Demolition
Before we can set to work excavating and laying the footings, the area must be cleared of all non-essential buildings, trees and shrubs.
At Fost & Co our attention to detail and quality of work determines that all demolition tasks are performed under the strictest of safety conditions and all rubble, rubbish and debris are fully cleared from the site before the next phase begins.
Excavation
Following the clearance of the area, the first part of any groundwork task is to excavate. This entails digging out the earth in preparation for the laying of the foundations. One of the most important jobs requires some serious kit, which is why we use only the latest machinery to ensure our excavation work is carried out swiftly and also safely.
Whether you are building an extension, swimming pool or planning a large area to be landscaped, Fost & Co can help make your plans a reality.
Foundation
Whatever your build project going forward, Fost & Co is on hand to lay the firmest footings or foundations.
- Footings: these are strips that are dug out to a specified width and depth as decided upon by an architect of structural engineer.
- Foundations: sitting atop of the footings, foundation is a general term for the earthworks that help support any given building
Drainage
Last but certainly not least, Fost & Co’s skilled team can help plan, prepare and lay drainage systems or channels ahead of the build.
We ensure a safe pathway, checking all neighbouring drains and pipework for all mains providers as well as ‘foul’ drainage which relates to waste from kitchens, bathrooms and associated appliances.
Tried and Trusted Professionals
When employing Fost & Co you know you are hiring a team dedicated to creating a perfect base from where construction can begin.
We offer single offer tasks or a complete excavation, foundation and drainage package. We can be called upon ahead of domestic builds or before commercial construction teams take over.
Whatever your groundwork needs across Bromley and the wider Kent area, Fost & Co has it covered.
