Do you cover the whole of Kettering?

Yes - from the town centre out to Hanwood Park and East Kettering, and across the surrounding villages. Wherever the job is in and around Kettering, we can get to it quickly.

Can you work on the Hanwood Park development?

That kind of large housing scheme is exactly what we support - exposing and proving services, digging trial holes and helping with enabling works ahead of connections across the phases.

How quickly can you mobilise to Kettering?

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

Do you work along the A14 and A43 corridor?

Yes. We regularly expose and verify services for highway and utility works along the A14/A43 corridor and the local road network around Kettering.

Vacuum Excavation Kettering

D&J Excavations provides vacuum excavation, potholing and utility exposure across Kettering - safe, non-destructive digging for the contractors delivering the town's biggest growth in a generation.

Kettering's growth is dominated by Hanwood Park, the 5,500-home masterplan on the east side of town. With around 1,400 homes already occupied and the remaining phases approved, it's one of the largest housing schemes in North Northamptonshire - and it comes with its own schools, district centre, employment land and green infrastructure. A development on that scale is a constant demand for new service connections, trial holes and enabling works.

Around it, supporting infrastructure is being built out too, including the extension of the Ise Valley Greenway through Kettering. All of it means live and new services in the ground - and that's exactly where non-destructive digging keeps a programme safe and moving.

Local projects in Kettering

As well as Hanwood Park and the Ise Valley Greenway, Kettering sits on the A14 and A43 corridor, with the long-term A43 Northampton to Kettering dualling in the pipeline and local highway works such as the A509 Pytchley Road and A4300 Stamford Road resurfacing programmes. Kettering General Hospital is also building a new energy centre. Housing connections, highway service diversions and utility exposure around these schemes are all everyday vacuum excavation work.
