Working in Burton upon Trent

Burton upon Trent grew around brewing, so it has long streets of Victorian terraces, larger villas in areas such as Stapenhill, and expanding modern estates around Branston and Stretton, as well as a lot of industrial and commercial property.

In Burton upon Trent, groundworks often mean tight urban sites, existing services in the ground and traffic management for deliveries and muck away. Burton sits on the Trent and its floodplain, so ground conditions, drainage and levels need careful checking, particularly on lower-lying sites.

For Burton upon Trent (DE13, DE14 and DE15), planning applications are handled by East Staffordshire Borough Council, and highways matters such as scaffold licences, skips on the road and dropped kerbs by Staffordshire County Council. Our yard at Kimberley Business Park is around sixteen miles east of Rugeley via the A513 and A38.

How we work

Because the group also runs roofing, scaffolding and building companies, we understand how groundworks feed into the rest of a build. Getting levels, drainage runs and service ducts right first time saves real money later.

We work to the engineer's design and building control requirements, keep spoil and deliveries organised, and leave the site safe and tidy at the end of each day.
