Expert Groundworks in Totton and Southampton
Aline Construction provides expert groundworks services in Totton, Hampshire, and across the New Forest region. As professional groundwork contractors, we specialise in delivering high-quality foundations, bespoke drainage solutions, and precise site clearance for both domestic and commercial projects. Whether you are laying the base for a new home extension or preparing a site for a new build, our team brings technical precision and local knowledge to every project. Serving an area within 30 miles of our Southampton base, we understand the specific clay and soil conditions often found in the Test Valley and New Forest fringe, ensuring your footings are built for long-term stability. Our commitment to excellence is backed by our NVQ Level 2 qualifications, Triple SDS accreditation, and Blue Skilled Worker CSCS cards, ensuring that every excavation or sub-base we lay adheres to strict safety and building control standards.
How Our Professional Groundworks Process Works
Our process begins with comprehensive site clearance, where we use professional plant machinery to remove debris and prepare the land for work. We conduct bulk excavation to your project specifications, ensuring that the ground is perfectly level and ready for the next stage. Following this, we manage all trenching and drainage requirements, including the installation of foul drainage and storm water systems. We are experts in installing compliant soakaways that manage surface water effectively in line with local regulations. The final step of our groundwork process focuses on foundations and oversite concrete. We ensure accurate depths for strip or trench-fill footings, install damp proof membranes, and place reinforcement rebar where structural engineering dictates. By managing the full sequence of groundwork—from muck-away to the final concrete pour—we provide a stable, solid base for your building project.

Who We Are
The Benefits of Choosing Aline Construction
The structural integrity of any building depends entirely on the quality of the groundworks beneath it. Getting it wrong at the start can lead to costly structural failures, damp issues, or settlement in the future. By choosing Aline Construction, you gain the peace of mind that comes from a right-first-time approach. Our team is highly experienced in navigating the logistical challenges of residential construction, including sites with restricted access. We utilise micro and mini-digger capabilities to ensure we can complete complex excavations in tight urban spaces without causing disruption to your property. Furthermore, as a full-service construction firm, our groundworks team integrates seamlessly with our bricklayers and general builders. This streamlined transition ensures your project schedule stays on track, as we move efficiently from footings to the brickwork and superstructure phases.

Navigating Local Compliance and Building Regulations
Groundworks are subject to rigorous oversight by local authorities, including New Forest District Council and Southampton City Council. We take the stress out of the regulatory process by ensuring all our work fully complies with UK Building Regulations. This includes adherence to Part A for structural integrity and Part H for drainage and waste disposal. In areas where heavy clay soil is prevalent, we prioritise correct drainage design to prevent water pooling and structural heave. We also strictly follow SUDS (Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems) requirements for new driveways and large paved areas, ensuring your project meets local environmental standards for water runoff. We handle the technical details, so you can be confident that your project will pass building control inspections without delay.

Answers to common questions about our Groundworks Services in Totton
How deep do my foundations need to be?
The depth depends on your specific soil type and the weight of the building you are planning. In many parts of Totton, we have to dig deeper if there are large trees nearby or if the clay content is high. We always follow the specific depths set out by your structural engineer or the local building control officer.
Do I need to move my existing drains for an extension?
It is quite common to find existing pipes exactly where you want to build. We can often bridge over these with reinforced concrete or relocate the drainage lines entirely. We will assess this during our initial site visit and include it in your quote.
How long does the groundworks phase take?
For a standard house extension, the groundworks—including site clearance, digging, and pouring foundations—usually take between one and two weeks. This can change based on the weather and what we find once we start digging. We always keep you updated on the timeline.
Can you install a concrete base for a garden room or home office?
Yes, we specialise in concrete bases for outbuildings. We make sure the ground is excavated, levelled, and a sub-base is compacted before pouring the concrete to prevent cracking or sinking over time.
What happens if you find something unexpected underground?
It is rare, but sometimes we find old foundations or unknown utility pipes. Because we are experienced groundworks contractors, we know how to handle these situations safely. We will stop, talk to you about the options, and find the most cost-effective way to move forward.
