External drainage solutions

Assessment of the soil conditions for the pouring of concrete footings may reveal poor land drainage which requires sorting out before building work can commence.

Parkin Contractors are experts at analysing the causes of poor land drainage and can employ a number of strategies to improve the situation :

Land Drainage Solutions might include:
Underground Drainage Unblocking
Underground Drainage Cleaning
Underground Drainage Repairs
Underground Drainage Renewal
Construction of a new drainage system

Water-logged public or commercial land affecting Highways and pathways is tackled by assessing the causes of excess surface water and then planning and implementing a way of dispersing the water through appropriate drainage measures, whether that involves installing a new system, repairing the existing system or simply removing blockages and cleaning out the system.

Site Clearance

Generally undertaken as part of enabling works, to prepare a site for construction.

All types of waste will be removed legally, safely and efficiently. It may involve soil levelling and stabilisation as well as the construction of access roads.

Parkin Contractors are well placed to carry out these services for you.

Concrete footings

The expert pouring of concrete footings, both in terms of optimal location, depth and width is a key part of the building process. The concrete footings provide the proper support for the building foundations and the building structure.

Parkin Contractors have years of experience working across many locations with differing soil conditions. Accurate assessment of the soil conditions and the required footing dimensions is critical to keeping the foundations from settling.

Commercial Landscaping & tree services

With a team of highly skilled and experienced workers, Parkin Contractors provide excellent tree services for all of its customers. We are fully qualified for all tree work carried out, with professional indemnity, employer liability and public liability insurance.

Our tree services include carrying out tree felling, stump grinding, tree dismantling, tree pruning, hedge maintenance and site clearance

Tree Felling

This is normally done by dismantling a section of a tree at a time. Each tree is usually taken down to ground level or may be left as a high stump for the benefit of wildlife.

Tree Stump Removal

Mechanically removing a tree stump so that the ground can be re-used. This involves the use of a stump grinder (a portable power tool) that chips away at the wood to 30-45cm below ground level, using a rotating cutting disk.

Hedge Maintenance

Trimming off and removing new growth from the hedge, using petrol hedge trimmers to leave a neat edge.

Tree Maintenance

Get your trees checked annually for signs of disease or weakness. Removal of affected parts of a tree will reduce the risk of damage caused by falling branches and potentially extend the life of the tree and the benefits it provides.
