GB Groundworks and Construction Ltd

GB Groundworks and Construction Ltd is a small, specialist construction company based in Sheffield. The business was started as a sole trader in 2006 and became a limited company in 2014. Its founder grew up in a family of house builders, and the company has a family history in property development. It works predominantly for the National Trust and has also worked for the NHS and a number of multinational companies, including Ferodo - Federal Mogul.

Its work spans both commercial and domestic sectors, and is carried out across the Peak District and surrounding areas. Projects have included Two Thorn Fields Farm and Longshaw Estate. Core capabilities include piling, groundworks, foundations, extensions, new builds, landscaping, equestrian construction, and specialist civil engineering works. The company has extensive commercial experience within heavy industry, delivering machine bases, press pits, reinforced foundations, concrete tanks, and infrastructure for production lines, as well as welfare and laboratory facilities.

Domestic works include footings, drainage, landscaping, driveways, damp-proofing packages, full extensions, and complete new builds. Civil-style projects include retaining walls, river works, piling, concrete ring beams, fencing, and basements. In the equestrian sector, it works with both private and commercial clients to deliver manèges, arenas, stables, concrete yards, land drainage, fencing, and ongoing land and field maintenance.

Seeing a project through and staying dependable when complications arise is the theme that runs through accounts of this Sheffield groundworks and construction firm. Excavation and foundation work for a house extension was described as capable and positive, particularly because removal of material proved tougher than expected and the team worked at it until a fix was found. Transforming outdoor areas also features prominently, with a tarmac driveway edged in cobbles, a decorative gravel parking surface and lawn all drawing favourable comment, and the job being finished promptly at a keen rate.

Professional conduct from the first quote through to final snagging comes up again and again, together with clear communication, punctuality and courteous behaviour. One project spanned the entire process, from initial concept and building design through groundworks installation to the erection of a large workshop, with Giles and his team keeping matters firmly under control. Customers also value the guidance offered and the straightforward pricing given at quotation stage. The services on offer extend across excavation, concrete and civil engineering, landscaping, fencing, asphalt and plant hire, and the firm is repeatedly characterised as helpful and approachable from the very first enquiry.
