05 / SITE LOGRecent groundwork
Foundations, drainage, driveways, excavations and site preparation. Dug straight, laid level and compacted properly - the honest groundwork every good job is built on.
NSV Groundworks is an independent groundworks contractor working across Newmarket, Suffolk and the surrounding villages. We handle the part of the job that everything else depends on - clearing, digging, draining and levelling the ground so what goes on top stands the test of time. No shortcuts, no mess left behind, and a price you are told up front.
Small, hands-on team. You deal with the people doing the work, not a call centre. We turn up when we say we will and leave the site tidy.
Strip, trench-fill and pad foundations dug to spec, footings poured and set ready for the build. The solid base everything sits on.

Set out, dig to depth and level, muck away removed clean. The plot cleared and ready for what comes next.

Final level checked, surface finished and the site left clean and tidy. Job signed off and done right.
“They dug our footings dead level and had the muck away before we'd even had a chance to worry about it. Straight-talking, tidy, and the price never moved once. Proper job from start to finish.
“Our drive used to flood every winter. NSV put in a soakaway and re-laid the sub-base properly - not seen a puddle since. You can tell straight away they don't cut corners.
“Cleared and levelled the whole plot ready for our extension. Turned up when they said they would and left the site spotless every night. Would have them back without a second thought.
“Poured a big slab for our new workshop - set the levels with a laser and power-floated it to a proper finish. Dead flat, cured hard, exactly as they said it'd be. Can't fault them.
“New drainage run and a fresh access dug in over some tricky wet ground. The machine work was neat and they backfilled and reinstated so well you'd hardly know they'd been.
“Ripped out the old cracked concrete and laid us a proper block-paved drive. Tidy edges, a good fall for the water, and they swept the road before they left. Grand lads.
