Telford was developed as a new town from the 1960s, joining older settlements such as Wellington, Oakengates, Madeley and Dawley, so it combines Victorian terraces and cottages with large modern estates and business parks. The Ironbridge Gorge World Heritage Site sits on its southern edge.
In Telford 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. Telford's history of mining and industry means ground investigations are especially worthwhile, and the Ironbridge Gorge has well-known slope stability issues.
In Telford (TF1 to TF7), Telford & Wrekin 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 about thirty miles west via the M6 and M54.
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.
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.

📍 Martin, Coalbrookdale
On a sloping garden in Coalbrookdale, we built sleeper retaining walls with land drainage behind them, laid Indian sandstone patios and a relaid path, and put in sleeper steps with a handrail. We installed ACO channel drainage and a soakaway so the garden drains properly, then finished with a glass balustrade. We also carried out extra roofing work for Martin.
Telford's history of mining and industry means ground investigations are especially worthwhile, and the Ironbridge Gorge has well-known slope stability issues. We check the site and any available records before we price the work.
Building control (the council or an approved inspector) inspects foundation excavations before concrete is poured. We arrange the inspection as part of the programme.
Groundworks are part of the overall project, so it depends on what you are building. Check with Telford & Wrekin Council or ask us and we will point you in the right direction.
Typically site clearance, excavation, muck away, foundations, concrete slabs, drainage and service trenches, and sometimes external works like paving and kerbs.
We cover Telford, Wellington, Oakengates, Madeley, Dawley and Ironbridge, and the wider Staffordshire and West Midlands area.
