Groundworks Contractor in Maidstone
Groundworks is the part of a job that doesn't show once it's finished — but it's the part that determines whether everything built on top of it lasts. Connerty Construction carries out excavation, sub-base preparation, drainage and site clearance across Maidstone, working directly for homeowners as well as alongside contractors and developers on larger projects.
We run our own excavation equipment, including a tracked mini digger, so we're not waiting on hired plant to keep a job moving. That covers everything from digging out for a new driveway or patio, through to clearing and levelling a plot ahead of other trades coming in.
Drainage is handled as part of the groundworks stage wherever it's needed — trenching, pipe laying and connecting into existing systems or soakaways — rather than as an afterthought once the surface is already down.
For commercial and developer clients, we work to agreed programmes and keep site disruption to a minimum, with clear communication on progress and any issues that come up underground before they become a bigger problem.
