From excavation to external works

Venom Contractors delivers groundworks packages for new builds, extensions and residential or commercial developments. We bring site clearance, reduced-level digs, foundations, concrete work and below-ground drainage together around your drawings and agreed programme. Tell us whether you need a defined package or support for a particular phase of the build.

Foundations, drainage and site access

Access for plant, existing services, ground levels and spoil removal affect how a job is planned. Share the site location, foundation drawings, drainage layout and any available ground information when requesting a quote. We can then review the scope and identify the information needed to price it, including interfaces with other trades.

An Exeter base, with regional coverage

We support groundworks in Exeter and East Devon, alongside projects across Devon and Somerset. Our coverage includes Plymouth, Torbay, North Devon and Taunton. Availability and mobilisation depend on the site, scope and programme; include your postcode and intended start date in your enquiry.

Before you get started

Do you undertake groundworks for house extensions?

Yes. Our scope includes excavation, extension foundations, associated drainage, substructures and making good. We work to the agreed drawings and specification; structural design and statutory approvals need to be established for the project.

Can drainage and retaining walls be included?

Yes. Foul and surface water drainage, soakaways, retaining walls and external works can form part of a groundworks package. Share the required design and scope so these can be considered together.

What do you need to quote for groundworks?

Send your site postcode, drawings or schedule of works, access details, target dates and any available ground investigation or services information. If the scope is still developing, explain the project so we can identify the next information needed.
