Groundwork & Foundations- 2 Jul 2015
I wanted a small section concrete base in the garden for a mini office shed. I hired Leigh (Elite Property Maintenance) based on the review given on mybuilder.com. Leigh and his co-worker arrived early at 8am and completed the work at noon. Although I was not at home, but I had a live camera to monitor the progress from my workplace. Cons 1: Leigh said he had built a 6 inch thick concrete and put bags load of turf from the excavation into his van. When I came home, I found a significant amount of turf spread onto another part of my garden where I was growing vegetables using premium soil. I wish there was some communication from him before he took such action. Cons 2: I used a structural engineer to inspect the amount and quality of concrete laid using ultrasound technique to certify that it is capable of supporting the shed loading. To my disappointment, the thickness in some parts were much less than 6 inches. The excavation was insufficient and in some parts were well under 6 inches deep. Therefore the structural engineer confirmed that the concrete will fail to support the shed load in some section. I am disappointed in their lack of professionalism. Cons 3: The concrete surface lacked a good quality finish. There were chips on the surface. Pros 1: Leigh was able to provide a quote very quickly and was able to start the job within 2 days. Pros 2: Arriving early and good manner.

Nathan worked on our garden, landscaping, installing a fence and laying a patio. Nathan was always professional, kept us well informed on the project and gave us a great well structured quote for the work. He would always arrive on time and worked extremely hard whilst on site. He gave great advice whenever a problem arose (I changed my mind on where to pave up to!) since the project was completed we’ve been really happy with the finish. Would recommend Nathan for future projects.

Here are some key questions you could ask:

How do you ensure safety and compliance with local Kent regulations on site?

FAQ: Common questions about Kent groundwork services

What types of groundwork services are typically offered in Kent?

Groundworkers in Kent usually provide site clearance, soil testing, excavation, drainage system installation, groundwork for foundations, and surface leveling. Depending on your project’s size and nature, these services can be tailored to fit residential, commercial, or infrastructure needs.

How long does groundwork usually take for a project in Kent?

The duration depends on factors such as site size, soil conditions, and project complexity. Small residential groundwork might take a few days to a couple of weeks, while larger commercial sites can require several weeks or months, accounting for weather and site accessibility.

Are groundworkers familiar with environmental or planning regulations specific to Kent?

Professional groundworkers working regularly in Kent keep up to date with local rules, including restrictions related to conservation areas, protected land, or listed buildings, ensuring that groundwork complies with all necessary regulations.

What insurance should a groundwork contractor have?

Groundwork contractors should have public liability insurance to protect against accidental damage or injury on site. If the business employs staff or takes on larger projects, they may also hold employer liability and contract works insurance. Always ask to see proof of insurance before work begins to ensure you’re fully covered.

Can groundworkers work during bad weather?

Light rain usually won’t stop most groundwork, but heavy rain, snow, or freezing conditions can cause delays. Tasks like laying concrete, installing drainage, or site levelling rely on stable ground and dry conditions. If the weather makes the site unsafe or unsuitable, your contractor will likely pause work and reschedule for better conditions.
