Excavator loading a dumper with muck

CommercialMuck shifting

Muck shifting contractors, Leeds & Yorkshire

Bulk dig, reduced levels and muck away for sites that need material moved — not a mini digger and a skip. We load out, stockpile for reuse, or take spoil off site.

What we do

  1. 01 /Bulk excavation to reduced level, including benches and batters where the drawings call for them.
  2. 02 /Cut and fill to balance the site where the design allows, so you are not paying to tip material you could reuse.
  3. 03 /Loading out to dumpers or tippers, and placing stockpiles where the site manager wants them.
  4. 04 /Muck away to a licensed tip, with the load recorded. We do not leave spoil on the verge or on a neighbouring field.
  5. 05 /Trimming to formation once the bulk is out, ready for the next trade or for our own drainage and concreting gang.

Typical clients

  1. 01 /Main contractors who need a groundworks subcontractor for the dig
  2. 02 /Housebuilders on plots and phases where reduced levels are still to do
  3. 03 /Developers stripping a site ahead of foundations
  4. 04 /Farmers and industrial clients with a yard, pond or building pad to dig

Typical projects

  1. 01 /Housing-plot reduced levels and plot strip
  2. 02 /Commercial building pads and car park digs
  3. 03 /Farm yards, tracks and attenuation ponds
  4. 04 /Basement and foundation bulk digs where access allows a larger machine

Plant used

  1. 01 /Excavators sized to the dig — larger machines for the bulk, smaller machines for trimming and tight access
  2. 02 /Dumpers to keep the dig moving between the face and the stockpile or the tipper
  3. 03 /Tippers for muck away — TODO: confirm whether these are own wagons or hired haulage

Still to confirm

  1. 01 /Which licensed tips you regularly use, and whether you supply waste transfer notes as standard.
  2. 02 /Own tippers versus hired haulage.
