Cambridge sits on flat fenland clay. Excellent for cycling, problematic for drainage. The city has some of the most restrictive planning in England due to Green Belt, conservation areas covering the historic core, and the Colleges acting as major landowners. New development is pushed to the fringes: Northstowe, Waterbeach, and the Biomedical Campus expansion.
Laboratory and clean-room fit-outs on the Science Park and Biomedical Campus. Period property renovation in the conservation area (lime mortar pointing, traditional timber repairs). Drainage solutions on the flat clay. Soakaways rarely work, so pump stations and attenuation tanks are common. New-build housing on former agricultural land requiring significant groundworks.
We source your equipment from local hire partners across Cambridge and deliver it kerbside. No trade account, no credit checks, no depot visits.
