Testimonials

Richard Burgess

We had a new tank installed by DT Groundworks and the service, product and price were superb. Great communication from the office as well.

Janet Hunter

Extremely happy with the company. Friendly professional team, they installed our new septic tank with minimum disruption and always replied to our telephone and email queries the same day. Would definitely recommend them.

Nicky Titley

We instructed Dan to carry out a survey of a septic tank for a house we were buying. He saved us thousands picking up on an issue with the system another surveyor had missed. Very knowledgeable and professional. He has since carried out Groundworks on a self build we ended up buying. Excellent work, brilliant lads. Will use them again.

Gordon Green

Dan's team, Tim and Steve have just completed the installation of our Sewage Treatment Plant. All went extremely well and the job was completed within three days, a remarkable achievement. All was left clean and tidy on completion and we would have no hesitation of recommending them to any prospective clients who are intending to do similar work.
