Who This Is For
Jackson's commercial groundworks service is for self-builders, small developers, architects and main contractors who need a reliable, skilled groundworker subcontractor — someone who understands NHBC standards, can read drainage drawings, and gets it right first time. This isn't a landscaping company doing groundwork on the side. Jackson works full-time on major multi-award-winning UK housing developments across Scotland. His weekend and evening availability gives self-builders and small developers access to that same level of skill and experience.
What We Do
Plot Drainage Systems
Full storm water drainage layouts for new build plots. Perforated pipe runs, inspection chambers, fall calculations and connection to soakaway or adoptable sewer. Groundworks and drainage for new build homes executed to NHBC standard.
Foundation Preparation
Bulk excavation, reduced levels, compacted hardcore sub-bases and blinded concrete to formation level. Compliant with building regulations and NHBC Chapter 4.
Concrete Pours & Shuttering
Strip foundations, pad foundations and ground-bearing slabs. Shuttering erected and struck to specification with correct cover to reinforcement throughout.
Utility Pipe-Laying
Duct and service pipe installation for water, electric, gas and drainage. Correct bedding, haunching and cover depths to Building Regulations Approved Document H.

Most groundworkers with genuine new-build experience are locked into main contractor supply chains and not available to self-builders. Jackson is. His weekend service gives you access to someone who installs the same drainage and groundwork systems — to the same standards — as Scotland's biggest housebuilders. Site surveys are free. Quotes are written and itemised. No surprises.
