    About Ross MacArthur Contractors Ross MacArthur Contractors is a building and general contracting business based near Dunoon, in Argyll, Scotland. We undertake a mixed portfolio of civil works in the public and private sectors, from individual clients seeking to build or improve their own property right up to large-scale organisations that require support for their construction projects. Our History Ross MacArthur set up in business in 2003 as a sole trader. He hired out plant and equipment and undertook small agricultural contracting jobs himself, all from his base at Blairmore Farm. The business grew steadily, as, through word of mouth, Ross built a reputation for quality contracting work and hassle-free plant-hire. He soon branched out into construction work and gradually assembled a team of skilled plant operators and manual labourers, able to tackle jobs as diverse as sea wall protection, cable and pipe laying, road repairs and emergency remedial work for the energy industry. Our Growth By 2013 the business had grown to such an extent that the decision was made to create a limited company, Ross MacArthur Contractors Limited, which is solely owned by Ross himself. A separate but associated company, Ross MacArthur Plant Hire Limited, was created at the same time. Our Services Ross MacArthur Contractor Ltd has a fleet of around 15 machines available for hire on a short- or medium/longer-term basis, capable of tackling a wide range of specialist and general contracting duties. These vehicles can be supplied with fully certified, skilled operators who are adept at working in the often difficult terrain and frequently challenging weather conditions, which are characteristic of the Argyll and Bute region. Our Commitment We pride ourselves on providing a friendly, professional, customer-focussed service. So if you’re looking for plant or machinery hire or help with a building or contracting job, we would love to hear from you. We are more than happy to answer any queries or to discuss your project.

Frequently Asked Questions About Excavation Contractors

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

Do I need a permit for excavation?

Permit requirements for excavation vary widely depending on your location and the project's specifics. Generally, permits are needed for:
  • Excavations Deeper Than a Certain Depth: This varies by jurisdiction, usually around 5 feet.
  • Excavations Near Utilities: Digging near buried utilities (gas, water, electric) often requires permits and utility locates to prevent damage.
  • Excavations Affecting Public Property: Projects impacting sidewalks, roads, or other public areas typically require permits.
  • Excavations in Environmentally Sensitive Areas: Projects in wetlands, floodplains, or other sensitive areas might need special permits.
Contact your local building department or planning authority to determine the permit requirements for your excavation project. Failure to obtain necessary permits can result in fines or project delays.

How do I find a good excavation contractor?

Finding a reputable excavation contractor involves careful research and consideration. Look for the following qualities:
  • Experience: Choose contractors with a proven track record and years of experience in excavation projects similar to yours.
  • Licensing and Insurance: Verify that they are properly licensed to operate in your area and carry adequate insurance to protect you from liability in case of accidents or damage.
  • Equipment and Resources: Ensure they have the necessary equipment and resources to handle your project efficiently and safely.
  • Positive Reviews and References: Check online reviews and testimonials from previous customers. Request references and contact them to inquire about their experience with the contractor.
  • Professionalism: Opt for a company that communicates clearly, provides detailed and transparent estimates, and has a responsive and courteous team.
Online directories like ExcavationHQ can simplify the process by allowing you to compare qualified excavation contractors in your area.

How much does excavation cost?

Excavation costs in the UK vary greatly based on several factors:
  • Project Size and Scope: The larger and more complex the excavation, the higher the cost.
  • Soil Type: Different soil types require different equipment and techniques, impacting costs. Rocky or clay-rich soil can be more expensive to excavate than loose soil.
  • Accessibility: Difficult-to-access sites might require specialized equipment or additional labor, increasing expenses.
  • Disposal Costs: Hauling away excavated material (soil, rocks, etc.) to disposal sites incurs additional fees.
  • Permits and Inspections: Depending on local regulations, permits and inspections might be required, adding to the overall cost.
To get an accurate estimate, provide detailed project information to multiple excavation contractors on ExcavationHQ and compare their quotes.

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.
