What Our Groundwork Services Cover
Foundations & Footings
Strong, level foundations are essential for any structure.
We dig and pour footings to exact specifications, ensuring your build stands on solid ground.
Drainage Installation
We install and upgrade surface and foul water drainage systems, helping prevent flooding and damp issues.
Our solutions include gullies, soakaways, and pipework with correct falls and flow rates.
Excavation Services
Whether you need deep digging for utilities or shallow cuts for foundations, our team provides precise and efficient excavation work, using our own operated machinery.
Site Clearance
We clear vegetation, debris, and spoil, preparing your plot for development quickly and safely.
We also handle waste disposal in line with environmental standards.
Concrete Works
We pour and finish concrete for bases, slabs, and driveways, using high-strength mixes and professional techniques to ensure durability and a smooth finish.
Kerbing & Edging
We install kerbs and concrete edgings for access roads, car parks, and domestic driveways.
This not only defines spaces but protects surfaces from damage.
Trenching & Ducting
We dig and prepare utility trenches for cables, pipes, and fibre optics, ensuring correct depth, alignment, and reinstatement.
Tarmac & Hard Surface Prep
We offer full prep services for tarmac driveways and access roads, including levelling, compacting, and base construction for long-lasting results.
Our Approach – Safe, Skilled, and Structured
Every project starts with a clear plan. We begin with a site visit and consultation, assessing soil type, access, and any risk factors. From there, we create a schedule of works that’s realistic and tailored to your build.
Our qualified operatives use the right tools for the job, whether it’s hand-digging in tight spaces or operating heavy plant for major excavations. We ensure all work is carried out safely, cleanly, and with minimal disruption to surrounding areas. At DAB Building, we’re proud to deliver groundworks that are both technically sound and efficiently managed, helping you avoid delays, extra costs, or future problems.
We brought DAB in to prep for a large steel-framed garden office. They cleared the site, dug out and poured the slab with incredible attention to detail.
The finish was smooth, level and ready for framing the next day. What impressed me most was how tidy and organised they were — no mess left behind and no confusion about the plan. Dan gave us great advice on site access too. A proper team of professionals, through and through.
