Groundworks

Strong foundations, seamless delivery, no surprises

Groundworks done properly for lasting results

When you’re planning an extension, garden room, major outdoor upgrade or delivering a new-build scheme, nothing matters more than the quality of your groundworks. A stable base, accurate levels and well-planned drainage are the quiet heroes of every successful project.

T&K Humphrey Ltd, Groundworks & Landscaping, specialises in the essentials you don’t see: site preparation, foundations and footings, sub-base installation, service trenches and concrete slabs, so everything you do see looks right and performs long term. You get straight answers, an itemised scope and one accountable, organised team that coordinates seamlessly with your builder, architect and new-build developer. We plan access, logistics and sequencing, keep neighbours informed, and leave sites clean and ready for the next trade, with clear timelines and photos of key stages.

Solid bases. Tidy delivery. Fewer surprises.

Groundworks expertise

We survey your plot, set out accurately and excavate to the correct depth. Sub-bases are compacted in layers with the right granular material and edge restraint so nothing creeps or settles. Footings and slabs are poured to specification with reinforcement where required, damp-proof membranes and insulation detailed correctly, and service runs planned sensibly in ducts with draw cords for future access.

Drainage is designed from day one with sensible falls to safe outfalls. Access for building control is kept clear and records are maintained throughout. The outcome is a stable, compliant platform that keeps programmes predictable and inspections smooth.

Seamless site delivery

End-to-end delivery under one plan means no gaps between trades. You get one point of contact, a clear sequence and realistic dates. Routes are protected, temporary ramps and walkways are provided where needed and neighbours are considered with tidy working areas and sensible hours. Deliveries and muck-away are booked to suit your road, waste is managed responsibly and the site is left safe each day. Communication is regular and straightforward so you know what is happening and when. The result is less disruption and a clean handover.

Groundworks with local know-how

Clay pockets and tree roots in Haslemere and Chiddingfold, hillside plots around Guildford, slower percolation in Godalming and mixed soils across Farnham, Liss, Liphook, Petersfield and Midhurst are all planned for from the start. Depth, reinforcement and concrete specification are chosen to suit your soil.

Falls are set to protect thresholds, soakaway volumes are sized to local conditions and permeable options are considered where appropriate. Retaining, steps and sensible gradients are introduced to make movement safer. The aim is simple: long-lasting results that perform well in local ground.
