What we do

Groundworks that support the drainage and the build

Our groundworks grew out of our drainage work. Every drain repair that can't be relined and every new system starts with a dig, so excavation has always been part of the job. Today we take on groundworks in their own right as well.

Excavation for Drain Repairs

Where a pipe has collapsed or can't be relined, we excavate down to the damaged section, replace it and leave the drain running properly.

Excavation for New Drainage

Trenches and excavations for new foul and surface water runs, inspection chambers, soakaways and attenuation systems.

Footings

Footings dug and prepared for extensions, garages, outbuildings and new builds, set out to your plans.

Bases & Slabs

Concrete bases and slabs for extensions, garden buildings, garages and commercial use.

General Groundworks

Site preparation and excavation for building projects, working alongside your builder or main contractor.

Drainage-led groundworks

Why use a drainage specialist for your groundworks?

Most building projects have drainage running through them, and that's where groundworks most often go wrong. An existing drain gets cut, a new run is laid to the wrong fall, or the drainage is left for someone else to sort out later.

Because we're drainage specialists first, we plan the dig around what's under the ground. When your footings or base cross an existing drain, we deal with it properly at the time, and when your project needs new drainage, the same team installs it.

From small to large

From a single repair to larger installations

Drain Repair Digs

A targeted excavation to expose and replace one damaged section of pipe, keeping disruption to your garden, driveway or yard to a minimum.

Extensions & Domestic Projects

Footings, bases, new drainage runs and diverted drains for home extensions, garages and outbuildings.

Developments & Commercial Sites

Larger excavations and groundworks for new developments, commercial units and drainage installations, working to the project programme.

How we work

Planned before we dig

1. Look at the site

We visit the site and go through your plans or drawings, or the CCTV survey if it's a drain repair.

2. Quote the job

You get a clear quote setting out what's included, with any questions raised before work starts.

3. Set out and excavate

We check for existing drains and services, set out the work and excavate to the plans.

4. Complete the work

We lay the drainage, footings, base or slab and leave the job ready for the next stage.

Groundworks and excavation questions

Do you only do groundworks for drainage jobs?

expand_circle_down

No. Excavation for drainage repairs and installations is a big part of our work, but we also lay footings, bases and slabs for extensions, garages, outbuildings and commercial projects.

Do I need to dig up my drain to repair it?

expand_circle_down

Not always. Many damaged drains can be relined from the inside after a CCTV survey. We only excavate where the pipe has collapsed or can't be lined.

Can you divert a drain for my extension?

expand_circle_down

Yes. If an extension is planned over or near an existing drain, we can divert it or install new drainage as part of the groundworks, to the layout on your approved plans.

Do you work with builders and main contractors?

expand_circle_down

Yes. We regularly work alongside builders, developers and contractors, taking on the groundworks and drainage so they can get on with the build.

Do you lay concrete bases for garden buildings?

expand_circle_down

Yes. We lay bases and slabs for garden rooms, sheds, garages and outbuildings, as well as for extensions and commercial use.

What areas do you cover?

We're based in Benfleet and work anywhere in Essex.
