Groundworks
Groundworks You Can Trust
How It Works
Site survey & specification
A qualified operative surveys the site, records levels and soil type, and issues a written specification that meets building regulations and architect requirements.
Groundwork delivery
We carry out clearance, excavation, formation of foundations and drainage installs using plant that’s appropriate for the job and the local ground conditions.
Testing, handover & guarantee
We complete inspections, drainage tests and as-built records, hand over certificates where required and activate the 10-year guarantee on practical completion.
Why Choose us for Groundworks?
10-year guarantee
All groundworks are covered by a 10-year guarantee as standard, giving long-term protection on structural and drainage work.
15 years' practical experience
Fifteen years delivering foundations and siteworks on houses, extensions and larger block refurbishments across Thanet and East Kent.
Accredited, insured and capable
CSCS and TrustMark accreditation plus full insurance and a track record on commercial-scale projects mean safe, compliant delivery on every job.
Practical groundwork that keeps projects moving. Groundworks is more than dig-and-fill — it’s setting the structural stage for a build. We prepare compacted sub-bases, form strip and raft foundations to engineers’ specs, install surface and foul drainage, and install attenuation or soakaways where required. Our teams use local knowledge of coastal soils and site access to select the right methods and plant.
Support for developers and homeowners. Whether turning a terrace into flats or laying a new driveway and patio as part of a garden project, we work to programme, coordinate with trades and provide the documentation you need for Building Control. For larger schemes we offer co-ordinated delivery with our property development services, keeping milestones and quality checks clear from excavation to completion.
