Frequently Asked Questions

What is included in a typical groundwork quote?

A comprehensive groundwork quote should include site survey, excavation labour, machinery hire (digger/dumper), soil testing if required, waste disposal, reinstatement, and any temporary fencing or health & safety measures. Always clarify what's included before committing.

How long does foundation work typically take?

Foundation trenching for an average property in Attleborough usually takes 2–4 days, depending on soil type and property size. Drainage installation may take 3–5 days. Weather and unforeseen ground conditions can extend timescales.

Do I need planning permission for groundworks?

Most groundworks for house extensions or new builds require building regulations approval but not planning permission. However, major earthworks, retaining walls over 1m, or works near boundaries may need planning consent. Your groundworker or local council can advise.

Are there extra costs for difficult ground conditions?

Yes. Clay, contamination, high water tables, or rock require specialist treatment and cost more. A site survey (£150–£300) can identify ground conditions early and help avoid expensive surprises mid-project.
