On this page, I offer more information on popular service areas.
Groundworks
Groundworks are the backbone of any successful construction project. I handle everything from the initial ground investigation and site clearance through to the installation of utilities, drainage, and concrete structures.
My groundwork services include:
- Excavation and preparation for building foundations
- Footings and drainage installation
- Utility trenching for water, gas, electric, and fibre optic systems
- Concrete reinforcements and slab pouring
- Construction of below-ground structures like backdrops and culverts
- Installation of paths, patios, and driveways
- Garden structures, car parks, and swimming pool bases
Each project is carried out with precision, using modern equipment and proven techniques to ensure the site is ready for construction and built to last.
Foundations
A solid foundation is vital for the strength and longevity of any building. I install both shallow and deep foundations, tailored to suit each site’s ground conditions and structural needs.
My foundation works include:
- Excavation and footing preparation
- Formwork and concrete pouring for walls and base slabs
- Waterproofing and drainage installation
- Backfilling and finishing of concrete floors
I’ve worked on everything from small residential extensions to large industrial buildings, using systems such as pile foundations, raft or mat foundations, strip foundations, pad foundations, and combined footing foundations. Every job is carried out carefully and safely to ensure the best possible structural performance.
Driveways, Patios & Paving
I offer durable and stylish driveway installations that add real value and kerb appeal to your property. Whether you’re interested in block paving or gravel driveways, concrete surfaces, patios, or fresh paving, I take care of the full process, from ground preparation and breaking up old surfaces to laying a clean, smooth finish. I also construct commercial car parks and domestic parking areas, paying careful attention to drainage and access requirements.
Concrete Reinforcements
One of my areas of specialism is working with reinforced concrete. I use high-quality steelwork and formwork to strengthen concrete structures, including foundations, floors, retaining walls, and slabs. Reinforced concrete not only increases durability but also supports heavy loads, making it ideal for industrial and commercial buildings. With the right mix design and reinforcement layout, I ensure every pour is strong, level, and built for longevity.
Operated Plant Hire
I provide operated plant hire for clients who require skilled machinery operation to expedite groundworks, landscaping, construction, and civil engineering projects. From excavators and dumpers to rollers and telehandlers, I only use equipment from trusted brands like CAT, JCB, and Thwaites. Having an experienced operator on-site saves time, boosts safety, and ensures the job’s done right the first time.
