Whether you’re upgrading a garden, creating a new driveway, or preparing for an extension, our groundwork team sets the site up for long-term performance. We regularly work around Fulham Broadway and Parsons Green, where access and logistics can be just as important as the dig itself. Services include site clearance, excavation, levelling and drainage, all planned to suit your property and programme. We also build retaining walls and access roads where plots demand extra structure.
Fulham’s mix of Victorian terraces, mansion flats and modern riverside apartments brings different challenges below ground. Older homes often need careful foundation work near party walls, while courtyard gardens can require compact machinery and staged spoil removal. Near Bishops Park and the riverside, drainage design and levels matter to prevent water pooling and protect paving and lawns. Our approach is tailored to each site, not a one-size-fits-all method.
We start with a site visit, measurements, and a clear scope covering excavation depths, spoil disposal, and drainage routes. You’ll receive a straightforward plan, itemised where helpful, and we keep you updated as ground conditions are uncovered. We protect neighbouring boundaries, manage deliveries, and leave the site safe and tidy at the end of each day. Homeowners choose us for dependable workmanship, transparent communication, and a 10-year warranty on qualifying works.
Working across the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham means planning for tight streets, parking controls and timed deliveries. In SW6, access can be restricted by narrow side returns, basement lightwells and shared alleyways, so we select machinery and methods to suit. We also account for neighbouring structures typical of terraces and mansion blocks, using careful excavation and sequencing. If permits or skips are needed, we help coordinate the practicalities to keep your project moving.

Costs vary with access, excavation depth, disposal, and whether you need drainage, concrete or foundations. As a guide in Fulham, small groundwork packages (clearance, minor excavation and levelling) often start around £1,500–£4,000. Drainage upgrades commonly fall between £2,500–£7,500. Foundations and larger concrete works for extensions can range from £8,000–£25,000+, depending on design, volume and site constraints.
Simple site clearance and levelling can take 1–3 days, while drainage and concrete bases are often 3–10 working days. Foundations for an extension commonly run 1–3 weeks, depending on depth, curing time and inspections. Timescales in Fulham can be affected by restricted access, skip permits, delivery windows and unexpected ground conditions. We provide a realistic programme and keep you updated if anything changes.
Many garden groundwork jobs are permitted development, such as replacing paving, levelling a garden, or installing drainage within your boundary. Planning permission may be needed for major changes to levels, new access points, works affecting trees, or if your property is listed or within a conservation area. We’ll flag likely requirements early and can work with your architect or engineer. We also advise on highway permissions for skips and materials deliveries.
We provide a 10-year warranty on qualifying groundwork installations, covering workmanship for items such as drainage runs, concrete bases and retaining structures installed to the agreed specification. The warranty is valid when the work is used as intended and not altered by third parties. We also document key stages, including levels and materials used, to support future maintenance. Any manufacturer warranties on products are passed on where applicable.
We tailor the build-up to your finish and site needs, from Type 1 sub-bases and reinforced concrete slabs to permeable aggregates for better drainage. For retaining walls, options include concrete block with render, brick to match your home, or sleeper-style solutions where suitable. Drainage can include channel drains, soakaways and attenuation crates. We’ll recommend the right specification based on levels, soil conditions, and how you use the space.
