    Proper friendly + competent, would use again

    Posted 18 September

    We got Skippy in to do the groundworks for a big rear extension and retaining wall for us. Previous builders left us with an absolute mess of a site in the middle of winter, but Steve and the team weren't fazed and got our project done and dusted no problem. Great team, proper professional, know what they're doing, and they get it done properly. Really friendly, can't recommend enough

    Excellent digger operator used by JMA Garden Design for groundworks

    Posted 03 September 2024

    We hired the use of their digger operator and machinery for considerable groundworks as part of a garden re-design in Billericay. This is not the first time I have used this company and the expertise, willingness to work as part of our team and reliability was as good as ever.

In that time, we have provided essential groundwork services to domestic customers and commercial clients alike across Epping Forest, Havering, Brentwood, Waltham Cross, and beyond and within.

What Skippy Groundworks Ltd can do for you:

We consistently rank among the top groundwork companies in the area, thanks to the impeccable quality of our services and the tireless dedication of our staff. Here are just some of the groundwork solutions we can offer you…

Professional groundwork contractors across the South East

Groundworks are a crucial aspect of any building or construction project and, here at Skippy Groundworks Ltd, we have been providing domestic customers and commercial clients alike, throughout the South East region, with the very best in hand-tailored groundworks solutions for almost thirty years.

Opening our doors in 1990, in the decades that have followed we have amassed a reputation as the foremost proponents of quality groundwork services in London, Essex, and Hertfordshire. It is a reputation that we do not take lightly, especially since most of it has been built on the recommendations given by our thousands of satisfied former and repeat customers to their respective friends, families, and business associates. We pride ourselves on the faith that these customers show in us, and do everything in our power to ensure that we live up to, or even exceed.

Footing services

For those of our customers unaware of how footings works, they are general struts of metal-reinforced concrete that are sunk into the ground to act as a brace for the real foundations yet to come. This is commonly done in areas where the ground is too soft to reliable take the weight of regular foundations. Rather than making the foundations themselves larger (which is a costly and time-consuming business), a network of footings with provide ample support for generations to come.

Drainage services

An often-overlooked aspect of groundwork is the installation of drainage systems alongside the foundations, footings and other support networks. We can help you from the start, identifying the most cost-effective drainage system, and how it can be incorporated into your design plans

Foundation services

We can provide you with ready-made concrete slabs, or we can produce your foundations fresh at the site using moulds and fresh concrete. Whichever option you choose, we can guarantee you a set of building foundations that will stand the test of time.

Demolition services

Sometimes groundwork cannot begin, because the site has not been properly cleared or there is an older building still stood there. If you hire Skippy Groundworks Ltd, not only are you assured high-quality footings and foundations, but we’ll also clear the site for you beforehand.

Aggregates supplied

We can supply all aggregates or you can collect from our Brentwood depot if you would prefer, please call for a quotation


Whatever your groundwork requirements might be, whether you’re based in Essex, London, or Hertfordshire, make Skippy Groundworks Ltd your first (and only) port of call. Get in touch today. A member of the team will be happy to discuss your particular project, before providing you with a free, no-obligation quote or arranging an on-site consultation, if needs be.
