Every building project starts below ground — and the quality of the groundwork determines the stability of everything built on top. Cheshire Bespoke Build carries out all groundwork in-house using our own experienced team. From excavation and foundations through to drainage, concrete slabs, and external hard standing, we approach every groundwork project with the same attention to engineering detail and quality control that runs through everything we build.
What’s included
- Excavation and foundation construction for extensions, garages, and new builds.
- Concrete slab and beam and block floor construction to building regulations.
- Drainage installation including foul, surface water, and soakaway systems.
- External hard standing in concrete, tarmac, or block paving.
- Garden levelling, ground preparation, and bulk excavation.
- Underpinning and foundation repair on existing structures.
Why choose us
- In-house, not subcontracted
- Groundwork is often the first thing to get subcontracted out by smaller builders. We keep it in-house because it’s too important to hand off — the whole project sits on top of it.
27 years below and above ground
- Our team has tackled every ground condition you’ll find across Cheshire — from solid sandstone to made ground. We know how to read a site and respond accordingly.
No deposit, transparent pricing
- Groundwork is priced clearly before any digging starts. We don’t ask for a deposit, and we keep you informed if any unexpected ground conditions affect the scope or cost.
FAQs
What happens if unexpected ground conditions are found?
We stop, assess, and talk to you before proceeding. If unexpected conditions affect the cost or method, we’ll explain clearly what’s been found and what the options are — no surprises.
Do you install drainage for extensions?
Yes — all drainage associated with our extension and building projects is handled by our in-house groundwork team, ensuring it’s designed and installed correctly from the outset.
Can you lay a new driveway as part of a project?
Yes — external hard standing, driveways, and access roads can be included as part of a broader project or carried out as standalone groundwork.
