  • Kent Operated Digger Hire

    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.

How do I choose the right excavation contractor for my project?

Selecting the right excavation contractor is crucial for a successful project. Here are key factors to consider:
  • Project Type and Size: Ensure the contractor has experience handling projects similar to yours in scale and complexity.
  • Reputation and Reviews: Check online reviews and testimonials, and request references from previous clients.
  • Licensing and Insurance: Verify that the contractor is properly licensed and insured to protect you from liability.
  • Equipment and Resources: Confirm that they have the necessary equipment and resources for your project's needs.
  • Communication and Transparency: Choose a contractor who communicates clearly, provides detailed estimates, and keeps you informed throughout the project.
  • Safety Record: Inquire about their safety protocols and track record to ensure a safe work environment.
  • Price: While price is important, it shouldn't be the only deciding factor. Balance affordability with experience, reputation, and quality of service.
By carefully evaluating these factors and comparing multiple contractors, you can make an informed decision.

How much does it cost to excavate a basement?

Basement excavation costs can fluctuate considerably based on these factors:
  • Basement Size: The larger the basement, the more excavation is required, increasing the cost.
  • Soil Type: Excavating rocky or dense clay soil is generally more expensive than loose soil.
  • Accessibility: Difficult-to-access sites might require specialized equipment or more labor, driving up costs.
  • Foundation Type: The chosen foundation type (full basement, crawl space, slab) affects excavation needs.
  • Underpinning: If underpinning (strengthening existing foundations) is necessary, it significantly increases costs.
  • Disposal Fees: Hauling excavated soil to disposal sites adds to the overall expense.
Contact excavation contractors for detailed quotes based on your specific basement project.

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 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.
