KST Groundworks Ltd

Foundations are one of the most important elements of any building project. They are incredibly important to the durability of a building, and, if not completed correctly, can affect the strength and resilience of the building. A building will not be reliable or last long without a stable foundation.Our foundation work includes all aspects, from the important setting out stage to excavations and oversites that finish foundations off and are ready for bricklayers to start work.Whether it is a Trench Fill, Strip Foundations, Raft or Mat Foundations, Pile Foundations or Drilled Shaft Foundations that are required, we have the skills and knowledge to construct to technical specifications. KST will ensure that the depths, diameters, and trench type comply with building regulations and adhere to any local authority planning.

Oversites are essential in making structures stable, creating a flush, solid finish between the foundations and the floor’s surface. They provide strength and protect the integrity of a building whilst creating an airtight seal that irradiates moisture penetration.Whether it is a solid slab or a block and beam floor, our operatives have the skill and knowledge to install the oversite with the precision and attention to detail it demands. KST will undertake all aspects of setting out, excavations, and sewer works leading up to the oversites.

This is where we will form the blockwork below ground level (BGL) on top of the newly poured concrete footings. Substructure brickwork involves the construction of blockwork below ground height at the foundation level and is a vital part of stabilising a building and giving the overall structure strength.

KST Groundworks offers a bespoke drainage preparation service designed to meet any specifications. From foul water treatment to soakaways, we provide various options to remove surface and subsurface water from properties, reducing the risk of flooding, water pooling, and the subsequent damage this can cause. Drains and sewers are integral to managing the wastewater and surface water outputs generated by each home in Britain. They prevent the cross-contamination of foul water with rainwater and minimise the risk of flooding.Therefore, every new home must be professionally fitted with the correct infrastructure to connect the property to the appropriate draining systems, including having separate drains for surface and wastewater.

Our groundwork team will inspect and investigate the current drainage system to ensure it meets regulations prior to any work taking place. Our groundsworks West Sussex crew will perform any repairs or relining to the drainage system as needed.

KST offer a full range of soakaway services throughout West Sussex. We offer full and comprehensive soakaway installation for domestic households and commercial businesses. Whether you need to replace an existing soakaway, need a new soakaway installed, or require our specialist advice on repairs and maintenance, we have experienced engineers that can answer any questions you may have. We will conduct an in-house calculation exercise to ensure the correct system is installed on your property.

Our foundation services include superstructure brick and blockwork as well. KST Brickwork LTD will build an extension on your current house to create your new living areas. We also make one-of-a-kind bespoke new buildings in collaboration with reputable local architects and developers. We offer a full repointing service for both modern and historic houses. We can do minor jobs like creating your garden or a boundary wall. KST Groundworks LTD will pass over all superstructure brick and block work after the groundworks are complete.

Retaining walls can be built using brick and block, wood sleepers, or reinforced concrete pours. The structure can then be encased in natural stone, feature brickwork, or manufactured stone.Our skilled tradespeople can help design and implement structures at the forefront of retaining structure development, providing a solid grounding for soil to bear down on. Using complex designs and equations, KST ensures your retaining wall is installed strong, stable and safe for years to come.

Our excavating groundworks service consists of removing or “excavating” earth, topsoil and rock with diggers and other tools. By excavating, we can create trenches, holes, holes, cavities, wall shafts and underground tunnelling using diggers and other machinery. During our excavating process, our West Sussex groundworkers will ensure that all materials are cleared, reused, or disposed of from the site. Excavating is also essential for exploration and environmental restoration. If you have an excavating project for which you would like a quotation, please get in touch with our ground
