Can you work on DIRFT and the logistics sites?

Yes. Large distribution and warehouse sites like those at DIRFT are exactly where we add value - verifying and exposing services safely across big footprints of new and existing infrastructure ahead of and during construction.

Do you cover the whole of Daventry?

Yes - from the town centre and Monksmoor, Middlemore and Micklewell Park estates out to DIRFT and the surrounding logistics and industrial land, plus the nearby villages.

Can you support new housing developments in Daventry?

Regularly. We expose and prove services and dig trial holes ahead of connections and enabling works on Daventry's growing estates, including the Malabar Farm western extension.

How quickly can you mobilise to Daventry?

Because we're local to Northamptonshire and you deal directly with the operator, mobilisation to Daventry is usually quick and we can flex around your programme. Give us the location and dates and we'll confirm.

Vacuum Excavation Daventry

D&J Excavations provides vacuum excavation, potholing and utility exposure across Daventry - safe, non-destructive digging for the logistics, distribution and housing schemes driving the town's growth.

Daventry sits at the heart of the UK's logistics economy, anchored by DIRFT - the Daventry International Rail Freight Terminal. The pipeline there is huge: a 1.3 million sq ft automated M&S national distribution centre is being built as part of a £340m supply-chain investment, alongside further Prologis logistics units and, nearby, Logicor's 800,000 sq ft park of new warehouses. Sites on this scale mean vast networks of new power, water, drainage and comms in the ground.

Those distribution and warehouse schemes need service verification, cable and duct exposure and enabling works - and with live services running across established logistics land, non-destructive digging is the controlled way to work around them safely.

Local projects in Daventry

Beyond DIRFT and the logistics parks, Daventry's housing growth continues with the Malabar Farm western extension (part of a scheme of more than 1,000 homes), the Middlemore, Monksmoor Park and Micklewell Park estates, and housing at London Road on Meridian Business Park. Warehouse service verification, housing connections and highway service diversions around the A425 and Staverton Road corridor are all routine vacuum excavation work here.
