Groundworks in Stevenage & Hertfordshire – Done Right by ShellCo
From Soil to Slab — We Build the Base Right.
Shellco delivers complete groundworks packages for new builds, extensions, and structural installs — including site strip, levelling, foundation prep, and drainage. Every line dug, compacted, and set to spec.
We don’t just move muck. We plan, dig, level, and deliver the kind of base you can actually build on. Clean sites, correct levels, and a team that understands the job before the machine starts.
The ShellCo Way
Step 1: Site Strip & Clearance
We remove vegetation, debris, old foundations or obstructions and leave behind a clean, workable area.
Step 2: Reduced Dig & Level Control
We excavate to reduced dig levels, install pegs or lasers, and prep for footings, slabs, or insulation systems.
Step 3: Sub-Base & Compaction
MOT Type 1 or Type 3 compacted in layers with plate or roller — moisture levels and build-up thickness checked.
Step 4: Drainage & Oversite Prep
Foul and storm drainage installed to plans. DPM, insulation, ducting, and reinforcement mesh prepped before pour or beam.

We build to spec, not guesswork. Levels, invert depths, duct runs — we follow the plan like it matters, because it does.
Fast start dates. Good access. No waiting around for missed skips or mystery operators.
