Finishing & Specialist
Core coverage
Commercial groundworks and civils packages across London and the South East.
All areas we coverSubstructure packages across Kent, from Dartford and the north corridor down to Maidstone and Sevenoaks.
The north Kent corridor is a regular run for us, and Sevenoaks and Maidstone are well inside a working morning. A lot of our Kent work is commercial and industrial development along the A2 and M20.
Travel is priced into the job honestly, and the crew that priced it is the crew that arrives.
One discipline or the whole substructure — the scope does not change with the postcode.

See all servicesThe same sequence on every Kent job, so you always know what happens next and who owns it.
Send the plans, the scope and the dates you need to hit. You get an honest answer on whether it suits us.
We walk it and check access, levels, ground conditions and services. Most surprises get found here rather than mid-dig.
A priced package with the build order set out and a start date we are willing to commit to.
Our own crews, plant and supervision, with one point of contact reporting as the works progress.
Inspected, signed off and cleared, ready for the follow-on trades to start on programme.
North Kent is chalk with pockets of made ground from its industrial history, which can mean obstructions, old foundations and the occasional surprise in the dig. The Weald further south is clay and greensand, which behaves very differently in wet weather.
Where there is made ground there is usually a contamination question too, and that changes how arisings can be handled and what it costs to take them away.
A look at substructure work across the county.
Same crews, same plant, same scope — different postcode.
Site somewhere else? Send the postcode with your drawings and we will tell you straight away.
All areas we coverIf yours is not here, ring the office — it is usually a two-minute answer.
The north corridor and the Sevenoaks and Maidstone belt are our regular patch. Further into east Kent we will still price it, and we will tell you honestly if travel makes us the wrong choice.
On former industrial sites we allow for it. Where something turns up that could not reasonably have been foreseen, we stop, tell you the same day and price the change before carrying on.
Yes. Classification and the disposal route are agreed before the dig starts, because it changes both the method and the cost of taking material off site.
Yes. Highway works follow the authority’s specification and inspection regime, with permits and traffic management arranged by us.
Yes, and it is usually the cheaper way to run it. One contract across clearance, dig, foundations, drainage and external works.
We will walk it, measure it up, and come back with a price and a start date we can hold.
