Useful things to know

Your questions, answered.

How much do groundworks cost for an extension in Coventry?

Costs depend on the agreed scope, design and site conditions. Our building projects generally start from £5,000 upwards. A free site visit and our quantity surveyor’s cost plan support your quotation; this is not a service-specific starting price.

How deep do foundations need to be in Warwickshire?

Foundation depth depends on the site conditions and the project design. It should not be assumed from a general local rule. We manage the required building control inspections and sign-off for the agreed work.

Do you handle the removal of all the soil and waste?

We can discuss this at a free site visit and confirm whether the proposed work falls within our scope. The approach depends on the existing property and agreed specification. Our team coordinate the team, partner trades and any required building control inspections.

Can you install new drainage for a kitchen or bathroom?

What guarantee do you provide for foundations?

We always come back to put things right. If you have concerns about our workmanship after completion, contact one of the team during our opening hours to discuss them.

Do you offer emergency 24/7 drainage repairs?

Our opening hours are Monday to Friday 8am–5pm and Saturday 9am–1pm; we are closed on Sundays. For an urgent hazard, contact the relevant utility emergency service or an appropriate emergency contractor.

Where in Warwickshire do you provide groundworks services?

Contact one of the team to discuss your location and proposed work in Coventry and Warwickshire. Quotes and site visits are free, and our building projects generally start from £5,000 upwards.

What happens if you hit a pipe or cable during excavation?

Unexpected underground services need appropriate assessment before work continues. Any gas or electrical work is coordinated with the relevant utility provider or registered partner trades; Swift Build does not provide gas or electrical certification.
