I called Urban Reactive to look at a blocked soil pipe with suspected root intrusion. Luke was able to give me a good idea of cost over the phone, and had a team out to me at my earliest convenience. The guys gave me lots of information about what they were looking at and talked me through how best to resolve it. It was all very transparent and informative and they went ahead and fixed the problem with a resin casing, and showed me a video on completion. Everything is working fine again within the day and I'll be sure to call them again if I have any other problems with my drainage system.

I never thought I’d need a ‘drain man’, but having bought an aging house that had stood empty for a while and was in need of refurbishment, I found I did. Luke and his team have kept my system going whilst preparing for the build. They are knowledgable, efficient and quickly responsive in an emergency. They will be my drain company of choice when I refurbish my home. If you need a go-to drain company, Urban-Reactive are the best! Highly recommended.

I cannot recommend Urban Reactive too highly. They delivered on time, to budget and to a really high standard, a new driveway at the front of my home. This required extensive works, including the removal of a large volume of concrete, new drainage and the creation of garden space. Everyone involved was truly a pleasure to deal with, unfailingly tidy, and very considerate. Having been recently widowed I was nervous about carrying out works alone - they made the process a pleasure.

A very professional service. Quick response to our enquiry. Peace of mind to have our old drains checked with up to date technology. We were able to get repairs done without digging up our driveway. Highly recommended

Very professional, efficient and friendly service at a competitive rate. The response to my enquiry was very quick and the information provided was clear and easy to understand. The team arrived on the day and time quoted and ensured I was advised on what they were doing at every stage of the job. They were very polite and left the work area clean and tidy. I would not hesitate to use them again and recommend them to anyone else.

Sewer pipe blocked on 1st Jan and a well-known national company came out and jetted it but did not put a camera down and it blocked again days later. Insurance company sent another big company out who put a camera down, told me that the problem was tree roots but did not fix it. Urban-reactive came out, got rid of the roots and then came back a couple of weeks later to repair the pipe and raise manholes above the patio. Did a very nice job.

This is an exceptional company, Luke is extremely knowledgeable and works with you to come up with a solution. His team is professional and reliable. My experience of Urban-Reactive was excellent, both in undertaking the survey and delivery of a solution. I can’t recommend them highly enough.

Great job carried out by Urban Reactive today. Damp living room wall caused by blocked gully on roof & blocked downpipe & drain full of roots. Blockage cleared,drain rebuilt with concrete & brick surround.All debris taken away. The lads were very respectful of my property whilst carrying out some of the work via a velux window in loft bedroom.
Very reliable,would highly recommend.

Groundworks in Chester

Reliable groundworks form the foundation of every successful building project. Our Groundworks service in Chester provides homeowners, landlords, and developers with a safe, efficient start to any construction or drainage project. We handle everything from site clearance to foundations, concrete slabs, utility ducting and trenchless installations, so your project moves forward without delays.

Site Clearance and Preparation

Every project begins with a clean and stable site. We clear vegetation, waste, old surfaces and unsuitable soil to create a space ready for construction or drainage work. Our team completes this quickly and safely, providing a solid starting point and preventing issues later.

Concrete Slab Installation

A strong concrete slab is essential for sheds, garages, extensions and outbuildings. We install level, reinforced slabs that withstand years of use. Each slab is prepared and poured accurately, providing a reliable base for your project.

Footings and Foundation Works

Good foundations protect the structure above them. We dig, prepare and pour footings for extensions, new builds and garden rooms across Chester. The work is carried out to the correct depth and specification for your soil conditions, giving the building long-term stability.

Trenchless Excavation Services

When traditional digging is impractical, trenchless installation is an excellent option. This method allows us to install pipes and ducts with minimal disruption to gardens, driveways and finished surfaces. It is ideal for running new utilities or replacing damaged ones without major excavation.

Utility Ducting and Water Main Installation

Modern homes often require new ducting for electric lines, fibre connections or water supplies. We install underground ducting systems and lay new water mains for property upgrades or new builds. Our team works with precision to ensure the utilities remain protected for years to come.

Sewer Connection Services

Connecting a property to the main sewer requires precise work and full compliance with local regulations. We manage the entire process, from excavation to final approval, ensuring your property is connected safely and correctly.

Retaining Wall Construction

Sloped gardens or areas with loose soil often require additional support. We build retaining walls that prevent soil movement and create usable space. Each wall is constructed to handle the pressure behind it and to blend with the surrounding area.

Ground Stabilisation and Reinforcement

Some sites need additional stabilisation before work can begin. We reinforce soft or uneven ground using modern techniques that improve strength and prevent future settlement. This keeps your foundations reliable and protects your investment.

Complete Groundworks Support in Chester

If you need help with groundworks in Chester, we are ready to support your project from start to finish. Whether you are planning an extension, upgrading utilities or preparing a plot for development, our team provides safe, accurate and dependable work. We can assess your site, recommend the right approach and carry out the full scope of work required.

Contact us today to arrange a site visit and begin planning your project.
