  • Kent Operated Digger Hire
    5
    Rockhill Rhododendron Ave Meopham, Gravesend, DA13 0TT, GB

    Kent Operated Digger Hire I specialize in excavating driveways, footings, drainage trenches, soakaways, ponds, soil leveling, and spreading, etc. I offer a 1.5t 360 mini digger with a driver, 1m1cm wide, with an approximate digging depth of 2m and buckets of 300mm and 600mm for spreading. Prices start at £350 per day. A concrete breaker attachment is available for an additional £100 per day. For narrow access, I have a 700mm wide digger with a folding roll bar, starting at £350 per day. A 2.6t digger is also available from £400 per day, depending on distance. I typically arrive at 8:00 am and need to leave by 4:00 pm. The 'Day' is up to 7 hours, with a 1-hour break. If the job lasts less than 7 hours, it will be charged at the full-day price. Prices include delivery and fuel up to 20 miles from Meopham, Kent. Inquire for pricing if further. The average extension foundation takes one to two days. I also offer all drainage installation, repairs, and septic tank or treatment plant installation. Email for a quote. At an extra cost, we can arrange for a surveyor to mark out footings, or you can do it yourself. Usually, a surveyor is not needed for an extension. I am happy to help self-builders or DIYers with advice. If electric, gas, water, or drainage crosses foundations, they need to be marked. I also offer hire-I-drive for 360 machines up to 7t and 4x4 site masters and dumpers, which I am experienced in operating. So you just pay me for driving. Email me for a price. COVID-19 UPDATE: At the moment, we are still working as normal. If you could please email or text photos and descriptions so I don't need to visit to have a look, and I will be complying with distancing measures on site. Please contact me, and I will get you booked in. Thanks, Rory.

Frequently Asked Questions About Excavation Contractors

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

What is the difference between topsoil and subsoil?

Topsoil and subsoil are distinct soil layers with different properties:
Topsoil: The uppermost layer, typically rich in organic matter, nutrients, and microorganisms. It's essential for plant growth and is often darker in color.
Subsoil: The layer beneath the topsoil, containing less organic matter and generally denser. It provides support for roots but is less fertile than topsoil.
During excavation, topsoil is often removed and preserved separately for later use in landscaping, while subsoil is typically used for backfilling or other less demanding applications.

What is the difference between excavation and grading?

While often used together, excavation and grading are distinct processes:
Excavation: Primarily involves removing earth or other materials from a site. It's about digging down and creating space.
Grading: Focuses on shaping and leveling the ground to a specific slope or elevation. It's about adjusting the existing terrain.
For example, you might excavate a foundation and then grade the surrounding area to ensure proper drainage and a level surface for landscaping.

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.

What are the different types of excavation?

Excavation encompasses various types, each with its purpose and method. Some common types include:
  • Topsoil Removal: Stripping the fertile topsoil layer from a site, often preserving it for landscaping.
  • Trench Excavation: Digging long, narrow trenches for utilities (pipes, cables) or foundations.
  • Basement Excavation: Removing earth to create a space for a basement beneath a structure.
  • Pool Excavation: Digging a precise hole for installing a swimming pool.
  • Roadway Excavation: Removing earth and preparing the ground for road construction.
  • Demolition Excavation: Clearing debris and preparing the site after demolition.
  • Channel Excavation: Creating channels for drainage or irrigation.
The specific type of excavation required depends on the project's goals and site conditions.
