Everything we offer for domestic groundworks, drainage and civil engineering projects in Surrey.
Full-Service Groundworks & Drainage
We cover every aspect of groundworks and drainage for domestic projects, from initial site preparation right through to the finished surface.

Everything We Offer
We offer a comprehensive range of groundworks and civil engineering services for domestic customers throughout Surrey.
Groundworks & Site Preparation
Every project starts in the ground. We carry out site clearance, topsoil strip, excavation and earthworks to prepare your site to the correct formation levels before any construction begins.
We manage spoil removal, ground levelling and sub-base preparation to give your project the solid start it needs. Our team understands what different ground conditions in Surrey require, and we work efficiently to keep your project on schedule.

Foundations & Concrete
We design and build foundations for extensions, outbuildings and other domestic structures, including strip footings, concrete bases and pad foundations - all correctly specified for the ground conditions.
Using quality ready-mixed concrete and proven techniques, we deliver foundations that are level, properly reinforced where required and built to last. We work closely with your architect or structural engineer where drawings are provided.

Drainage & Pipework
Drainage problems can cause serious damage if not properly addressed. We install new surface and foul drainage systems, soakaways, French drains and connecting pipework for domestic properties throughout Surrey.
All drainage work is carried out in line with current building regulations where applicable. We can also inspect existing systems and advise on repairs or upgrades before issues become costly.

Driveways & Paving
A well-installed driveway adds real value to your home. We supply and lay block paving, resin-bound and tarmac driveways with a proper compacted sub-base, falls for drainage and a quality finished surface.
We take care of all the groundworks too - dig out, sub-base installation, edging and drainage - so the finished result looks great and lasts for years. No shortcuts, no rework.

Hard Landscaping
We create robust outdoor spaces that stand up to the British climate. From patios and paths to retaining walls, steps and raised beds, our hard landscaping work is built correctly from the ground up.
We're used to working with a range of materials including natural stone, porcelain, concrete block and brick. Every job includes the right sub-base and jointing to ensure the finished surface stays put.

Fencing & External Works
We supply and install close-board timber fencing, post-and-rail, gate posts and associated external boundary works as part of a wider project or as a standalone job.
Fencing is often the finishing touch to a groundworks or landscaping project. We make sure posts are set at the correct depth in concrete, and that gates are hung level and operate properly.
