Groundworks in Newbury | A Full Site Enabling Service for Building and Construction Works

Site Clearance

Clearing a site properly is the first step on a building project. At NR Builders, we remove all scrub, vegetation and obstacles so that a job can begin on time with the confidence required to ensure a more successful outcome. Groundworks is the first phase of most projects.

Our site clearance service in Newbury covers:

• Removal of scrub, vegetation and debris
• Disposal of structural waste
• Levelling and tidying of every site area

By handling waste safely and in line with UK regulations, we ensure that land is not only clear but also compliant. This makes planning approvals and inspections easier to manage, either for ourselves as a main contractor or for site managers who use us as subcontractors.

Bulk Excavation

Many groundworks projects in Newbury require bulk excavation before the foundations can be laid. NR Builders has the experience and the equipment needed to manage excavation efficiently and at scale. Our approach focuses on accuracy. We dig down to the required depth and shape, ensuring levels are precise for foundations or for drainage.

We can also trench to accommodate utility installations.

The excavated material is either reused onsite wherever possible and removed to reduce environmental impact. On larger projects, our team coordinates bulk excavation and groundworks with other tradespeople working in the Newbury area, saving you time and avoiding delays.

Preparing Ground for Building Work

Groundworks preparation is critical to the stability and lifespan of a structure. At NR Builders, we prepare ground so that foundations and utilities are supported from the moment we arrive on your site.

In Newbury, our preparation services can include:

• Soil stabilisation and compaction of the ground
• Installation of the drainage system
• Trenching for water, gas and electricity
• Ground levelling for accurate construction work

By getting the preparation right, we prevent subsidence issues, poor drainage and uneven settlement. That means that there will be fewer problems during construction, and less risk of costly repairs later.

Domestic and Commercial Services

Groundworks are not limited to large developments. We can help local homeowners in Newbury with domestic projects such as new home builds and property extensions, and landscaping work. For commercial works, we can enable sites for offices, retail spaces and industrial units.

Flexibility means we adapt to the scale and needs of the project. We work closely with architects, engineers and contractors to ensure the groundworks phase fits seamlessly into the wider build schedule.
