Groundworks And Site Preparation in Stretford, Trafford

Before you can even think about laying bricks or paving, you've got to clear the decks. We don't just shift a bit of dirt; we handle the full site clearance, taking away old cracked patios, stubborn tree roots, and heaps of rubble. As licensed waste carriers, we'll sort the 'muck away' professionally, so you're not left with a mountain of spoil on your front lawn. Whether you're in Lostock or closer to the Stretford Mall area, we'll leave your site level, clean, and ready for the next stage of the build.

Planning a new kitchen extension or a garden room? The footings are the most critical part of the whole job. If the trenching isn't spot on, the building inspector won't be happy, and neither will your wallet later on. We specialise in digging precise foundations and setting up the oversite for concrete slabs. We've worked on countless properties across Stretford, ensuring every trench is dug to the right depth and width to support your new structure safely for decades to come.

We all know the Manchester weather can be a bit relentless. Without proper drainage runs, that heavy rain has nowhere to go but into your foundations or your neighbour's garden. We design and install drainage solutions that actually work, including soakaways and channel drains that meet SUDS (Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems) standards. It's not just about keeping your feet dry; it's about making sure your project follows Trafford council's planning rules to a tee, avoiding any nasty surprises during the approval process.

Have you ever noticed a block-paved driveway that's developed 'puddles' or dips over time? That's almost always due to poor sub-base compaction. We take the time to lay high-grade hardcore and compact it properly using the right kit. This creates a rock-solid foundation for whatever goes on top—whether it's a new tarmac driveway or a beautiful Indian sandstone patio. We don't believe in shortcuts because we know they only lead to expensive headaches down the road.
