Working in Rugeley
Rugeley sits in the Trent Valley on the edge of Cannock Chase, and it is home to our yard at Kimberley Business Park. The town mixes Victorian and Edwardian terraces close to the centre, inter-war and post-war semis around Etching Hill, Pear Tree and Brereton, and the large new neighbourhood rising on the former power station land.
Around Rugeley the ground varies from sands and gravels in the Trent Valley to heavier clays, so foundation depth and drainage design need checking plot by plot. Rugeley's position on the Trent floodplain means ground conditions and drainage need checking carefully, particularly on lower-lying plots near the river and canal.
Rugeley (WS15) falls under Cannock Chase District Council for planning and Staffordshire County Council for highways matters such as scaffold licences and dropped kerbs. Our yard at Kimberley Business Park is right here in town.
How we work
Because the group also runs roofing, scaffolding and building companies, we understand how groundworks feed into the rest of a build. Getting levels, drainage runs and service ducts right first time saves real money later.
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.

Groundworks in Rugeley: common questions
Are there local ground or drainage considerations in Rugeley?
Rugeley's position on the Trent floodplain means ground conditions and drainage need checking carefully, particularly on lower-lying plots near the river and canal. We check the site and any available records before we price the work.
Do you work on house extensions in Rugeley?
Yes. We dig and pour extension foundations, lay drainage, form the oversite slab and can carry on with brickwork through Staff4dshire Properties.
Who checks the foundations?
Building control (the council or an approved inspector) inspects foundation excavations before concrete is poured. We arrange the inspection as part of the programme.
Do I need planning permission for groundworks?
Groundworks are part of the overall project, so it depends on what you are building. Check with Cannock Chase District Council or ask us and we will point you in the right direction.
Which areas near Rugeley do you cover?
We cover Rugeley, Brereton, Etching Hill, Slitting Mill, Colton and Handsacre, and the wider Staffordshire and West Midlands area.
