Lichfield is a cathedral city with a large conservation area of Georgian and older brick buildings around the Close, Bore Street and Dam Street. Around that core are 20th-century estates such as Boley Park, Leomansley and Curborough, and big new developments at Streethay and on the southern edge of the city.
On infill plots in Lichfield, access is often tight and neighbours are close, so we plan smaller plant, careful muck away and protection for existing walls. New housing at Streethay and on the south side of Lichfield has brought a lot of drainage, driveway and extension work, often on clay ground that needs proper foundations and soakaway testing.
For Lichfield (WS13 and WS14), planning applications are handled by Lichfield 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 about nine miles down the A51 from our Rugeley yard.
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.

📍 Rob, Lichfield
We turned Rob's garden in Lichfield into a complete outdoor living space, with sandstone paving, decorative gravel on a stabilisation grid, raised sleeper beds and a new 8x4 shed on a concrete base. The centrepiece is a semi-sunken block-and-brick firepit area under a hardwood pergola. We also fitted a new 7.3m canopy, a hardwood gate and new fencing, and kept the Red Robin and roses Rob wanted to save.
📍 Becky, Lichfield
We restored Becky's paving in Lichfield. We cleaned and re-grouted around 60m² of patio, plus the pathway, the steps and the coping tiles, so the whole garden looks fresh again.
New housing at Streethay and on the south side of Lichfield has brought a lot of drainage, driveway and extension work, often on clay ground that needs proper foundations and soakaway testing. We check the site and any available records before we price the work.
Groundworks are part of the overall project, so it depends on what you are building. Check with Lichfield District Council or ask us and we will point you in the right direction.
Yes. We dig and pour extension foundations, lay drainage, form the oversite slab and can carry on with brickwork through Staff4dshire Properties.
Typically site clearance, excavation, muck away, foundations, concrete slabs, drainage and service trenches, and sometimes external works like paving and kerbs.
We cover Lichfield, Whittington, Shenstone, Fradley, Alrewas and Streethay, and the wider Staffordshire and West Midlands area.
