Proudly Servicing The North East – Domestic & Commercial
Every successful build, extension or driveway starts with good groundwork. Groundworks & Road Contractors provides reliable groundworks for homeowners, builders, developers and commercial clients across the North East and North Yorkshire, with over 25 years’ experience getting the foundations of each project right.
We carry out a free site survey on every job and give you a clear, fixed quote before any work begins.
The groundwork is the part of any project you can’t see once it’s finished, which is exactly why it’s so often rushed. Poorly compacted sub-bases lead to sinking. Inadequate drainage leads to standing water and frost damage. Incorrect levels cause problems for every trade that follows.
We take the time to get levels, compaction and drainage right from the start. It saves you money, avoids remedial work and gives whatever goes on top the best possible chance of lasting.
If you’re planning an extension, a new driveway, a garden room or a landscaping project, we can prepare the ground ready for the next stage. We’ll assess the site, explain what’s needed and work around your home with minimal disruption.
We provide dependable groundworks support for builders, developers and main contractors, from single plots to larger site preparation. We work to your drawings and specification, keep to programme and communicate clearly with your site team. See our Commercial & Contract Work page for more.
