Groundworks for Hertfordshire utility and infrastructure sites
Hertfordshire and the East of England have major utility infrastructure, water treatment, energy assets and steady commercial construction. These sites come with strict access, permit and compliance requirements that not every contractor can meet. Working near live utilities and on water sector sites needs EUSR qualified people and proper supervision. We understand the standards utility clients demand and work to them.

Common questions
Questions about Groundworks in Hertfordshire
Answers to the questions we are asked most.
How much do groundworks cost in Hertfordshire?
Groundworks pricing depends heavily on ground conditions, scope and site access. Utility and commercial projects are priced against drawings and specification rather than a flat rate. We survey first and provide a clear breakdown so there are no hidden costs.
Do you charge to visit and price a project?
No charge to visit and assess. Chris comes out to review the site, the drawings and the constraints before pricing the works.
Can you work on utility and water sector sites?
Yes. We hold Achilles UVDB, EUSR and SafeContractor, which are required for utility-sector contracts. Our team works to the safe systems and permit requirements that water, energy and utility clients across Hertfordshire demand.
How long do groundworks projects take?
It depends on scope and ground conditions. Small civils packages take a week or two, while larger utility or commercial groundworks run several weeks. We agree the programme at mobilisation and keep you updated throughout.
What accreditations does Hummerston hold?
We hold Achilles UVDB, SafeContractor and EUSR qualifications. These are the registers and certifications utility clients require for supply chain approval, health and safety and water sector work across Hertfordshire and the East of England.
Which areas do you cover?
Based in Buntingford, we cover Hertfordshire, Cambridgeshire, Essex, Bedfordshire and the wider East of England. We travel to utility, water treatment, energy and commercial sites across the region.
