Bongo Review

A good experience from start to finish. A very helpful lady dealt with my initial enquiry and Jason was prompt to come out and assess the job and offer a solution. A complex task, as my surface water soakaway had failed and the only solution was to lay pipework to a borehole soakaway outside the property boundary. This was complicated as an area of trees had to be removed. Jason's team managed the whole process, including the tree work and he and his colleague Oliver dealt with all the agencies. Communications with APEC were polite and helpful throughout the process. Thanks also to Oscar and Alex who did a great job on site and persevered, even in the face of some very stubborn tree roots!! The site was left very neat and the team ensured that disruption to neighbours was minimal. Thank you again.

Apec Groundworks were found to be professional and efficient throughout.They took all the hassle out of the connection of services on our small development in a busy city centre location. Dealing with all paperwork and potential headaches, Apec clearly demonstrated time-served industry knowledge and the approachableness of a modern day groundworks company. I would be and am more than happy to recommend their services to other boutique developers.

I instructed AGL to reconfigure our existing school car park to make better use of the space. All communication was dealt with promptly and the contacts were all incredibly helpful. the finished car park is perfect and we are now able to utilise the space more efficiently. Thank you

We’re very happy with what’s been done (well, everything seems to be disappearing somewhere other than our septic tank now and the drain hasn’t backed-up!!)
John and Shane were a pleasure to deal with and are great ambassadors for your company. Despite it being May, there were some pretty “variable” weather conditions over the duration for them to cope with.
Overall a very positive experience and I would have no hesitation in recommending APEC.

Enquired about getting a repair done on a DBM Slotted drain via email and was responded to and handled very quickly and efficiently. Work was booked in, workmen arrived on time and completed the work to a high standard. Left behind no mess and gave clear instructions on how to protect the repair. very happy customer.

Hi Jason

Last day here for the guys tomorrow so I just wanted to pass on our thanks. Ben and Adrian have been truly brilliant both in terms of workmanship, thoughtfulness, attention to detail and also just having around the house. We have thoroughly enjoyed having them here, for their support explaining what was happing etc and their general manner and humour. Our neighbours have also commented how nice they are. They’ve made what was a very unpleasant experience for us (underground oil leak) into a not so unpleasant one. They are a credit to your company. In fact, all the guys that have been here from time to time (truck driver, the chap when Adrian was off) have all been great.

Added to that we are delighted with what they have done.... both the MEL related works and our patio which we arranged for you to do separately.

We will definitely be in contact again for any future work we decide to have done.

Many thanks

We were very happy to use the efficient, friendly and reliable expertise of APEC on two occasions within just a couple of months. A new water pipeline supply and then a renewed soakaway. We can recommend them in their special areas of expertise without hesitation and would very definitely utilise their services again if such needs arose. Everyone involved, from Jason and Oliver, the very efficient and helpful office staff to the energetic and friendly ground crew were dedicated to completing the works to a high standard and with a smile. It's rare to be able to leave unqualified positive feedback!

Broome PC in partnership with Broome Village Hall engaged AGL to connect the village hall to the main sewerage system.
They took all the worry of licences and road closers away from us. The job was started and finished on the promised dates.
The car park , which had to be dug up was reinstated to it's original good condition.
Highly recommend this company.

Apec recently installed a new pump station and rising main for us and whilst the project was not without its complications, Apec provided constant advice and guidance to help us navigate the various different requirements and accommodated several changes and obstacles which were thrown at us/them along the way. Our clients is very pleased with the end result and so are we. We couldn't have done it without Oliver and Team, thank you.

Apec were quick to provide a quote at a competitive price. Another contractor had quoted double the price for the works. I was relieved to find a professional service who delivered as promised and were quick to resolve any issues I had. Prior to ordering the works with Apec, I was let down by a contractor who dragged on the matter for 6 months and still has not returned my deposit. It is not easy to find reliable people these days. Apec Groundworks LTD are a genuine company and Oliver Sword has been very helpful throughout this process. Many thanks Oliver!

