Testimonials

Richard Burgess

We had a new tank installed by DT Groundworks and the service, product and price were superb. Great communication from the office as well.

Janet Hunter

Extremely happy with the company. Friendly professional team, they installed our new septic tank with minimum disruption and always replied to our telephone and email queries the same day. Would definitely recommend them.

Nicky Titley

We instructed Dan to carry out a survey of a septic tank for a house we were buying. He saved us thousands picking up on an issue with the system another surveyor had missed. Very knowledgeable and professional. He has since carried out Groundworks on a self build we ended up buying. Excellent work, brilliant lads. Will use them again.

Gordon Green

Dan's team, Tim and Steve have just completed the installation of our Sewage Treatment Plant. All went extremely well and the job was completed within three days, a remarkable achievement. All was left clean and tidy on completion and we would have no hesitation of recommending them to any prospective clients who are intending to do similar work.

Della Wilson

Booked a survey with DT groundwork’s, very friendly and approachable, survey was for a septic tank on a house I am purchasing, Dan carried out the survey within 2 days and I had the report within 2 days, all in all great service and will definitely use them again for future work. Highly recommended.

Sarah Simpson


Can highly recommend DT Groundworks. We needed a survey and report on a septic tank. We had a scheduled visit within 2 days and the detailed report followed within a further 2 working days. Highly professional, approachable and efficient service. Would certainly use again and will be my first point of contact for any future work we require. Regards Sarah.

Complete Muck Away & Spoil Removal Solutions

Bulk Waste, Earth, Clay, Spoil & Site Clearance Services

As a trusted muck away company, we support sites of all sizes, from major earthworks moving hundreds of tonnes per day to smaller site clearances with limited access. Our services include:

  • Bulk muck shifts and spoil removal

  • Full site clearance for construction projects

  • Cut and fill works to balance earth volumes

  • Disposal of inert, non-hazardous and contaminated soils

We handle the excavation, loading, transport, compliance, and tipping — so you can keep your project on schedule and within regulation.

Inert Spoil Removal

We specialise in the removal of inert spoil non-contaminated excavation waste such as clay, chalk, sand, stone, and subsoil. These materials are classed as “inert” because they don’t undergo physical, chemical or biological changes once disposed of. By using our muck away wagons and grab lorries, we can clear inert spoil quickly and cost-effectively, ensuring your project remains compliant and your site stays clear for the next phase of works.

Site Clearance Services

We provide full site clearance and muck away services for commercial and industrial projects of all scales. From stripping topsoil to clearing spoil, rubble or vegetation, our team ensures your site is ready for the next phase of development.

With our grab hire fleet, 8-wheeler muck away lorries and excavators, we can scale up to 700 tonnes of spoil per day or handle smaller loads of 16 tonnes at a time all depending on your site needs.

Cut and Fill Works

Alongside muck away, we provide cut and fill works to balance ground levels and reduce waste. By excavating (“cut”) soil from higher areas and re-using it to raise lower sections (“fill”), we reduce import/export costs and deliver a more sustainable, compliant solution.

  • Bulk muck away and spoil removal

  • Grab lorry muck away services (16 tonnes)

  • 8-wheeler muck away lorries for bulk shifts
