Accreditations Like any reputable contractor, we are accredited by CHAS and CSCS. What Is CHAS? CHAS, or the Contractors Health and Safety Assessment Scheme as it is known in its proper form, is a significant scheme promoting the benefits of effective Health and Safety within industries and business. The CHAS certification or certificate for accreditation is meant for consultants and contractors who apply for work with private and public sector organisations. The Accreditation Certificate is valid for a period of 12 months from the last date of assessment stating as compliant. Maintaining the certification requires the supplier to be assessed on an annual basis. What Is CSCS? CSCS is the leading skills certification scheme within the UK construction industry. CSCS cards provide proof that individuals working on construction sites have the required training and qualifications for the type of work they carry out. The Scheme keeps a database of people working in construction who have achieved or are committed to achieving a recognised construction related qualification. Where we are accredited by these two organisations, you have peace of mind knowing that we are more than capable of carrying out the contract to an expected level of service and safety.

  • Bruce Spenser MSc LCGI | Party Wall Third Surveyor
    4.8
    Ramsgate, GB

    Party Wall Third Surveyor - Bruce Spenser MSc LCGI Bruce acts as the Third Surveyor throughout England and Wales. He also acts as the agreed Party Wall Surveyor in Thanet. Bruce no longer acts as the Party Wall Surveyor for the Building Surveyor or the Party Wall Surveyor for the Adjoining Owner. Expert Advice and Guidance Bruce is often asked for advice on current disputes, awards and actions and non-actions of appointed Party Wall Surveyors etc. The only advice he can give is what all Party Wall Surveyors should give; Contact a Party Wall Lawyer. Again Bruce does not give advice prior to being appointed; this is similar to approaching a Judge before the case is heard. Beware Party Wall Surveyors offering sprats to catch Mackerals (you and the other unfortunate owners in the dispute)!! Building Surveys Bruce no longer offers Building Surveys, however the menu for Building Surveys (at the foot of the page) cover all possible Building Defects and their rectification and the legal and ethical requirements of those offering Building Surveys. Bruce’s Building Survey Template is available for a fixed fee of £500.00 for one use. Contact Bruce Call Bruce

Frequently Asked Questions About Excavation Contractors

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

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.

What is the excavation process?

A typical excavation process involves several key steps:
  1. Planning and Surveying: Defining the excavation area, marking utility lines, and determining the required depth and grade.
  2. Site Preparation: Clearing vegetation, removing obstacles, and ensuring site accessibility.
  3. Excavation: Using appropriate equipment (excavators, backhoes, etc.) to remove earth and create the desired excavation.
  4. Hauling and Disposal: Transporting excavated material to designated disposal sites, complying with environmental regulations.
  5. Backfilling and Compaction: Refilling the excavation with suitable material and compacting it to achieve the required density and stability.
  6. Grading and Finishing: Leveling and shaping the surface to the final grade for landscaping or construction.
The process might vary depending on the project's complexity and specific requirements.

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.

How do I know if I need excavation for my project?

Several project types often necessitate excavation:
  • New Construction: Laying foundations, basements, or underground utilities for new buildings.
  • Home Additions: Creating space for new rooms, basements, or extensions.
  • Landscaping: Leveling ground, creating slopes, installing retaining walls, or digging for ponds or pools.
  • Drainage Improvement: Installing French drains, drainage ditches, or swales to manage water runoff.
  • Utility Installation or Repair: Laying new water, sewer, gas, or electrical lines, or repairing existing ones.
  • Demolition: Clearing debris and preparing the site after demolishing a structure.
If your project involves altering the ground level or installing underground features, excavation is likely required.
