Built For Programme

Clearance that keeps your programme moving

Site clearance is the first thing on a build programme and the easiest to derail. Subcontracted machinery, surprise tip fees and an undiscovered TPO can cost you weeks.

We run our own Unimog, tracked harvester, forwarder and mulcher fleet, so we mobilise on our own timetable — not a hire company's. Method statements, risk assessments and £10m insurance come with the quote, not after it.

Trees and timber with value are felled, extracted and offset against your bill; the rest is chipped or mulched on site so you're not paying to cart and tip twenty tonnes of green waste.

Common Questions

Before you call

What does your site clearance include? +

Vegetation and tree clearance, scrub and bramble removal, stump grinding or grubbing where needed, and chipping or mulching on site. We leave the plot level, workable and ready for your groundworkers. Demolition and muck-away we'll coordinate but don't self-deliver.

Do you work for developers and main contractors? +

Yes — a large share of our clearance work is for housebuilders, groundworks firms, civils contractors and planning consultants across Surrey, London and the South East. We can work to programme, provide RAMS and insurance up front, and invoice against stage.

Can you handle protected trees (TPOs) or a felling licence? +

Yes. We check for Tree Preservation Orders, conservation-area status and felling-licence thresholds before any work and manage the applications for you, so the site stays compliant and your programme doesn't stall.

How fast can you mobilise? +

Free site survey within 48 working hours and, for cleared programmes, we can usually mobilise our own fleet within days rather than weeks — because we don't subcontract the machinery.

Which areas do you cover? +

Surrey, Greater London, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire and the wider South East.
