Working in Uttoxeter
Uttoxeter is a market town on the A50 near the Derbyshire border, best known for its racecourse. It has a compact Georgian and Victorian centre and substantial modern housing to the south and west of town.
Around Uttoxeter we work on both town-centre infill sites and greenfield plots on the edge of town, each with very different access and spoil challenges. With the River Dove to the east and plenty of new housing, drainage design and foundation depth vary noticeably across Uttoxeter.
For Uttoxeter (ST14), 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 through Abbots Bromley on the B5013, about thirteen miles away.
How we work
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.
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.

Groundworks in Uttoxeter: common questions
Are there local ground or drainage considerations in Uttoxeter?
With the River Dove to the east and plenty of new housing, drainage design and foundation depth vary noticeably across Uttoxeter. We check the site and any available records before we price the work.
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.
What do groundworks include?
Typically site clearance, excavation, muck away, foundations, concrete slabs, drainage and service trenches, and sometimes external works like paving and kerbs.
Who checks the foundations?
Building control (the council or an approved inspector) inspects foundation excavations before concrete is poured. We arrange the inspection as part of the programme.
Which areas near Uttoxeter do you cover?
We cover Uttoxeter, Rocester, Bramshall, Doveridge, Marchington and Kingstone, and the wider Staffordshire and West Midlands area.
