Why our excavation support works well locally
Good for varied site tasks
Footings, drainage and general dig outs can all suit our setup.
Drawings used practically
We work from supplied details to keep the dig useful and tidy.
Smaller access considered
A mini digger can be ideal where space is limited or awkward.
Excavation support for careful building and site prep
Groundworks in Stratford-upon-Avon can involve anything from extension footings to drainage runs and general dig outs for landscaping or small development work. At M & M Man & Machine, we carry out mini digger excavation with an operator supplied, helping homeowners and developers who need accurate digging on sites where access is restricted or the work needs a tidy finish. With 40 years in the building trade, we understand how to follow drawings, keep trench lines consistent and leave the excavation ready for concrete, soakaways, services or other follow on tasks.


Details discussed early for a cleaner handover
We ask for the dig area, any footing dimensions or trench routes, access information, spoil plans and known services before setting a date. That helps Stratford-upon-Avon jobs run more smoothly and gives a clearer picture of what the excavation should achieve by the end of the visit. At M & M Man & Machine, we can handle one day digs or longer support, bringing our own mini digger to site and carrying out the work with the next phase of the project firmly in mind.
Frequently asked questions
Can you help with soakaways as well as drainage runs?
Yes. We can carry out soakaway excavation and drainage trenches where the project needs them, helping prepare the site for the next trade or agreed next step. If other trenching or footing work is linked to that, we can discuss the wider excavation plan too.
What makes a mini digger a good fit for this kind of work?
A mini digger is useful where access is limited, the work area is tight or the excavation needs to be controlled around existing features. With an operator supplied, it also helps the digging stay tidy and practical rather than becoming another part of the job you need to manage.
What should I have ready to help you scope the work?
Any drawings, trench routes, footing sizes, access details, known services and a spoil plan are all helpful. Clear information before the visit lets us understand the likely setup and gives you a more straightforward excavation process on the day.
