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.

Trenches were cut for water and power supply. They dug, laid ducting and reinstated everything like they’d never been there.
Passed inspection without issue and they cleaned up the road too.

Cleared a tricky site for us and dug footings all in the same day. The whole team worked hard and were easy to deal with throughout.

They dug foundations and laid a concrete slab for our timber-framed garden room. The job involved working around tree roots and old services, but they adapted the plan professionally without complaints.
The site was always clean and safe, and the finish on the concrete was excellent. They worked closely with our builder to ensure everything was positioned perfectly. It’s clear they take pride in what they do. A great experience from start to finish.

We needed ducting laid under an existing driveway for new services. DAB cut and reinstated the surface perfectly, and the services passed inspection the next day.
Really good team with proper skills and the right kit. Very professional outfit.

We hired DAB for site clearance and drainage install. They turned up on time with all their own gear.
Cleared the plot, dug proper trenches and laid pipework with accurate falls. Clean, fast and hassle-free. Would highly recommend them.

Dan’s lads came to do groundworks for our double garage. The job involved clearing overgrowth, setting levels, trenching, ducting and pouring a slab.
What impressed me was how they dealt with unexpected soil conditions and still finished ahead of schedule. They communicated any changes clearly and kept the area tidy each day. The slab was finished beautifully, drainage worked great during the recent rains, and everything passed inspection with no snags. Will be calling them again for future work.

We had an urgent job after another contractor let us down. Dan stepped in, scheduled us quickly and delivered top-quality trenching and base prep.
They really saved us from delays and the results were better than we’d hoped for.

Drainage had always been an issue on our site. They came in, redesigned it all, and installed a proper foul and surface system.
Not a single issue since. They even checked back a week later to make sure it had settled properly.

We had a full rear plot cleared and foundations dug for a wraparound extension. The ground wasn’t easy to work with, but DAB made it look simple.
They showed up early every day, stuck to the schedule and communicated well throughout. The work was solid, everything passed building control with no queries, and the builders who followed commented on how accurate and well-prepped the site was. Fantastic experience, start to finish.

They laid the sub-base for our tarmac drive. Compacted properly and level across the whole area.
It’s held up brilliantly since.
