Groundworks Subcontractor for Main Contractors and Developers
Fully managed groundworks packages from £30k to £500k across Surrey and Hampshire
Groundworks Subcontractor in Surrey and Hampshire
Hardrock Groundworks is a groundworks subcontractor for main contractors and developers across Surrey, Hampshire, London and the South East.
We take on packages from £30k to £500k, and we can either manage the whole groundworks programme ourselves, or fully integrate into a Main Contractor's coordinated team.
From planning, supervision and delivery, site set-up through to handing over a site ready for the follow-on trades, Hardrock Groundworks starts the project strong.
Our founder, Jamie Campbell, spent 15 years in main contracting before setting up Hardrock, so we know what a main contractor needs from a groundworks package.

What Main Contractors Say
" I would 100% work with Jamie again. Very reliable groundworks contractor and willing to assist with resolving issues that came up on site. Dealing with costs was very transparent and a pleasure to work through. Communication throughout the job was all very good, both in person and on emails. There were numerous issues with drawing discrepancies, through no fault of their own, but the Hardrock team worked around these quickly and efficiently. "
