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 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 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.

Tight access at the back of our house meant they had to hand dig some areas. No complaints from them.
They worked hard, did a neat job and left no mess behind.

Full ground prep, including kerbs and slab base for a double garage. They coordinated with the builders, worked fast, and the finish was excellent.
Can’t fault the attitude or workmanship. Left the whole area clean, level and completely ready to build on.

Had concrete pads installed for multiple sheds. Each one was level, cleanly finished and done quickly.
They were polite, well organised and explained everything clearly. Great team to deal with and the work was top quality throughout.

We needed groundwork for a large garden room, including clearance, trenching and ducting for electrics and water. The lads were respectful, thorough and incredibly neat with their work.
They laid everything according to the plans, dealt with a few surprises under the ground, and stayed calm and professional the whole way through. Our contractor was impressed with how accurate and tidy the finish was. Wouldn't hesitate to bring them back in for future work.

We needed concrete footings, surface drainage and ducting for a new outbuilding. They coordinated each step without delay and left the site completely level and clean.
Materials were managed properly, and their timing was spot on. Would absolutely use again.

We needed soakaways and pipework added to stop flooding. These guys sorted it with no drama and it’s been perfect since.

Our entire plot needed levelling before a big extension and garden overhaul. DAB turned up with the right machines, mapped out the job with accuracy, and delivered a perfectly level site ready for further works.
Their team also installed new drains and a concrete base for our outdoor area. We couldn’t believe how quickly and cleanly they worked. Communication was spot on, prices were fair, and the end result exceeded expectations. They genuinely care about doing things right.

Old ground removed, levelled and drainage added. The site is now perfect for our build.

For our new build project, the DAB team managed all the groundwork — trenching, ducting, footings, and drainage. They had their own machinery and knew exactly what they were doing.
They were professional, kept the site safe and tidy, and worked alongside our structural engineer to make sure everything was perfect. The whole process was smooth, efficient and delivered exactly as promised. It’s not often a groundwork crew impresses me this much.

We had multiple trades waiting, so timing was critical. Dan and the team worked around everyone and still managed to finish the foundations early.
They cleaned up everything and left the area looking better than when they arrived.

Site clearance, footings and drainage all completed within four days. That included machine work, concrete pour and hand finishing.
They didn’t stop once and were a genuinely nice team to deal with. No delays, no mess, just high-quality work.

We were adding an extension to the rear of our house and needed full groundwork support — foundations, ducting, and drainage. The lads were friendly and highly organised, working efficiently and always keeping us informed.
They took care of everything, including disposing of spoil and cleaning up afterwards. Everything was ready for the builders within days. Honestly, one of the best experiences I’ve had with any trade. I’ve already recommended them to two neighbours.
