Trenches dug to depth and line for extensions, garages, garden rooms and walls.
Skipton · North Yorkshire
Man and digger hire for footings, drainage, clearance and driveways in Skipton and Embsay, from an operator based just down the road in Ilkley.
Local to Skipton
Skipton and the Craven villages around it are a short run up the A65 from our base in Ilkley. We take on groundworks for homeowners, local builders, farms and smallholdings across the area.
We also cover Embsay, Carleton-in-Craven, Draughton, Bolton Abbey.
Skipton falls under North Yorkshire Council. Sort any approvals before the dig and we'll work from your drawings.

What we do
Trenches dug to depth and line for extensions, garages, garden rooms and walls.
Trenching for drains, soakaways, water, power and cable runs.
Stumps, rubble, old patios and overgrowth cleared ready for the next stage.
Excavation and levelling to formation, ready for sub-base.
Shaping and levelling gardens, ponds, terracing and bulk soil moving.
Rubble and soil taken away in our own skips, so there's no separate skip firm to book.
Machine & rates
Every hire in Skipton includes an experienced operator, so you get the work done rather than a machine to work out. We can take the rubble and soil away in our own skips too. We confirm the price before we book you in.

FAQs
