About Foundation Groundworks

With over 40 years’ experience in the construction industry, Foundation Groundworks is a well-established business operating around 40 miles from Guildford. We are committed to the high levels of quality, reliability and value-for-money.

We are skilled in all aspects of groundwork from site preparation to designing and installing reinforced foundations to laying floor slabs and drainage.

Our customers range from private home-owners to small sized builders. The maximum size site we will work on at any one time is 4 new builds and that is if we know the builder. We regularly work with small builders who are project managing and home owners managing there own builds.

Why do customers choose us? We are perfectionists. We thoroughly research a job before starting work, thus avoiding costly problems later. We use good quality materials. We keep customers updated throughout the project. We have exacting standards. We complete jobs on time, on budget and to specification. And we’re tidy.

We have a small full-time workforce of skilled plant operators and labourers, many of whom have been with us for over 10 years. When necessary, we can call on a small group of tried-and-tested sub-contractors who all work to our exacting standards.

OUR SERVICES

Foundations

We can lay three different types of foundations, depending upon ground conditions and architects’ requirements. 1. Standard ‘strip foundations’, with concrete filled trenches 2. ‘reinforced foundations’ incorporate steel mesh into the concrete. 3 ‘raft foundations’ that allow for sub-soil movement.

Floor Slabs

We offer three different types of floor slabs, depending upon architects’ requirements and ground conditions. All floors are finished off with either a bull float, hand float or power float which gives a tough finish to prevent cracking.

Domestic Utilities

Foundation Groundworks can do the preparatory excavation and ducting work for all the domestic utilities of gas, electricity, water and BT cabling within a site’s boundaries. We are also specialists in the water industry and are WIAPS and TAPS 5 approved so we can sign off ready for mains connection speeding up time for connections.

Testimonials

It was a pleasure dealing with Dave and Gary. They were prompt, courteous, knowledgeable and very competitively priced. They kept me informed at all steps of the process and found solutions to any hurdles that were encountered during what was a fairly difficult job.

Great company to work with Gary and David went above and beyond to make sure the job was completed on time to so the gas could be connected without additional costs for not being ready. They trenched in all utilities at the end of Jan 19 through the snow storm (we did'nt expect them to turn up on the Friday let alone at 7.30 and leave at 6 when they managed to finish!) Highly recommended.

Dave and his team were highly professional and helpful with sorting out our leaking pipe and replacing it with a new one. They were speedy, knowledgable and great to work with. I would reccomend them to anyone!

We use Foundation Groundworks for all of our groundwork. Would'nt use another company they are reliable, knowledgeable and price reflects quality of work which for us is good value for money.
