Groundworks in Redhill, Reigate and the Surrounding Areas
Covering all Locations in Surrey Including Dorking
R.A.W. Groundworks, Fencing & Forestry understands that the backbone of a successful construction project lies firmly in the standard of the groundworks. We pride ourselves on delivering a comprehensive service to encompass site clearances, soft strip-outs, bulk excavation work, footings, oversites, drainage installation, the provision of machine hire and an operator, and all required skills up to and including integration of the damp proof course.
Covering Reigate, the Dorking and Redhill areas, and all locations in Surrey, we bring a full range of skillsets to the groundworks phase of your project.
We are a combined fencing, groundworks and landscaping company with experience in tree care and forestry, using mechanical advantages to deliver a faster service so that you can enjoy reduced labour costs.
A groundworks project can involve the following stages:
Site Clearances
A site clearance is the essential first step in preparing ground for construction projects. Our experienced team ensures that the site is left clear of obstacles, debris, vegetation and dilapidated structures, allowing for a clean and safer environment for further works. A clearance kickstarts the groundworks phase.
Soft Strip-Outs
Soft strip-outs involve the careful removal of non-structural elements within a building. Our skilled professionals handle the systematic disassembly and removal of fixtures, fittings and internal components, leaving the structure ready for renovation or redevelopment, or set aside for demolition work.
Bulk Excavation
Bulk excavation is a critical aspect of groundworks projects in Surrey which involve the removal of large volumes of soil and debris to prepare the land for construction. We use advanced equipment and industry best practices to ensure accurate excavation and to create a stable base for your project.
Drainage Installation
Effective drainage is paramount for ensuring the longevity and stability of any construction. Our team is well-versed in designing and installing drainage systems that manage stormwater, prevent flooding and safeguard structures. We tailor our drainage solutions to the specific needs of the project at hand.
Footings
The footings are crucial to structural stability and form the bottom part of the building’s foundation, distributing weight loads evenly across the footprint of the structure to stop instances of subsidence. Good footings, usually made in concrete, also stop moisture and water from damaging the foundation.
Oversites
An oversite is a concrete layer situated beneath a building’s ground floor to form a seal. Oversites take the form of slabs, laid over prepared land, to form a flooring base or to prepare for the pouring of reinforced concrete flooring slabs. The slabs stop the ground beneath a building from being disturbed.
Damp Proof Course
In addition to site preparation and bulk excavation, we oversee groundworks projects up to the installation of the damp proof course. Damp proof courses prevent moisture penetration and ensure structural longevity of a build. The DPC is also an effective combatant in the fight against rising damp issues.
Machine and Operator Hire
To make our services more efficient, R.A.W. Groundworks, Fencing & Forestry can supply projects with plant and machinery manned by a trained operator from our team. This helps to keep our services in-house and, for the client, it alleviates the inconvenience of having to hire in machinery separately.
Our skilled team ensures that the groundworks are meticulously executed to accommodate the project’s specification. This includes more precise levelling, proper soil compaction, and the appropriate material selection to create a solid and stable foundation. We then install the damp proof course, ensuring a smooth, seamless transition to the subsequent construction phases.
With services available within a wide radius of Reigate, including Dorking and Redhill, we meet the needs of domestic, commercial and industrial clients.
We also offer services to the equestrian sector.
