Groundwork Contractors in Stowmarket, Suffolk
Doughty Construction Ltd carries out groundwork as part of its full construction service across Suffolk. Stowmarket is the central Suffolk market town on the River Gipping and the A14 corridor, with a significant stock of Victorian red-brick terraced houses in the town centre and large residential development on the northern and western fringes. Stowmarket's position at the heart of mid-Suffolk makes it a natural centre for brickwork contracts covering the surrounding villages and rural parishes of central Suffolk. 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.
Groundwork in Stowmarket
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.

- Strip and trench foundation excavation and formation
