Wiltshire is a county of wide open landscapes, historic market towns and a significant defence presence, and it's a county that we know well. Based in nearby Andover on the Hampshire-Wiltshire border, we have been delivering groundworks, demolition, excavation and drainage services to clients across Wiltshire for over fifteen years, working on everything from rural residential projects and agricultural sites through to works on and around the county's major MOD establishments.
We're a family-run business, and that brings a particular kind of value in a county like Wiltshire. Where rural communities tend to favour contractors who are straightforward to deal with, know the local landscape and don't treat smaller or more remote projects as less worthy of attention. Every project we take on in Wiltshire, wherever it is in the county, gets the same level of care, expertise and professionalism.
Accredited. Experienced. Trusted.
From the market towns of Salisbury, Marlborough and Devizes to the villages of the Vale of Pewsey and the agricultural estates of the Wiltshire downland, we provide a full range of civil engineering and groundworks services to residential, rural and commercial clients across the county.
Whether you're planning a new build, an extension to a rural property or an agricultural structure, our experienced groundworks teams will prepare your site properly and ensure foundations are dug and laid to the right specification. Wiltshire's chalk downland and clay vale areas present distinct ground conditions, and our teams have the experience to work effectively across both.
From garden and foundation excavations on residential properties to larger scale earthmoving on agricultural land and commercial sites, we carry out excavation works across Wiltshire safely and efficiently. Rural projects often involve particular logistical considerations such as, access tracks, remote locations, sensitive field boundaries, and our team is well practised in managing all of these effectively.
Rural Wiltshire properties, particularly older farmhouses, cottages and estates frequently rely on private drainage systems that require specialist knowledge when problems arise or upgrades become necessary. We carry out new drainage installations, septic tank works, manhole and chamber works, and drainage repairs and upgrades for residential, agricultural and commercial clients across the county, always specifying the right solution for the site rather than a generic fix.
From long rural approach roads and working farm yards through to residential driveways and patio projects in Wiltshire's market towns, we deliver external works that are built to withstand the demands of the environment. We work with a range of materials and finishes to suit the character of the property, whether that's a traditional Wiltshire farmhouse or a modern rural development.

Wiltshire is home to one of the most significant concentrations of MOD activity in the United Kingdom. Salisbury Plain Training Area, Tidworth Garrison, Bulford Camp, Larkhill and the surrounding defence establishments represent a substantial and demanding environment for any contractor operating in the county. Purbeck Civil Engineering has direct experience of working across MOD sites in the region, delivering to the exacting standards of professionalism, safety and reliability that defence environments require.
That experience is not incidental to what we offer in Wiltshire, it is central to it. Clients across the county, whether in the public sector, the defence supply chain or the private residential market, can draw confidence from a contractor whose standards have been tested in some of the most demanding working environments in the South of England.

Andover sits directly on the Hampshire-Wiltshire border, which means much of Wiltshire including Salisbury, Tidworth, Amesbury and the villages of the southern Plain, is within easy reach of our base in Andover. We understand the county, its rural character and the practical realities of working across its more remote locations.
We welcome enquiries from homeowners, landowners, farmers, developers and commercial clients across Wiltshire, and will always approach your project with the same commitment to quality and honesty that has underpinned our reputation since 2008.
