Working in Tamworth
Tamworth has its Norman castle and historic centre, but most homes date from the town's post-war expansion, with large estates at Glascote, Wilnecote, Amington and Belgrave, and newer development around the edges of town near the A5 and M42.
In Tamworth a lot of our groundwork is for extensions, garages and new homes on former garden or garage-block land, where access for plant and spoil removal needs planning. Tamworth sits where the Tame and Anker rivers meet, so drainage design and flood-aware levels matter on some sites.
For Tamworth (B77, B78 and B79), planning applications are handled by Tamworth Borough Council, and highways matters such as scaffold licences, skips on the road and dropped kerbs by Staffordshire County Council. Our yard at Kimberley Business Park is about seventeen miles away through Lichfield.
How we work
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.

Groundworks in Tamworth: common questions
Are there local ground or drainage considerations in Tamworth?
Tamworth sits where the Tame and Anker rivers meet, so drainage design and flood-aware levels matter on some sites. We check the site and any available records before we price the work.
Do you install utility connections?
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.
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 Tamworth Borough Council or ask us and we will point you in the right direction.
Which areas near Tamworth do you cover?
We cover Tamworth, Fazeley, Wilnecote, Amington, Hopwas and Kingsbury, and the wider Staffordshire and West Midlands area.
