Groundwork Contractors in Stalham, Norfolk

Doughty Construction Ltd carries out groundwork as part of its full construction service across Norfolk. Stalham is a small North Norfolk market town at the northern end of the Broads, with a high street of Victorian and Edwardian red-brick buildings and a surrounding rural hinterland of scattered farmsteads. The town has grown with residential development in recent decades, and repointing and brick refurbishment on the older commercial brick stock on the high street is a recurring type of work in this area. We excavate to the engineer's specification, form the foundations correctly, and prepare the oversite so that the blockwork and brickwork above has the stable, true base it needs — getting groundwork right is the most important investment you can make in a new build or extension.

What's involved

Groundwork in Stalham

Good groundwork is the foundation — literally — of a sound build. We excavate to the engineer's specified depth and bearing, form the shuttering, pour and level the concrete, and prepare the oversite so that the blockwork team can start from a true, stable base. In East Anglia, soil conditions vary considerably between sandy Breckland, clay-heavy river valleys and coastal ground — our experience across Suffolk and Norfolk means we understand how the ground behaves in each area.
