Build With Confidence – From the Ground Up
At Andy’s Building and Bricklaying Services, we take pride in delivering safe, strong, and regulation-compliant structural work with minimal disruption and maximum attention to detail.
F.A.Q.
Groundwork refers to all the preparation done before construction begins – including excavation, trenching, drainage, foundations, and concrete bases.
Yes – proper foundations and base layers are essential for stability, insulation, and long-term durability of any structure.
Foundation depth depends on the soil type and the size/load of the building. We follow local building regulations and typically dig to 600mm–1000mm or more as required.
Absolutely. We build custom concrete bases for garden buildings, sheds, garages, log cabins, and more – perfectly level and long-lasting.
We assess and install the correct drainage based on your property’s needs, including rainwater run-off, soakaways, and utility trenches if required.
Yes. We carry out full site clearance, including removal of old structures, levelling uneven ground, and preparing the area for digging.
Yes. We dig accurate, regulation-compliant trenches for water pipes, gas lines, electrical cables, and other underground services.
Not quite – a groundworker specialises in the below-ground preparation. We offer both groundwork and general building, so we handle the full project from the ground up.
That depends on the size of the job, weather, and soil conditions – but most bases or prep work can be completed in a few days to a week.