Our project has been a new house in South Norfolk built to Passive House standards which we have built on a package by package basis. AGL were the first in, installing an insulated ground slab, foul and surface drainage including sewage treatment and a large rainwater storage tank. They then came back when the exterior was finished to set up the structure of our garden, with curved brick walls, brick paths and driveway. Lee and his colleagues were totally unfazed by new challenges we set them and as groundwork contractors it's heartening to see their pride in these visible manifestations of their efforts.

Apec Groundworks went above and beyond with advice about installing new drainage in my driveway. Very knowledgeable and helpful. Ben and Lee were on time, polite and tidy and are an extremely hard working Team. I will use this company again and would highly recommend them. A professional company!

APEC fitted us in very quickly after surface water flooding of our drive and house. The initial contact was with a very polite, efficient and pleasant receptionist who was a real encouragement with a can-do attitude.
The workmen who came were a real credit to the firm. They were friendly, hard -working and above all open to all our preferences and questions. In addition they charmed our six year old grandson.
The ACO drains were neat and beautifully finished. There is a lot of skill invested in this firm. The men left everything neat and tidy. We could not have wished for a better experience. Highly recommended.

From my initial contact through to the completion of a technically challenging project, my experience of AGL was first class. Jason's aim is to make sure that all work is completed to a high standard, with no shortcuts, and to the full satisfaction of the customer. That attutude is reflected through all the staff at AGL that I came in contact with.

My garden patio was slowly sliding into an adjacent ditch and AGL carefully planned a solution to shore up the ditch walls using custom made steels and huge reinforced concrete slabs. Further work included lifting and relaying a patio area and new fencing. In all, 2.5 weeks work.

The installation team, supervised by Lee were excellent, they were punctual and always cheerful, helpful and motivated. I was kept informed at every stage of the works and they often checked that everything was to my satisfaction. I probably made a nuisance of myself as I am very particular, but every request I made was received with a willingness to oblige and make sure the finished job was exactly as I wanted. The levels of workmanship and attention to detail were excellent.

Having a 14 ton digger on the drive operating a couple of inches away from the house with 600kg concrete slabs hanging from it is scary, but the skill and care taken by the driver reassured me it was in good hands. I am very pleased with the finished job, and AGL have left the site looking very tidy, with nothing left for me to do and even though there was a lot of heavy machinery on site, nothing was damaged. If I ever need any construction works in the future, AGL will be my first port of call.

Really pleased with my new driveway. The crew worked very hard to a high professional standard and I would highly recommend them. Neighbours also commented on what a brilliant job they did.

We had a need to completely rearrange the drainage to put our property on to mains drainage. Working closely with the Team at APEC Groundworks, a comprehensive plan was devised and subsequently executed to provide a seamless transfer of services to mains drainage. The Team on site for the work were most efficient and kept us well informed at every step of the way, rising to some unexpected technical issues (such as some completely unexpected foundations right in the way from what must have been an old building we didn’t even know about) which needed to be resolved. And the site, after all the works, actually looks far better than it was before which is an added bonus! All in all, a most professional job carried out to a very high standard. As an Engineer myself, the good workmanship and attention to detail speaks for itself. Well done to the Team is all I can say! An excellent job all round – and for less than I’d budgeted for!

AGL have just finished working on our garden after 5 days on site. The work included; decking, artificial grass, paving and resurfacing our driveway. I commend the team for excellence throughout the project. From first contact through to completion they explained the work, provided me with options to make decisions and were thoroughly polite throughout. Everything was left clean and tidy and the work was completed to a high standard. I would recommend AGL to anyone considering a domestic project. Thank you.

Jason and his team were always happy, helpful and worked extremely hard in the 30 degrees heat whilst preparing the ground works and laying my concrete floor for my pig shed. I would highly recommend them.

Jason and his team were always happy, helpful and worked extremely hard in the 30 degrees heat whilst preparing the ground works and laying my concrete.

I highly recommend them.

we asked APEC to quote for approximately 70 meters of new fencing due to storm damage. whilst they were not the cheapest quote we had, i am so pleased that we asked them to do the work. They were very organised and the team worked like Trojans. despite the weather being very warm they just got on with it. The team were polite and demonstrated on numerous occasions that the cared for what they were doing. This was reflected in the finished project. Fantastic.

