Highlights
“Grace Groundworks have just finished landscaping my garden, with a new patio, lawn and fencing (the fencing was partly all-new and partly new panels in existing concrete posts, as I requested). I am extremely pleased with quality of the materials and workmanship, and the overall finished result. The owner of the company, Liam Fell, is a thoroughly decent guy, dedicated to customer-service, highly skilled and professional in his approach. He was very communicative, and happy to spend time discussing the finer details to give me exactly the result I wanted. The same was true of his two employees who did the fencing work. Liam is a bit of a perfectionist and he paid particular attention to getting the drainage of the patio correct to protect the walls of the house and garage. At the end of the project, everything was cleaned and tidied, and the site was left immaculate. This is the second time I’ve used Grace Groundworks, and I would very highly recommend them.”
“Liam and his partner worked tirelessly on a very hot day, and did a very neat, professional job of replacing our broken drain, and re-tarmacking part of the driveway. They were very friendly to have around, and throughout the lead-up to the job being done, Liam was very communicative and helpful. Lovely job. Thank you!”
“Liam repaired and formed a new channel in a shared sewer. Not an easy job in confined circumstances but done professionally and with excellent results. All flowing nicely again - thank you.”

From my first telephone call with Liam Fell, through his first site visit to talk options, and detailed quote, I was very impressed with this Company on a project that most of us rarely have to do so you rely on your instincts. Their Website looked good and with the go ahead given a lot of hard work was completed over 4 days to halve a wide concrete path, dig up the 18 metre stretch down the the old pipework, put in a new drain from the bathroom , refill trenches and resurface with shingle or concrete. The experienced team really gave me confidence, were on time every day and delivered a working system again whilst giving every consideration to my elderly mum who has lived there for nearly 64 years. So a big thank you to Liam, Terry and Paul who worked on site and Shaun back in the office for prompt invoicing and confirming of payments made. Grace Goundworks Ltd met and exceeded my expectations.
After continuing blocked drains and a cctv survey we were advised that our underground foul drainage pipe had collapsed due to ground movement. Grace Groundworks rectified our problem quickly without causing any disruption and no mess. Our block paved driveway was put back exactly how it was too. Couldn’t recommend enough.

Liam and his team fixed the drainage issues at my house promptly and efficiently. We had a failing soakaway which caused my garden to basically turn into a small pond due to recent heavy downpours. They installed a new modern soakaway crating system. Which works perfectly. They were very tidy clean polite and very presentable. I will definitely be using Grace Groundworks & construction Ltd in the future for any Groundworks projects.

I can’t recommend Grace Groundworks & Construction Ltd enough. They recently redesigned and installed a new surface water Drainage System with large soakaway. They also repaired over 300m2 of concrete reinforced bays at our stables where we had drainage issues and the concrete had broken up overtime. Liam and his team exceeded expectations and delivered everything on time and within budget. Great lads will definitely be using them for future projects.
I had noticed a dip forming in my block paving around the manhole on my driveway. Eventually, it got so bad that my drains started to back up. I contacted three companies, and Grace Groundworks was the quickest to respond. Liam came out the very next day for a site visit, and he took the time to explain that the drain had collapsed, which was causing the issues. He provided a reasonable quote and detailed the work required, which included digging up the area, fixing the drain, and reinstating the block paving. Liam and his team were punctual, professional, and left my property clean and tidy
I had been noticing my block paving driveway dipping around the manhole cover for quite some time. As it got worse, I started experiencing drainage issues, with the drains backing up. After contacting three companies, only two turned up, and Grace Groundworks was the first to respond. Liam came the very next day to assess the situation and provided a clear explanation of the problem—a collapsed drain that needed urgent repair. His quote was not only the quickest but also very reasonable. Liam and his team worked efficiently to dig up the area, repair the drain, and rebuild the brick chamber. They also restored the block paving, leaving the driveway level and tidy. The whole process was smooth, and I couldn't be happier with the result. I highly recommend Grace Groundworks for their professionalism and excellent work.
Overall the work carried out by Liam and Shaun was very good, aligned with what was agreed and they were able to complete the job within one day. With the rain we have had since the extra drainage put in seems to be doing its job. Shaun is a very experienced digger driver which was needed in our case due to the different levels involved and tight spaces. They kept site as clean as possible, including cleaning up when completing the job, but obviously difficult with the amount of mud and rain around at the time.
I chose Grace Groundworks & Construction to replace a failing soakaway in my back garden. The service I received from making an initial enquiry right through to having the work done was timely, polite and extremely professional and I would highly recommend this company to anyone who is looking to have similar work done.
Absolutely delighted with the professional way in which Liam and his team carried out foundation works for our new garage block and additional block paving on our driveway. Liam’s work was of high quality, and even with a large amount of spoil to remove, there was little disruption. The site was always left tidy which further highlighted his professionalism. Work was completed to schedule and within budget. Thank you Liam best wishes roger patey
Professional Groundwork Business who went over and above to complete our Groundworks. Great eye for detail and delivered to what was asked in the time scales agreed to the prices quoted. Would use again.
Liam and his crew did a perfect job on our driveway which included some work on our sewer system which was causing us problems. Afterwards a problem with our rainwater downpipe and soakaway was highlighted, so we had no hesitation in asking Liam to rectify the problem which he did to the same high standards of the company's previous work on our drive.
I have worked with many contractors before and been left disappointed however Liam and his team were faultless, a breath of fresh air.
