stability for residential and commercial projects, adapting to challenging soil types like peat.
Drainage
We lay clay or plastic pipes for foul and rainwater systems, including rainwater harvesting solutions. Our installations meet local authority regulations, ensuring efficient water management and flood prevention for domestic and commercial properties.
Domestic utilities
We handle excavation and ducting for gas, electricity, water, and BT cabling within site boundaries. Our team ensures trenches meet depth regulations, with backfilling to mark utility locations for safety and compliance.
Plant hire
We offer JCB excavators, tracked excavators, dumpers, and rollers for daily hire. All rentals include a skilled driver and full insurance, providing clients with reliable machinery for projects of varying scales.
