01 — What we do

From a single drainage run to a whole site.

Most of our work is groundworks in the ordinary sense — site strip, muck shift, foundations, drainage, stone and concrete. We take it from the first dig through to finished levels, so there is no gap between trades and nobody else to chase when something needs sorting.

Alongside that we build water containment: irrigation reservoirs, slurry and effluent lagoons, fishing lakes and amenity ponds. That work needs the right machines, the right levels and someone who has lined a basin before. It is the part of the job most groundworkers turn down, and it is where a lot of our time goes.

02 — How we work

Straight answers, and a price that holds.

We would rather tell you a job is not worth doing than take it on and dress up the bill afterwards.

/01 One contractor The same team from first dig to reinstatement. No handovers and no gaps between trades.
/02 Priced honestly We look at the ground before we quote. If the job needs more than you were hoping, you hear it up front.
/03 Left tidy Levels finished, banks reinstated, muck away and the site left in a state you would be happy to show someone.
/04 Self-drive or operated Plant available on a self-drive basis where you have a competent operator, or with ours if you would rather we ran it.

03 — Accreditations

Qualified and carded.

Main contractors check cards before anyone sets foot on site. Ours are current, and we can send certificates with a quote.

/01 CPCS Construction Plant Competence Scheme — proof of competence to operate plant on site.
/02 CSCS Construction Skills Certification Scheme — the standard site access card.
/03 SSSTS Site Supervision Safety Training Scheme — supervisory health and safety competence.

04 — Coverage
