Explore our comprehensive range of expert groundwork and civils services
At United Civils, we deliver residential groundwork services designed for long-term performance and precision. From private plots to multi-unit housing schemes, our work ensures every home starts with the right foundation.
We support housebuilders, developers, and self-builders across Nottinghamshire, Yorkshire, Lincolnshire, Derbyshire, and beyond. Our services are tailored to each site — combining technical accuracy with clean, reliable execution at every stage of the build.
Our residential groundworks cover every element required to get new homes out of the ground and ready for follow-on trades. Whether it’s a single property or a multi-phase housing development, we deliver to NHBC standards and local authority specifications.
Services include:
Site strip and earthworks
Plot drainage and connections
Foundations and floor slabs
Driveways, paths, and patios
Kerbs and edge restraints
Utility ducting and service trenches
We work from layout and engineering drawings, ensuring correct levels, safe trenching, and strong sub-base formation throughout the project.
United Civils manages site preparation from the first dig to final external works. This includes reduced level digs, muck-away, and ground stabilisation if required — all with proper setting-out and compaction testing.
Our teams deliver:
Plot-by-plot foundation install
Surface and foul drainage runs
Inspection chambers and manholes
Sub-base for drives and footpaths
Preparation for paving or tarmac surfacing
We also install any necessary soakaways, attenuation tanks, and SUDS-compatible features to meet planning and water authority conditions.
We understand the unique pressures of residential developments — from space constraints and live site conditions to phased completions. Our teams are trained to work cleanly, safely, and to a high finish standard that supports other trades and customer expectations.
