Frequently Asked Questions

What's included in a groundworker's daily rate?

A typical daily rate (£400-£1,200) covers the groundworker's labour, plant operation, and basic site management. Materials, waste removal, and specialist equipment hire are usually quoted separately. Always clarify what's included in your quote.

Why do excavation costs vary so much per cubic metre?

Soil type, depth, compaction requirements, and disposal method affect price. Clay and contaminated soil cost more to excavate and dispose of than clean sandy soil. Difficult access and underground obstacles also increase costs.

How much does a concrete foundation cost for a small extension?

For a 20m² foundation, expect £2,400-£4,000 including excavation, shuttering, concrete, and labour. Costs rise if deep foundations or soil remediation are needed. Ground surveys before quoting are advisable for peace of mind.

Are there different rates for residential and commercial work?

Commercial groundwork in Tewkesbury typically costs more due to stricter safety standards, insurance requirements, and larger project scales. Residential work is generally cheaper but may require specialist survey work for building regulations compliance.
