Excavation, drainage and treatment plants
We carry out excavation work, lay foul and storm water drainage, and install small treatment plants. We see the job through — from digging and laying to backfilling and restoring the surface above it.
What it covers
Work below the surface
What lies underground is the hardest thing to fix later. That is why we do this work in one go and finish it so that the surface above is tidy again.
Excavation work
Digging for foundations, connections, trenches and landscaping — to the agreed extent and depth.
Foul water drainage
Laying foul water drainage with correct falls and connections, to the public network or to a treatment plant.
Storm water drainage
Taking rainwater away from roofs and paved surfaces — separate from foul water, to where it does no harm.
Treatment plants
Installing small wastewater treatment plants, including the excavation, bedding and connection of inlet and outlet.
Our approach
We do not leave a building site behind
Finished, not abandoned
We backfill the trench, level the ground and restore the surface. Lawns and paving we can take on ourselves — that is our line of work anyway.
Two separate systems
We keep foul and storm water separate, as they must be — not together in one trench and not one into the other.
Agreed in advance
We agree the scope, access and timing before we start. If the ground throws up a surprise, we talk about it right away — not after the work is done.

FAQ
Excavation and drainage — questions
Do you look at the site first?
Yes. With excavation, access often matters more than the digging itself — we check how we get to the spot, what is in the ground and where the spoil goes. Only then do we prepare a quote.
Do you restore the surface after backfilling?
Do I need a permit for a treatment plant?
That depends on the location, the size and where the outlet runs — the rules are set by the municipality or the network operator. Tell us where the work is and we will go through what needs arranging in your case before we start.
When is the best time to dig?
We dig all year round, except when the ground is frozen or so waterlogged that getting to it would damage the surroundings. If time is short, we agree on the order of works.
