Hiring a groundworker

Browsing is free, and MyBromley takes no commission from the work you book. You deal with each business directly.

What to check before hiring a groundworker

Whoever you choose, these are the questions worth asking first.

Soil and trees

On clay soils near trees, foundations may need to be deeper. Your engineer or building control will advise.

Building control inspections

Foundation trenches must be inspected before concrete is poured.

Buried services

Ask how they will locate cables and pipes before digging.

Spoil removal

Check the price includes removing excavated soil.
