Groundworks & foundations
Correct depths, compaction, and drainage set-outs protect everything above. We set out accurately, manage spoil and access, and leave a base ready for structure rather than a rushed slab that creates problems later.
Foundation to roof
Build
Structural build from the ground up
From groundworks and foundations through walls, structure, and a weathertight roof, COLESCRETE delivers the full build envelope under one accountable team across Surrey.
Overview
When you need more than a single trade, you need someone who understands how the building stands up, stays dry, and connects cleanly to everything that follows. We plan foundations, structural alterations, new builds and extensions, then take the fabric through to roofing and weathering so internal works are not waiting on a half-finished shell.
Scope
What this covers
- Site preparation, excavation and groundworks
- Foundations, footings and underpinning where required
- New builds, extensions and structural openings
- Load-bearing walls, steels and structural carpentry
- External walls, blockwork, brickwork and cladding interfaces
- Roof structures, coverings, flashings and weathering
- Drainage connections linked to the build programme
- Coordination with building control and structural engineers
Our approach
How we look after the build
We treat foundation-to-roof as one continuous programme, not a chain of handovers. Levels, openings, and roof details are set with kitchens, bathrooms, and outdoor works in mind, so later stages fit the structure rather than fighting it. You deal with one team for sequencing, site tidy, and progress updates from dig through to a dry building.
- One team accountable from dig to dry shell
- Fewer delays between groundworks, structure, and roofing
- Build details planned around later interiors and outdoor works
- Clear communication with homeowners and building control
In detail
What good looks like on this work
Structure & fabric
Walls, openings, and structural members are installed to agreed drawings. We keep interfaces clear for windows, doors, insulation, and finishes so internal and external works can follow without rework.
Roofing & weathering
A sound roof closes the programme’s critical path. Coverings, valleys, abutments, and flashings are finished so the building is protected and follow-on trades can work inside with confidence.
