Groundworks and drainage from one local team

Elliott & Sons Groundworks provides practical, reliable support for projects of all sizes, from excavation, footings and concrete bases to blocked drains, CCTV surveys, drainage repairs and new installations.

Because our groundworks and drainage services work together, we can manage jobs that require excavation, repair and reinstatement without leaving you to coordinate several different contractors. You receive one clear point of contact and a team that understands the complete job from the ground up.

We work with homeowners, landlords, builders, property professionals and commercial customers across Plymouth and nearby areas. Every enquiry starts with a straightforward conversation about the work, access and timescale, followed by a clear quotation.
