About the company

Wilsons Ground Works was founded in 2009 and is based in the Chew Valley, just outside Bristol. The company operates as a general groundwork and demolition contractor for the South West. It serves Bristol and the surrounding areas, and the South West of England. The company handles both domestic and commercial groundworks projects.

It provides groundworks, demolition, concreting, screened topsoil, site clearance, and aggregates. A free site survey is offered, along with free no-obligation quotes. The company has grown from one single machine to a wide range of equipment. The team leaves the site tidy and safe at the end of each day, and reinstates the site completely when leaving at the end of the job.

What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Wilsons Ground Works carries out groundwork and demolition, and the accounts left by customers repeatedly highlight the range of jobs handled. Reviewers describe demolition, dig-outs, underground drainage, footings and concrete slabs, alongside hard standing for yards, clearing and clay lining of an overgrown lake, and groundwork linked to solar panel installation. Nick and his team are named often, with praise for their professionalism and for finishing on schedule and within the agreed budget, including a hospital project taken on at short notice.

One thing mentioned again and again is that plans were adjusted after site visits, and those changes were absorbed without holding up progress. Tidiness runs through the feedback, with sites cleared each day and the correct machine selected for each task, such as forming a large slab where lane access was tight. Customers also describe friendly and reliable workers, pricing that felt fair, and a quick return to put right an issue that appeared after the invoice, resolved thoroughly rather than skimped. Nick himself is credited with knowledge and expertise that gave clients confidence throughout.

Wilsons Ground works did a great job for us with late notice. Working on a hospital project, we were on a tight timescale and they didn't let us down. After a couple of site visits with Nick and a few alterations to the original plan, all went well and we completed on time and in budget. Thanks to Nick and the boys. Definitely recommend Nick and his team.

Excellent, friendly and conscientious service. We had an issue that only became apparent after the invoice was paid yet it was quickly and effectively remedied with no corners cut. Highly recommend.

As a local company to Wilson’s ground works we have always found there pricing very competitive and there workmanship top notch, Nick the Owner has always been very informative and provided us with job updates and transparent pricing throughout the works being carried out. Would recommend for all your groundwork needs.

We’ve had numerous projects over the years done by Wilsons, helping to clear out an old overgrown lake and clay line it, plus hard standing work for the yard and solar panels. Great team, pleasure to work with and always super professional.

After being in the building profession as a property developer for over 30 years I cant state how bad my experience with Nick Wilson has been. I am still trying to work out if he is a conman or just completely incompetent, but whatever please avoid at all costs. I have been told that this is why locals do not use him. Dreadful

I used Nick and the team for a demolition, dig out, underground drainage, footings and slab. The job was done professionally and on time. I have already given Nick the details for the next job....would definitely recommend!
