Groundworks Contractors in Herefordshire

Your Local Groundworks Company

At Miles Construct Ltd, we’ve been the groundworks contractors Herefordshire homeowners turn to when a project needs a solid start. Good groundwork is the difference between a build that stands strong for decades and one that runs into costly problems down the line, and it’s where every successful project genuinely begins.

From site clearance and excavation through to foundations, drainage and driveways, our experienced team delivers reliable groundwork services across Herefordshire, Ross-on-Wye and the surrounding area. Whether you’re planning a new build, an extension, or simply want a driveway or patio that will last, we lay the groundwork that everything else depends on.

What Is Groundworks?

Groundworks covers all the below-ground and site preparation work that happens before a building project takes shape, from clearing and levelling the plot to laying foundations, installing drainage, and forming the base for driveways and patios. It’s the unglamorous stage of a project that nobody notices when it’s done well, but that causes subsidence, flooding and structural issues when it’s rushed or cut corners on.

As an experienced groundwork contractor, we make sure this foundation stage is done the first time properly, so the rest of your build has something solid to stand on.

Our Residential Groundworks Services

We offer a full range of groundworks services for homes across Herefordshire, including:

Site Clearance & Excavation

Before anything can be built, the site needs to be cleared, levelled and excavated to the right depth and specification. Our team handles site clearance and excavation for new builds, extensions and landscaping projects, working efficiently while keeping disruption to your property to a minimum.

Foundations & Footings for Extensions and New Builds

A building is only as strong as what’s underneath it. We lay expertly formed concrete foundations and footings for extensions and new builds, engineered to suit your soil conditions and building design so your home has the structural integrity it needs for the long term.

Drainage & Soakaway Installation

Poor drainage is one of the most common (and expensive) issues in residential building work. Our land drainage and soakaway installation services are designed to move water away from your home effectively, protecting your property from flooding, damp and water damage for years to come.

Driveways & Patios: Block Paving, Tarmac & Gravel

A well-built driveway or patio needs the right groundwork underneath it as much as it needs a good surface finish. We install durable, attractive driveways and patios using block paving, tarmac and gravel, so whether you want a smart tarmac driveway or a traditional block paving driveway, we’ll build it to last.

Garden & Landscaping Groundworks

Thinking about a garden overhaul or hard landscaping project? We prepare the ground with stabilisation and levelling work for lawns, planting areas and patios, giving your landscaping the stable base it needs to actually stay looking good.
