Groundworks & Foundations

Site clearance, dig and muck away, footings, foundations, drainage and concrete — the groundwork everything else is built on.

The part that everything depends on

Groundworks are the foundation of the whole job — literally. Get them right and everything above ground goes smoothly. We handle:

  • Site clearance and setting out — stripping the site ready to build
  • Excavation, dig and muck away — with our own excavators and operators
  • Strip and trench footings — dug and poured to your drawings
  • Foundations and concrete — bases, oversite and slabs
  • Drainage — foul and surface water, ducting and connections
  • Hardstanding and access roads — stone, sub-base and finishes

How we work

We price from your drawings or come out and look at the site. Because we run our own plant through JR Plant Hire (NE) Ltd, we're not waiting on hire companies to free up a machine — that keeps programmes on track.

Send us the details and we'll come back to you with a quote.
