Here at Lane & Skillen Ltd, we specialise in large-scale building projects across Newmarket and the surrounding region. One of our most popular services is land excavation and the laying of concrete foundations.
Essential to distribute the weight of buildings, foundations need to be custom-designed so they meet the exact needs of your project. Typically, the heavier the load, the deeper the foundations need to be.
Before any foundations can be laid, the plot must first be excavated. This is done using specialist diggers and excavator machines that make quick work of large volumes of earth, rock and debris.
Our team are highly experienced in earth-moving and foundations and has in-house specialists to make sure the work is carried out safely. Working within a 30-mile radius of our Newmarket location, we are proud to support commercial developers and local authorities with a variety of projects, including new housing estates, infrastructure and retail.
Drainage is an essential component of any new building project, providing water and wastewater management. It also plays a key role in protecting buildings and the environment. We are trusted to project manage drainage installations, in line with health and safety regulations.
Installing a new drainage system is a complex process that demands careful planning and the mapping of pipework across the building. We dig trenches for new and replacement drainage systems and carry out testing on each new build once the work is complete.
Ducting refers to the system of piping framework used for air flow and other utility services like electricity throughout a building. This is meticulous work that needs expert planning and execution to perform successfully. Whether it’s for wiring, fibre optics or gas installation, our ducting is of the highest standard and tailor-made to your project.
