Groundworks decide whether everything above them is straight, dry and stable. C&J Construction & Roofing LTD carries out foundations, footings, drainage and site preparation across West Yorkshire, for our own extension and new build projects and as a standalone package for other contractors.
Nobody ever sees the groundworks once the job is finished, which is exactly why they are the first thing cut on a cheap quote. Undersized footings, drainage laid to the wrong fall and no thought given to the water table cause problems that surface years later and cost far more to put right.
What we carry out:
- Site clearance, muck away and reduced level dig
- Trench fill and strip foundations to engineer specification
- Oversite preparation, hardcore, membrane and concrete slabs
- Foul and surface water drainage runs
- Inspection chambers, gullies and connections to the main sewer
- Soakaways and attenuation where surface water cannot be discharged
- Retaining structures and level changes
- Service ducting for electricity, water and telecoms
Everything is set out from the drawings, dug to the depths building control require, and inspected before it is covered.
