Reliable Groundworks for a Strong Start
At Red Rock Property Services, we deliver professional groundworks and foundation services across Surrey and Hampshire. Whether you’re preparing for a new build, extension, or external structure, we handle every stage of the groundwork process — from site clearance and excavation to drainage and concrete pouring. With over 25 years of experience, we ensure your project starts on solid ground, completed safely, efficiently, and to exacting standards.
Comprehensive Foundation Installation
We specialise in all types of foundation systems, including trench fill, raft foundations, and reinforced concrete pads. Our team carefully assesses your site conditions and structural requirements to determine the most suitable foundation type for your project. Every foundation we install is fully compliant with UK Building Regulations and built to support long-lasting, stable structures — whether you’re building on flat ground or a sloping plot.
Underpinning and Structural Stabilisation
If your existing foundations are failing or require reinforcement, we offer professional underpinning services to stabilise your property. We work closely with structural engineers to carry out safe and effective underpinning using methods such as mass concrete or beam-and-base systems. This service is ideal for older properties, listed buildings, or homes affected by ground movement, particularly in areas with clay soils or historical settlement.
Drainage and Earthworks
Our groundwork services include full drainage installation and earthmoving. From foul and surface water drainage systems to soakaways and manhole construction, we ensure proper water management for your property. We also handle earthworks for landscaping or building preparation — including bulk excavation, levelling, and grading. Whether you’re planning an extension in Farnham or a new build in Petersfield, we prepare your site for success.

Frequently Asked Questions
What do your groundworks services include?
Our groundworks services cover all essential elements required to prepare a site for construction. This includes site clearance, excavation, foundation installation, drainage systems, earthworks, underpinning, and hard landscaping preparation. We work on a wide range of projects, from new builds and extensions to driveways, patios, and outbuildings. Every job begins with a detailed assessment to determine ground conditions, access, and the best approach for your project. Whether you’re in Haslemere, Godalming, Petersfield, or surrounding areas in Surrey or Hampshire, we provide a tailored, fully managed solution to ensure your site is safe, level, and structurally sound before any building begins.
What types of foundations do you install?
We install a variety of foundation types depending on your project’s requirements and soil conditions. Common options include trench fill foundations, raft foundations, strip foundations, and reinforced concrete pads. For more complex builds, such as those on sloped or unstable ground, we can also incorporate steel reinforcement or custom foundation solutions. Each type is chosen based on factors like load-bearing capacity, drainage, access, and ground conditions. Our experienced team ensures all foundations are installed to comply with UK Building Regulations and meet structural engineer specifications. We cover projects throughout Surrey and Hampshire and always complete foundation work with precision and care.
Do you offer underpinning services for existing buildings?
Yes, we provide professional underpinning for properties where existing foundations have weakened, shifted, or require reinforcement. Underpinning may be necessary due to ground movement, subsidence, nearby excavation, or structural changes. We work with structural engineers to assess the property and determine the best underpinning method — typically using mass concrete underpinning or beam-and-base techniques. Our team carries out all work safely and compliantly, with minimal disruption to your property. Underpinning is especially important for older or listed buildings in towns like Chiddingfold, Petworth, or Guildford, where maintaining structural integrity is essential. We ensure peace of mind with every job.
How do you handle drainage during groundworks?
Effective drainage is critical to the success of any construction project. We install complete drainage systems, including foul water drains, surface water systems, soakaways, and manholes. Before we begin any excavation, we assess the site’s drainage requirements, accounting for soil type, slope, existing connections, and water runoff. We ensure all drainage is compliant with building regulations and connects properly to mains or approved discharge points. Our drainage work is often completed alongside foundation installation, so it integrates seamlessly into the broader construction plan. Whether you’re building a new home in Farnham or extending a property in Alton, we’ll make sure your site is protected from future water issues.
What are earthworks, and do I need them?
Earthworks refer to the movement, removal, or addition of soil to shape your site and create a stable base for construction. This includes bulk excavation, cut and fill, site levelling, grading, and trenching. Earthworks are often needed to prepare uneven, sloped, or poorly compacted ground before laying foundations or landscaping. We use appropriate machinery for the job — from mini diggers for tight-access areas to bulk excavation equipment for larger plots. Earthworks are essential for ensuring the long-term stability of your structure and are a key part of our groundwork process across Surrey and Hampshire.
Do I need building control approval for foundation work?
Yes, most foundation work requires building control oversight to ensure it meets UK Building Regulations. This applies whether you’re constructing a new build, extension, or carrying out underpinning. At Red Rock Property Services Ltd, we coordinate with your local authority or approved inspector to ensure all stages — from excavation depth to concrete pour — are signed off properly. We handle the scheduling and communication so you’re not left chasing paperwork. Our team is familiar with the regulations and expectations of building control officers throughout Surrey and Hampshire, helping your project run smoothly and compliantly.
Can you help with groundwork for driveways and patios too?
Absolutely. In addition to foundations for buildings, we also prepare the ground for patios, paths, driveways, garden rooms, and hard landscaping. This includes excavation, compacted sub-base installation, drainage channels, and levelling — all done to industry standards to prevent future subsidence or drainage problems. We work with a variety of surfaces including block paving, porcelain paving, concrete, and resin-bound systems. Whether you’re upgrading a driveway in Petersfield or preparing a patio in Godalming, we’ll ensure your outdoor spaces are built on solid, long-lasting ground.
