You do the work. We make you look professional.
Before a customer hires you, your quote is one of the few things they see. A text with a number in it says “bloke with a van”. A proper quote says “business that’s done this before” — and that’s what makes a £2,000 job comfortable to say yes to.

No breakdown, no terms, no way to say yes. “Have a think” usually means they’re getting two more numbers.

How groundworkers usually price a job
Per m³ of dig, per m² of slab, per linear metre of footing or drain. Plant hire is its own reality — a mini-digger day can dwarf the labour. Never day-rate a foundation package unless the drawings are still a sketch. Muck-away is priced per tonne or per grab.
- Excavate and muck away£95.00/m³£60.00–£150.00
- Strip foundation — dig, concrete, labour£130.00/m£90.00–£190.00
- Concrete slab, 100–150mm, supply and lay£85.00/m²£45.00–£100.00
- Foul drain run, 100mm, including bedding£120.00/m£80.00–£180.00
