We shape and prepare your site so it is stable, accurately formed and ready for the next stage.
Good earthworks give every later stage a safe, stable platform. Whether the next step is a new service yard or an access road, the ground needs to be at the right level and properly prepared.
Our in-house teams plan the work clearly and carry it out with modern machinery and surveying equipment.

The same people survey, plan and build your job, and your site keeps running while we do it.
Send your briefWe form the site accurately so the drainage, concrete or surfacing that follows can start without rework.
Earthworks are carried out by our in-house teams with modern plant and surveying equipment, not handed to a third party.
On a Rochdale manufacturing site, excavated material was compacted on site rather than taken away, which kept the site clean and cut out heavy waste runs during the works.
The same team can carry on with drainage, retaining walls and concrete, so there is no gap between contractors.
Real jobs, real sites. Open any project to see the problem, what we did and the result.
Feedback from the people who run these sites, shown with the job we did for them.
All the feedback we've had from site has been really positive. I've also got to give credit for how you have managed some of the on-site issues that required making design changes on the fly. This showed great pragmatism. As always, it's a pleasure working with PKB on this project.
The fact you have a road sweeper coming on-site to clean up, is very much appreciated and shows attention to detail. Your team always work clean and tidy, and what really stood out is their communication and the fact nothing is too much trouble. The concrete repairs exceeded my expectations and should make the area much safer to work in.
Thanks guys, really happy with how this came out. The yard is great, staff can move around and we've got our space back. Will definitely be coming back to you again.
Really happy with the result. Your team were great to have on site and we were trading throughout which was important. Thank you.
Can't see your question? Call us or send your brief and we'll come back to you.
Send your briefYes. Groundworks, drainage, concreting and surfacing are delivered by PKB crews using our own equipment. That means one point of contact, one programme and one company accountable for the finish.
We walk the site with you and assess ground conditions, drainage, loading and access. You get a safety and compliance review, a budget and cost analysis, a phasing and maintenance plan, and recommendations specific to your site. There is no obligation to proceed.
Yes, and most of our work is done that way. We phase the works so vehicle routes, deliveries and pedestrian access stay clear, agree the sequence with your site team before we start, and keep the working area swept and separated throughout.
Yes. We work only on commercial and industrial sites: external concrete yards, service areas and access routes at recycling facilities, ports, manufacturing plants, transport depots and builders merchants. We do not take on domestic or small private works.
We work on commercial and industrial sites across the UK and regularly travel for larger yard refurbishments and repair programmes. Each project location is assessed on scope, scale and programme.
Tell us what's happening on site. We'll review your brief and, if it's a good fit, arrange a free site survey.
