Why DAB Groundworks?
At Drainage And Building Groundworks our ground workers have more than 150+ years of combined experience in and around Swindon. We’ve worked for some of the biggest groundworks and civil engineering firms in the South West on major commercial projects — deep drainage, kerb laying, manholes and footings — as well as driveways, paving and patios for the public.
We work to the highest standards and are proud of everything we do, from the smallest path to the largest landscaping project.

Common questions
Do you cover my area?
We cover Swindon and out along the A419 corridor to Cirencester, Cheltenham and Gloucester, across to Oxford, the Cotswolds and down to Hungerford. If you’re nearby, just ask.
Can you give me a price over the phone?
For many smaller jobs, yes. For larger projects a surveyor will visit to quote accurately — both are free and no-obligation.
Do you work weekends?
Yes — we understand public and commercial work can mean time restrictions, so we’re happy to work weekends when it suits your patterns.
Are you insured and qualified?
Our team is CSCS registered, holds the relevant plant tickets and we’re fully insured.
