Groundwork & foundations in Bournemouth

Everything starts with solid groundwork. We carry out foundations, footings, drainage and site preparation to the right depth and spec for a build that lasts.

Groundwork & foundations in Bournemouth

The part of a build you never see is the part that matters most. Poor foundations cause cracks and movement years later. We dig and pour footings and foundations to the correct depth and specification for the ground conditions, and lay drainage properly.

From preparing a site for an extension to the groundwork for a full new build, we get the base right so everything above it stands the test of time.

What's included

  • Strip and trench-fill foundations
  • Footings to correct depth
  • Drainage and soakaways
  • Site clearance and preparation
  • Concrete slabs and oversite
  • Building control inspections

Common questions about groundwork & foundations

How deep do foundations need to be?
It depends on ground conditions, nearby trees and the structure above. Building control inspects the dig before pouring to confirm it is adequate.
Do you handle drainage too?
Yes — drains, connections and soakaways are part of our groundwork service.
Can you prepare a site for a new build?
Yes, from clearance and levelling through to foundations and oversite ready for the build to begin.
