Laying the Right Foundations – Every Time

At Ellis Building & Groundworks Ltd, we know that good groundwork is the foundation of any successful build. Whether you’re starting a new extension, installing a driveway, or preparing for a garden structure, our groundwork services ensure your project begins with a stable, properly prepared base.

From small domestic works to light commercial preparation, we approach each job with precision, care, and a strong understanding of what’s needed – both above and below the surface.

Our groundwork services include:

• Site clearance & preparation – removing vegetation, debris, and old structures to prepare your site safely and efficiently
• Excavation – accurate digging for foundations, footings, drainage and service trenches
• Foundations & footings – poured to spec and fully compliant with building control
• Drainage installation – including soakaways, surface water management, and foul drainage solutions
• Sub-base preparation – for patios, driveways, sheds, or extensions
• Ducting and service trenches – cleanly installed with future access and functionality in mind

We work to plans where provided or help you assess what’s needed for your project. Our team is happy to liaise with architects, engineers, or building inspectors on-site.
