Why Choose Groundworks, Extensions & New Builds?
From foundations to final prep, we provide dependable groundwork for every build.
A solid start for every project
Proper groundwork ensures the land beneath your build is stable, level and ready for construction — preventing problems with subsidence, drainage or movement in future.
Complete build capability
After preparing the ground, we can continue with the construction — delivering quality extensions, garden rooms or full new builds with continuity and careful project delivery.
Safe, compliant and prepared
Accurate excavation, drainage and foundation work keeps your project compliant with building regulations and built to perform long term.
Ready for landscaping and external finishes
Well-executed groundworks make installing patios, driveways and outdoor features smoother and more durable, helping link your new build beautifully with its outdoor space.
