Operational Radius:
The Golden Triangle
Groundworks
From our headquarters in Staffordshire, Tilsley Groundworks is perfectly positioned to serve the "Golden Triangle" of logistics and development. We provide comprehensive groundworks and civil engineering services across the West Midlands, Derbyshire, and Leicestershire.
Because we own our fleet of Volvo heavy plant and transport vehicles, we are not restricted by local hire-shop availability. We can mobilize our heavy earthmoving teams to Lichfield, Tamworth, Sutton Coldfield, and Birmingham within 24 hours. For larger commercial frameworks and site enablement contracts, our operational radius extends nationwide, supported by our heavy haulage logistics network.
Key Service Locations:
Groundworks Lichfield & Tamworth
Civil Engineering Derby & Burton
Drainage Repairs Sutton Coldfield & Walsall
Our Estimating Standard
Groundworks Quote
We understand that accurate pricing is the difference between a profitable project and a commercial headache. Whether you are a Quantity Surveyour needing a Bill of Quantities (BoQ) or a homeowner needing a fixed-price quote for a pool, our process is rigorous.
Commercial
Take-Offs
For commercial enquiries, our estimating team utilizes the latest digital take-off software to analyze your CAD drawings and ground investigation reports. We provide detailed breakdowns for cut-and-fill volumes, drainage lengths, and concrete pours. Our quotes are fully transparent, clearly itemizing plant, labor, and materials so you can compare us like-for-like against other sub-contractors.

Residential
Site Visits
For private projects, we rarely quote "blind" over the phone. Groundworks are unpredictable. By booking a Site Consultation, allows us to check critical logistics: Is the garden gate wide enough for our 750mm micro-digger? Is the ground clay or sand? Are there hidden service pipes? This attention to detail ensures that the price we quote is the price you pay, with no hidden "unforeseen" charges later.


Urgent Drainage or Subsidence Issue?
Drainage collapses, septic tank failures, and subsidence cracks rarely happen at convenient times. If you have an emergency that threatens your property, do not wait for a quote form.
Because we own our machinery, we are not reliant on 9-to-5 hire depots. We can mobilize equipment to handle deep excavation repairs 24/7. Use our emergency line or WhatsApp channel for immediate triage.
General Enquiries
For supplier introductions, recruitment, or general questions not related to active tenders.
Head Office & Depot
Our central hub houses our administrative team, estimating department, and our plant maintenance facility. Clients are welcome to visit by appointment to view our fleet capabilities or discuss upcoming projects.

Contact & Tendering FAQ
Do you charge for residential site consultations?
Do you charge for residential site consultations?
For standard residential projects within a 15-mile radius of our Staffordshire HQ (e.g., Lichfield, Tamworth), initial site consultations are free of charge. For complex investigations or locations further afield, a small deposit may be required, which is fully refundable against the final project cost.
How quickly can you start on site?
How quickly can you start on site?
This is our key advantage. Because we own our Volvo fleet, we are not at the mercy of the rental market. For emergency works, we can often mobilize the same day. For commercial tenders, our typical lead time from contract award to site mobilization is 1-2 weeks, depending on the scale of the site enablement required.
Are you fully insured?
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We carry £10M Employers Liability and £5M Public Liability insurance. We are also fully accredited by CHAS and SMAS Worksafe, ensuring we meet the compliance standards for all Tier 1 and commercial sites.
