Request a quoteAbout Staff4dshire Groundworks & UtilitiesGood groundworks are invisible once a build is finished, but everything above depends on them. In Birmingham, Erdington, Kingstanding, Great Barr, Castle Bromwich and Perry Barr, we handle site clearance, muck shifting, foundations, concrete, drainage and service trenches as one package.
Birmingham's housing ranges from Victorian and Edwardian terraces in areas like Erdington, Kings Heath and Moseley to inter-war semis, tower blocks and large commercial buildings. From Rugeley we reach the north of the city via the A38 and the M6 Toll.
In Birmingham, groundworks often mean tight urban sites, existing services in the ground and traffic management for deliveries and muck away. Birmingham jobs often involve tight urban access, existing services in the ground and shared drainage, so surveys come first.
In Birmingham (B postcodes), Birmingham City Council handles both planning applications and highways matters such as scaffold licences, skips on the road and dropped kerbs. Our yard at Kimberley Business Park is reached via the A38 and M6 Toll.
We work to the engineer's design and building control requirements, keep spoil and deliveries organised, and leave the site safe and tidy at the end of each day.
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.

📍 Tina, Erdington
We took up and relaid Tina's garden steps on a solid, level base and added a new handrail. We cleared overgrown bushes and roots, repaired brickwork the roots had damaged, and built a new 1.4m x 5.4m patio on a firm sub-base. The 14-item scope also covered work to the front drive.
📍 Tom, Birmingham (B14)
We took out the old shed and laid a new 5.45m x 2.85m porcelain patio, plus a 4.25m porcelain path. We relaid about 8m² of existing slabs, repaired the steps, re-laid the artificial grass with timber edging round the edge, and put up feather-edge fencing with a new gate.
Birmingham jobs often involve tight urban access, existing services in the ground and shared drainage, so surveys come first. We check the site and any available records before we price the work.
Groundworks are part of the overall project, so it depends on what you are building. Check with Birmingham City Council or ask us and we will point you in the right direction.
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.
Typically site clearance, excavation, muck away, foundations, concrete slabs, drainage and service trenches, and sometimes external works like paving and kerbs.
We cover Birmingham, Erdington, Kingstanding, Great Barr, Castle Bromwich and Perry Barr, and the wider Staffordshire and West Midlands area.
