Very professional, very responsive, very nice and most importantly very high build quality. The team worked very well with other professionals, including our architect. We have since recommended them to others and we would use them again, anytime!" "I had the pleasure of working with Convert Construction Ltd on a side return extension, renovation and extension of our kitchen, three bathrooms, attic, basement and overall refurbishment of the property. I can recommend the CCL team highly and without reservation. Throughout the course of the building works, they made every effort to execute each task with care and precision. The team worked extremely hard at each stage of the renovations and made an effort to leave the house as clean as possible, ensuring dust and mess were kept to an absolute minimum. They were hard-working, punctual and courteous. We found them to be a joy to work with, taking on board our requirements and preferences and making them happen, as well as keeping us updated on accounts and expenditure. The result is that we are delighted with the improvements that have been made to our home - Convert's attention to detail and finish is impeccable and the result is impressive. I wholeheartedly recommend Convert Construction Ltd." "My project involved the full renovation of a 4 bedroom Victorian ‘Lion House in a conservation area and included aloft conversion, side return, reconfiguration of the ground and first floors, new bathrooms, new kitchen, as well as completely redecorating the property. The quality of workmanship from start to finish were extremely high and I regularly receive comments to that effect from visitors to the house. Throughout the work, CCL were straightforward to deal with, tidy, considerate with my neighbours and offered numerous helpful design solutions along the way. In summary, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them for your building project. In fact, they are currently completing a project for a friend on my recommendation." "Marek, Pawel and their team have done an amazing job at my place. We have done a side return extension of the ground floor, a loft conversion and an overall renovation of the house. Very pleased with the attention to details, the quality of the work, the speed of feedback and the overall service." "We have just completed a major house refurbishment using Convert which lasted 12 months, from start to finish the team we polite, resourceful, clean and highly skilled across multiple building disciplines - and they were incredibly patient with us as we regularly extended the project. Despite the several lockdowns the team performed above and beyond and Marek managed all of the many suppliers expertly. As a builder he is pragmatic and innovative in providing a range of solutions which work, leaving you to decide on what is best. At no time did I ever feel that I was paying too much, and I always felt that Marek put us and our budget first. I could not recommend this company more, we are delighted with their work and proud of our new home! You will never regret using them." "I have been doing many real estate refurbishment projects over the years. I am usually reserved with recommendations. I am very detailed and Germanic with regards to finishing quality and Convert Construction has clearly met my high standards / expectations in that regard. Marek and his team are truly outstanding professionals and incredibly courteous individuals across the team. I have since recommended Marek and his team to many of my friends and even colleagues which is always a "risk" when things go wrong. I have only received very positive feedback even when problems occurred because problems do inevitably occur during building works. They just deal with it. I would have no problem whatsoever recommending Marek and his team to anybody who wants to commission building works. Convert Construction will for sure not be the cheapest quote (not the most expensive either) you will receive but, like I have learned throughout the years doing refurbishments, "cheap" is expensive at the end and I therefore go from the beginning for quality and a fair price. That is what Convert Construction delivers and that is the feedback I have received from all my friends and colleagues who worked with them." "Convert Construction performed the extension and complete refurbishment of our property. They are extremely professional, honest and really easy to work with. I admire their attention to detail and the quality of their delivery. I highly recommend them, totally facilitate and ease stressful task that is to refurbish completely a property." "We commissioned Convert to do an extensive renovation and refurbishment of a flat in a mansion block, which had significant constraints in terms of building rules and regulations. It was important to work with an experienced building company, and Convert exceeded our expectations. They were highly professional, results oriented, and helpful. Marek has a good eye for interior design solutions and came up with many creative options that we happily adopted. Convert's workers are all professionals and work to a high standard. Convert delivered the project on time and on budget. Overall, we were very happy to have chosen Convert."

Frequently Asked Questions About Excavation Contractors

Find answers to common questions about excavation contractors and hiring excavation professionals in the UK.

How do you protect utilities during excavation?

Protecting buried utilities is paramount during excavation. Here are crucial steps:
  • Utility Locates: Contact your utility companies to mark the locations of underground lines before excavation begins. This is usually a free service.
  • Hand Digging: Excavate carefully by hand near marked utility lines to avoid damage.
  • Potholing: Digging small test holes to expose and verify utility depths and locations.
  • Safe Distances: Maintaining a safe distance between excavation equipment and marked utility lines.
  • Vacuum Excavation: Using vacuum excavation techniques to expose utilities without digging, reducing the risk of damage.
Reputable excavation contractors prioritize utility protection and adhere to safety guidelines to prevent costly and potentially dangerous accidents.

What is a soil engineer, and do I need one?

A soil engineer is a professional specializing in analyzing soil properties and their behavior under various conditions. They play a crucial role in:
  • Determining Soil Suitability: Assessing whether the soil can support the intended structure or load.
  • Recommending Foundation Types: Advising on the appropriate foundation design based on soil characteristics.
  • Addressing Drainage and Erosion Issues: Providing solutions to manage water runoff and prevent erosion.
  • Evaluating Slope Stability: Assessing the risk of landslides or soil movement on slopes.
You might need a soil engineer for projects involving:
  • Building on challenging soil types (expansive clay, loose sand, etc.)
  • Constructing large or complex structures
  • Excavating near slopes or retaining walls
  • Addressing drainage or erosion concerns
Your excavation contractor or local building department can advise if a soil engineer is necessary for your project.

What equipment is used for excavation?

Excavation projects employ various heavy equipment, chosen based on the job's scale and complexity. Common equipment includes:
  • Excavators: Versatile machines with a bucket, arm, and rotating cab for digging, lifting, and moving earth.
  • Backhoes: Similar to excavators but with a digging bucket on the back and a loader bucket on the front, ideal for trenching and smaller excavations.
  • Bulldozers: Powerful machines with a large blade for pushing earth, clearing land, and leveling surfaces.
  • Skid Steers: Compact and maneuverable loaders with various attachments (buckets, forks) for digging, loading, and grading in tight spaces.
  • Trenchers: Specialized machines for digging narrow trenches for utilities.
  • Dump Trucks: Vehicles for hauling excavated material to disposal sites.
The choice of equipment depends on factors such as the type of excavation, soil conditions, site accessibility, and project budget.

How do I calculate how much dirt I need for fill?

To calculate the volume of dirt (fill) needed, follow these steps:
  1. Determine the Area: Measure the length and width of the area you want to fill. Multiply them to get the area in square feet (or meters).
  2. Determine the Depth: Measure the difference between the existing grade and the desired grade (how much you need to raise the ground). This is the depth of fill required.
  3. Calculate Volume: Multiply the area (step 1) by the depth (step 2) to get the volume in cubic feet (or meters).
  4. Account for Compaction: Fill dirt compacts when it settles, so add 10% to 25% to the calculated volume to account for compaction. The exact percentage depends on the type of fill material.
For complex projects or uneven terrain, consult an excavation contractor or surveyor for accurate volume calculations.
