Groundworks Guildford & Godalming | Excavation & Foundations
Every good build starts below ground. Guildford & Godalming Construction Limited provides professional groundworks, including excavation, foundations, drainage and site preparation, for extensions, renovations and new builds.
With over 30 years of experience, our team prepares a strong, level and well-drained base so the rest of your project can proceed with confidence.
Expert Groundworks Throughout Guildford, Godalming & Surrounding Areas
We deliver groundworks across Guildford, Godalming, Farnham, Haslemere, Cranleigh and throughout Surrey, Hampshire and South West London.
From a single-storey extension to a full site clearance, we plan and carry out groundworks carefully, coordinating with your designer and building control.
Excavation & Site Clearance
Careful digging and clearing to the levels required, with spoil removal and safe access managed throughout.
Foundations
Trench and strip foundations poured to the depth and specification your project requires, ready for inspection.
Drainage & Services
Below-ground drainage, soakaways and service runs installed and connected correctly before the build continues.
Groundworks Planned Around Your Site
Ground conditions, access and neighbouring properties all affect how groundworks should be carried out. We assess each site before starting.
We work to your approved drawings and coordinate with structural engineers and building control so inspections happen at the right stage.
Extensions & Existing Properties
Working beside an existing building takes care. We excavate and pour foundations safely around walls, drains and services, keeping disruption low.
Larger & Open Sites
For larger plots and new builds, we use suitable machinery to excavate efficiently, prepare bases and lay the groundwork for the whole structure.
Our Groundworks Process
Our structured approach keeps projects progressing smoothly and on schedule. The process includes:
Site Assessment
We survey access, ground conditions and services, and agree the groundworks scope.
Setting Out & Excavation
Accurate setting out followed by excavation to the required depths.
Foundations & Drainage
Concrete foundations poured and drainage installed, ready for building control inspection.
Backfill & Handover
Backfilling, levelling and handing the prepared site over to the next stage of the build.
