As a trusted commercial groundwork contractor, we deliver a comprehensive range of services to developers, utility providers, road construction firms, local authorities, and both public and private sector clients.
Lane & Skillen Ltd has contributed to a variety of large-scale commercial, industrial, and government projects in recent years, including the construction of a new refuelling facility at USAF Mildenhall.
With dedicated in-house health and safety specialists, we ensure full compliance with all site regulations. We also carry £10 million in public liability insurance, giving you complete peace of mind.
Our services include drainage installation and systems, utility trenching, foundations, excavation and trenching, concrete finishing, driveways, kerbing, site clearance and hard landscaping, ground beams and underpinning, as well as excavation and topsoiling.
Drainage is an essential component of any construction project, so having experienced installers is vital for success. We design and install new drainage systems across Newmarket and the wider Suffolk region, often in conjunction with foundation laying.

We have worked on projects of every scale and complexity, so we have learned a great deal along the way. Our commercial groundwork includes site clearance, hard landscape work/planting, warehousing, concrete foundations, car park works, underpinning, ground beams, site surveys, drainage ditches and ducts and demolition work.

We provide excavating and other groundworks services suitable for building foundations, trenches and ducting. Using state-of-the-art excavators, our well-trained team work alongside in-house safety specialists to make sure everything is carried out professionally.

We install quality driveways and replacement driveways throughout Newmarket and beyond. Our robust and durable driveways are suitable for heavy vehicles and foot traffic. Functional and aesthetically pleasing, our driveways add value and blend seamlessly with your property’s exterior.
Concrete installation and groundworks in Mildenhall require a high level of precision, especially for industrial and aviation environments. Projects such as refuelling stations demand durable concrete surfaces, advanced drainage systems, and effective spill containment to meet strict safety and environmental standards.
Lane & Skillen Ltd delivers specialist solutions including reinforced concrete pads, anti-corrosive drainage, soakaway systems, and full site preparation. Each installation is designed to handle heavy use while protecting surrounding infrastructure from contamination.
From excavation through to final landscaping, every stage is managed with attention to detail and long-term performance in mind. This ensures reliable, low-maintenance surfaces suitable for demanding commercial and industrial applications across Mildenhall and the wider Suffolk area.
