Welcome to Lane & Skillen Ltd –trusted specialists in civil engineering and groundworks. With almost four decades of industry experience, we deliver high-quality groundwork, construction, and demolition projects across Bury St Edmunds and beyond.
As a SMAS-accredited contractor, we offer a comprehensive range of services, including site clearance, land grading and levelling, foundations, hard landscaping, drainage systems, ducting, and foul water and SuDS solutions.
We recognise the importance of reliability and peace of mind for our clients. That’s why we oversee every stage of the project, ensuring a smooth, efficient process from initial planning through to completion.
The purpose of foundations is to safely distribute the weight of a building, making it essential that they are designed and installed to suit the project’s exact specifications. Typically, heavier structures will require deeper foundations.
Excavation is the first step in this process. Using dedicated diggers and excavator equipment, large volumes of ground material, including soil, rock, and debris, are removed quickly and efficiently.
Site clearance and hardscaping are key services we offer to prepare land for construction. This process includes the removal of waste materials, tree roots, and debris, as well as checking soil conditions and achieving a level surface.
Operating across Bury St Edmunds and the wider Suffolk area within a 30-mile radius, our team uses both manual techniques and specialist equipment to carry out this work efficiently. As CHAS and SMAS-accredited contractors, we provide dependable, high-quality services designed to support the successful progression of your project.
