Rated 5 out of 5

Dorrington Groundworks completely transformed our waterlogged garden. Their team installed a comprehensive drainage system and prepared the foundations for our extension. Professional from start to finish, and their SMAS accreditation gave us complete peace of mind on safety standards.

We've worked with Dorrington on three commercial projects now. Their attention to detail and understanding of Hampshire regulations is exceptional. The team completed our 50-space car park ahead of schedule and within budget. Couldn't recommend them more highly.

Dorrington cleared and levelled a challenging sloped site for our self-build project. Their experience really showed - they identified drainage issues we hadn't spotted and sorted them before they became problems. Local knowledge made all the difference.

Needed a reinforced concrete base for industrial equipment installation. Dorrington's civil engineering expertise was evident throughout. They handled all the technical specifications perfectly and their health & safety standards were impeccable. True professionals.

Complex rural site with specific environmental requirements. Dorrington handled everything including permissions and regulations. Their 25+ years of experience really counted - they knew exactly what would work for our property. Fantastic service.

Proper groundworks are the foundation of every successful build. Investing in quality drainage, foundations, and site preparation now prevents costly problems like subsidence, flooding, and structural failure down the line — saving you thousands in repairs and remedial work.

Health, Safety & Wellbeing

At Dorrington Groundworks, we take our responsibility for health and safety extremely seriously. We have invested heavily in specialist training and dedicated software to help keep everyone safe — both on site and in the office. Our recent SMAS accreditation demonstrates our commitment to maintaining the highest standards of safety, staff wellbeing, and continual business improvement.

We also recognise that wellbeing extends beyond the workplace. Two years ago, we partnered with Bupa to provide all employees, their partners, and children over 16 with free, 24/7 confidential support. This service offers professional advice and guidance on a wide range of issues, including financial concerns, bereavement, substance misuse, and mental health. All our sites display posters with the free helpline number, and information leaflets are distributed during induction to ensure everyone knows how to access support.
