At Ganney Groundwork Essex, we know that basement construction and foundation installation require professionalism, planning, skills, the right tools and the right methods. We team outstanding workmanship with our passion for ensuring our customer’s projects are complete within the budget and timescale they require.
The key stages of basement construction are:
We excavate the construction site to the agreed depth using the best plant equipment. Several factors will determine the desired depth, including soil type, structure type, and the basement’s purpose.
The most common methods of basement construction are using prefabricated concrete blocks and pouring concrete into a framework. It is important to acknowledge that prefabricated concrete blocks are not suited to soil likely to swell.
Waterproofing a basement is an integral part of long-term structure care. We use several methods of waterproofing. As experienced and professional groundwork contractors, we will use the method best suited to the individual project. Waterproofing methods include:
Our groundwork experts use foam insulation, insulation boards or fibreglass to ensure insulation complies with building regulations. These standards relate to waterproofing, ventilation and insulation. Our team is skilled in the art of basement insulation and will ensure heat retention is improved without risking issues such as condensation.
Whether you live in Epsom, Dorking, Farnborough, Cobham or the Claygate region, we have your groundwork needs covered.
