Groundworks in North Lanarkshire
Groundworks across North Lanarkshire — site strip, foundations, drainage and concrete works for extensions, new builds and small developments.
Local knowledge, local standards
North Lanarkshire covers a lot of ground — Cumbernauld, Airdrie, Coatbridge, Motherwell, Wishaw, Bellshill, Kilsyth, Shotts and everywhere between — and ground conditions change noticeably across it, from clay in the north to old mine-worked ground further south.
That variation is exactly why we survey before we price. Depths, drainage and sub-base build-up get set to the ground in front of us, not a standard spec copied from the last job.
We're a North Lanarkshire firm working almost entirely within the council area, which keeps travel costs out of your quote and lets us get back quickly if you ever need us.

Why North Lanarkshire homeowners choose us
One team, start to finish
The same crew that digs the ground lays the finish. No handing your job to a stranger halfway through, no gaps in accountability.
Built on the bits you can't see
Full excavation, correct sub-base depths, membrane, drainage and edge restraint. The reason our work is still flat and draining years later.
Fixed written quotes
You get an itemised price after a site visit — materials, depths and timescales in writing. No day-rate creep and no surprise extras.
Fully insured, tidy sites
Public liability cover, waste removed under licence, and the site swept at the end of every day. Neighbours notice that sort of thing.

“Would highly recommend RBL Contracts — my back garden was an absolute mess before Brian worked his magic on it. I absolutely love it, it's so clean. Here's to more sunny days enjoying our new back garden. Brian went above and beyond.”

What size of project do you take on?
From a single extension footing through to multi-plot developer groundworks. If a job is outside what we can deliver properly, we'll say so rather than stretch ourselves thin.
Do you handle muck-away and disposal?
Yes — excavated material is removed under licence with waste transfer documentation, and we can import type-1 and capping where the ground needs building back up.
How is groundwork priced?
On a measured basis after a site survey: dig volumes, disposal, materials, drainage runs and concrete. You get an itemised quote, and any variation is agreed in writing before it's carried out.
As well as North Lanarkshire, we carry out groundworks in Motherwell, Wishaw, Bellshill, Shotts, Coatbridge and the surrounding areas. If you're not sure whether you're in our patch, give us a call — we'll tell you straight.
