Those sloping gardens and clay-heavy plots around Keston need proper groundwork before any building project begins. With decades tackling everything from Victorian property extensions to modern garden rooms across BR2, we understand exactly what lies beneath.
Response within 24 hours
Keston's mix of period properties and modern developments each bring their own underground challenges. Clay soil shifts, tree roots from those magnificent oaks, and natural springs can all complicate your building plans. Having worked on countless projects between Keston Common and the village centre, we've encountered just about every geological surprise this area can throw up.
Proper groundworks involve far more than simply digging holes. Site investigation reveals hidden obstacles, while precise excavation protects neighbouring properties and preserves mature trees. Modern machinery allows us to navigate tight access points common in older Keston properties, whilst ground stabilisation techniques ensure your investment stands firm for generations.
Local knowledge matters when you're digging deep in BR2. Years of working alongside Bromley planning officers means paperwork flows smoothly, whilst established relationships with nearby suppliers keep materials arriving promptly despite Keston's sometimes tricky road network.

Absolutely - from properties backing onto Keston Ponds right through to homes near Hayes Wood. We also regularly work in neighbouring Farnborough and central Bromley.
Most residential foundation projects take 2-3 weeks, though complex sites with significant level changes might need an extra week. Drainage installations typically wrap up within 5-8 days.
Every groundworks project carries our decade-long structural warranty, backed by comprehensive insurance. This covers settlement issues, waterproofing failures, and any structural movement linked to our work.
Protecting existing landscaping is standard practice - we use ground protection mats, plan machinery routes carefully, and can even hand-dig near precious plants. Many Keston gardens have taken decades to mature, so we treat them with appropriate respect.
