Groundworks

At PA Hollingworth & Co Ltd, we carry out most of our own groundworks using our own direct labour. It's important to start all projects as you mean to go on, so we maintain the same level of accuracy and quality of workmanship below ground as above.

Some specialist contractors are used by us in certain circumstances, but it should be noted we have a good, long-standing working relationship with those we use, and our supervisors ensure the high standard of finish remains a priority.
