Working in Hednesford
Hednesford sits between Cannock and the Chase, with former colliery terraces near the centre, post-war estates at Pye Green and Rawnsley, and a good deal of newer housing on the edges of town, all within sight of Hednesford Hills.
In Hednesford a lot of our groundwork is for extensions, garages and new homes on former garden or garage-block land, where access for plant and spoil removal needs planning. As in Cannock, the area's coal-mining past can affect some plots, and the sloping ground towards the Chase often calls for retaining walls and careful drainage falls.
For Hednesford (WS12), planning applications are handled by Cannock Chase District 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 only around six miles from our yard over the Chase.
How we work
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.
We start with the drawings, the site investigation (if there is one) and a walk round the site to look at access, levels, spoil volumes and existing services. That lets us plan the dig, the muck away and the concrete pours in the right order and give you a clear programme.

Groundworks in Hednesford: common questions
Are there local ground or drainage considerations in Hednesford?
As in Cannock, the area's coal-mining past can affect some plots, and the sloping ground towards the Chase often calls for retaining walls and careful drainage falls. We check the site and any available records before we price the work.

Yes. We dig and pour extension foundations, lay drainage, form the oversite slab and can carry on with brickwork through Staff4dshire Properties.
Do you install utility connections?
We dig the trenches and lay ducting for new electric, water and gas supplies and work alongside the network operators. We are currently working towards NERS, WIRS and GIRS accreditation.

Yes. Plant comes from Staff4dshire Plant Hire, our sister company, with NPORS-qualified operators.
