Are groundworkers required to have insurance?

Groundworkers are not legally required to have insurance, but it’s highly recommended. Most groundworkers near you will hold public liability insurance to protect against damage to property or injury caused during the job. Always ask for proof of insurance before hiring.

Do groundworkers offer guarantees on their work?

Yes, many groundworkers near you will provide a guarantee on their work. This typically lasts from a few months to several years, depending on the project. Make sure you understand what’s covered, such as defects or issues due to poor workmanship.

What should I ask a groundworker before hiring them?

Before hiring a groundworker near you, ask about their insurance, previous projects, and approach to site preparation. Discuss timelines, costs, and payment terms, and request references or examples of similar work.

How much deposit should I pay a groundworker?

It’s normal to pay around **10% to 20%** of the total cost upfront, but always agree on this in writing before work begins. Avoid paying large deposits and ensure there’s a clear contract outlining expectations.

How can I check if a groundworker near me is a good fit?

Start by reviewing their MyBuilder profile, where you can see photos of past jobs, customer feedback, and business details. It’s also worth meeting them in person to discuss the project and see how they plan to approach your site.

Excellent Job done by Howard. He had equipment issues at the start but came back the following day and completed the job perfectly. We had 2 ducts provided for electric cable and oil pipes done within a few hours and was completed ready for other contractors to complete the main jobs. Would recommend Howard and considering offering more drainage work to him in the near future.

Fencing- 14 Dec 2020
Absolutely brilliant. The weather was atrocious, but they kept on going and even the ivy and its roots didn’t phase them. The fencing and gate they put up are first rate. We would definitely use Boom construction again and can’t recommend it highly enough for the superb work they carried out. Excellent value for money and lovely polite young men .

Giles and his colleague Dan were an absolute pleasure. Sadly as often happens, the job turned out to be hugely more complex than anticipated due to structural concerns. Despite this Giles was flexible and patient, with the final adjusted invoice remaining very reasonable.
