Groundworks in Tadworth
We are specialists in the difficult ground conditions of the North Downs. Serving Tadworth, Walton on the Hill, and Kingswood with heavy-duty excavation and drainage solutions.
High Ground Engineering
Tadworth sits high on the Downs, which means different challenges to the valleys. We operate the heavy breakers required for flint-heavy soil and the deep drilling rigs needed for effective drainage in KT20.
Clay-with-Flints
The geology of Tadworth is notoriously tough. While it sits on Chalk, the surface is often capped with a thick layer of Clay-with-Flints. This mixture is incredibly hard to excavate and can damage standard lightweight machinery.
We own 14-tonne excavators equipped with rock breakers and hardened buckets specifically for these conditions. We don't hire in—we bring the right kit from day one to ensure your foundations are dug without delay.
Shallow soakaways often fail in the clay cap. We drill 5-10 meters down to reach the pure, permeable chalk underneath, ensuring rapid drainage even during storms.
Our fleet includes peckers (hydraulic breakers) to handle large flint nodules found in Walton on the Hill and Tadworth, preventing project stalls.
Residential Avenues
Working in Tadworth often means navigating established residential avenues and private roads (like those in Kingswood or near the Heath). We prioritize site cleanliness and traffic management to keep neighbors happy.
Verge Protection
We use heavy-duty road plates and track mats to protect grass verges and driveways from heavy plant machinery movement.
Muck Away
Because flinty clay cannot be easily spread on site (it doesn't drain), we run efficient grab-lorry muck away services to keep your site clear.
Service Connections
We handle Section 50 road opening licenses for sewer and utility connections on the busy A217 and surrounding residential streets.
