Groundworks form the cornerstone of every successful construction project.

Our promise is to provide our clients with the highest quality work that is always carried out on time and within budget. We focus on ensuring that we have a team of highly specialised professionals with the skills to carry out projects to the exact specification required.

Groundworks

Seer undertakes most aspects of groundworks. Our experience covers excavation, formwork, foundations, drainage, and hard landscaping for large commercial projects.

From leveling the land and crafting sturdy foundations to installing drainage systems, our experience and knowledge ensures that your project starts on solid ground. Trust our dedicated team to handle the nitty-gritty details and take care of getting the construction off to a great start.

It all starts with excavations

Using a competent workforce, battered trenches and trench boxes, we aim to maintain high health and safety standards and keep within the project’s programme

We approach each excavation with the same level of meticulous planning and attention to detail, ensuring that every dig is precise and in harmony with the surrounding environment. With a focus on safety and sustainability, we go the extra mile to minimize environmental impact while achieving maximum efficiency.

Whether you're embarking on a commercial, residential, or industrial project, our excavation services are designed to provide you with a rock-solid foundation to build upon.

Strong foundations

Our large commercial projects warrant mass scale concrete pours, which is not a problem for our team of groundworkers.

From concrete footings to deep excavations, we specialise in crafting foundations that form the sturdy backbone of your construction endeavors.

Drainage

We have plenty of experience in drainage, foul or storm. We install hydrobrakes, attenuation tanks, swales and more, depending on the requirements of the project.

Sufficient drainage is becoming more important as year upon year, it seems the UK has record breaking rainfall, meaning a high risk of flooding. Installing appropriate drainage can help prevent this from happening.

Hard landscaping

Most of our work is below ground, but we have a team that are able to complete all aspects of hard landscaping such as kerbing and paving to finish a project with a quality finish.

Retaining walls
