Our Services

Demolition and groundworks services across Essex

We handle both sides of the job, from clearing and demolishing what is there to digging, draining and laying the foundations for what comes next. Domestic and commercial, on our own plant and machinery, with our own tradesmen on site.

Two trades, one contractor

Most companies do groundworks or demolition. We do both. On jobs that need clearing before they need digging, that means one team, one price and no waiting around for somebody else to finish before we can start.

Groundworks

Everything below ground level and the surfaces that sit on it. Excavation and site preparation, foundations and footings, concrete bases and floor slabs, drainage and soakaways, service installation, retaining structures and muckaway. Whether it is a base for a garden room or footings for a new build, the work we do is what everything else stands on.

See Groundworks

Demolition

Structures taken down safely and the ground left clear. Garages, conservatories, outbuildings and internal soft strips through to full site clearance and bulk excavation, for homeowners, builders and commercial clients. Waste is sorted on site and recycled where we can.

What we take on

Site clearance and demolition

Structures demolished and removed, hardstanding broken out, and the ground left clear, level and ready for whatever comes next.

Bulk earthworks and excavation

Large-scale dig and muck away, including earthwork remediation, with our own excavators and dumpers.

Foundations and footings

Set out and dug to depth, poured and levelled, ready for inspection and the brickwork to follow.

Concrete bases and floor slabs

Reinforced bases for extensions, garden rooms, outbuildings and commercial slabs, laid on a properly compacted sub-base with a damp-proof membrane.

Drainage and soakaways

Foul and surface water drainage installed and connected, soakaways dug and built to take water clear of the building.

Service installation

Ducting and trenching for water, gas, electricity and telecoms, laid to the depths and separations the utilities require.

Retaining structures

Retaining walls and earth support where levels change or ground needs holding back.

Concreting works

Bases, slabs, foundations, footings and hardstanding, poured and finished on site.

Hard and soft landscaping

Patios, paths, driveways and levelling, to finish the ground once the heavy work is done.

Plant and operator hire

Machinery and an experienced driver supplied on their own, if you have a job that needs plant rather than a full team.

Who we work for

Homeowners, builders and commercial clients

We work as both main contractor and subcontractor, and the size of the job matters less than whether we can do it properly.

Homeowners

For homeowners, that usually means a base for a garden room, footings for an extension, a garage taken down, a drive dug out or drainage put right. We are used to working in gardens with a family still living in the house and neighbours either side, and we behave accordingly.

Builders

For builders and developers, it means setting out from drawings, hitting a programme and leaving the site in a state the next trade can work in. Because we run a building company alongside us, we understand what the follow-on trades need from us.

Commercial clients

For commercial clients, it means site clearance, bulk excavation, slabs and hardstanding, with the paperwork, insurance and trained operatives to match.

What it is actually like having us on site

Groundworks and demolition are messy trades. Here is how we make sure it does not feel that way from your side of the fence.

We clean up properly

Site cleanliness is not an afterthought for us. Fences come down and go back up, driveways get swept, and waste is sorted and taken away as we go. Our customers regularly tell us you would not know we had been there.

A price that holds

We come out, look at the job properly, and give you a written price. If something unexpected comes out of the ground we tell you before we do anything about it.

Our own machines, our own men

No subcontractors, no waiting on a hire yard. The people who price your job are the people who turn up to do it, and they are all CSCS or CPCS trained.

We finish what we start

Jobs get completed in a reasonable timeframe and we do not vanish onto the next one. Eighteen years of work in Essex, and a building company alongside us, means our reputation locally is worth more than any single job.
