I can't recommend Dan highly enough for any excavation work! He’s been handling all the digging and groundwork for my extensions, and every time, he goes above and beyond. Dan is incredibly professional, always arriving on time and ready to get to work. His attention to detail is second to none, ensuring everything is done to perfection, whether it’s for foundations, drainage, or any other excavation task. He makes sure the site is always clean and well-organized, which has been such a relief during construction. Not only is Dan skilled and efficient, but he’s also a great communicator, keeping me updated on progress and any issues that arise. If you’re looking for someone reliable, experienced, and easy to work with, Dan is your guy!

Dan is amazing on the diggers. Just tell him what you want and at what level and you are in safe hands. Clean and fast work which is hard to come by now in a tradesperson.