If you are looking for a quality company you must look at APEC.

The professionalism of Jason and all his team, demonstrating his great leadership. The great focus on health and safety, the considered measures to mitigate risk at the moment during the pandemic, the skill and quality of work (I was supposed to love my house the most, we now live in the garden) We had a previous awful experience with a builder where we are going through legal proceedings, APEC restored my faith entirely (thanks for the counselling Jason) so we ended up awarding more work than we first intended and we couldn't be more pleased. I cannot thank APEC enough!

We commissioned APEC for installation of highway passing bay and associated crossover with culvert pipe together with a main highway sewer connection in compliance with planning consent for new development site. Jason, Oliver, Craig and the team obtained road closure permits in record time, cracked on with the main works in the run-up to Christmas and top dressed in January. Unexpected adjacent Anglian Water main water valve and hydrant works did not phase the onsite crew who soothed neighbours while maintaining steady progress. Job well done - just leaves us with the easy stuff encouraging County Council and District Council to inspect and sign-off in a timely manner. Anglian Water helpfully signed off without delay.

If you need advice and help with your groundworks issue or project, do not hesitate to call Jason at APEC Groundworks Limited. He listens, thinks and solves the problems to ensure working to a highly satisfactory conclusion. He is approachable, professional and his wealth of experience means that you will not need to ring anybody else. I have no hesitation in recommending Apec’s services because they offer a service with honest, reliable, polite and efficient staff who genuinely want to help.

Thank you for your courtesy call to see if all was well and I can say I am very pleased with the work done and your guys were a credit to you. I would have no hesitation recommending APEC Groundworks and will consider you for any future projects when the arise.

We used APEC on our job in Woodbridge. Lee kept us fully up to date daily and also had a great rapport with the neighbours who all sang their praises. This site was extremely tight, in width and location and neighbours needed access 24/7 and APEC always went out their way to ensure disruption was kept to a minimum. We would not hesitate to use APEC for future projects. Always reliable, honest, hard working and punctual.

There was a longstanding issue at Gapton Hall Retail Park with traffic affecting the operation of the park for shoppers over a number of years. A new entrance road was proposed including the diversion of major utilities.

The works were undertaken at one of the busiest times in the year, however AGL effectively managed the traffic in and out of the park ensuring the car park and shops were not affected.

They managed to complete the works ahead of programme despite the challenging conditions on site.

The works included a new entrance road, alterations to the road layout including new street furniture and new signage. The quality of work was fantastic.

The new entrance road has now transformed the traffic management within the retail park and also the local area. I would like to thank AGL for the great success.

I look forward to working with AGL on future projects.

Our recent experience with Apec has been flawless. Their professionalism and how work had been conducted, was second to none. Very helpful, and went the extra mile in helping get all the right acceptances, paperwork, and permits in place.
Seemingly very well connected in their field, and working with Anglian water. Which goes a long way when executing street works connections in restricted space.

Highly recommend, and look forward to working with them again in the future.

APEC Groundworks LTD built a large retaining wall for Colchester Institute. APEC is a very professional company, who were incredibly informative, helpful and respectful throughout the entire project. Craig and his team conducted themselves in a professional & polite manner at all times. The quality of the Stepoc block retaining wall was finished to a high standard and in a safe manner. The site was left in a tidy condition and all of APEC equipment, materials and waste material was cleared promptly. APEC Groundworks LTD is a top class company who I would highly recommend.

Flooding garage problem solved. Professional team yet friendly and considerate. Always felt we were in safe hands throughout the job with all questions and concerns being answered. If you're considering any ground work etc, don't waste time and effort looking around, just contact this company and I'm sure you won't be disappointed.

APEC was commissioned to install a new soakaway drainage system for a detached house. They quoted quickly and the work was commissioned with a mid October start to get the work done before winter. The weather wasn't kind, there were some tree stumps needing removal to facilitate installation and Building Control needed to be involved. The project was completed in 4 days, without drama and reinstated. I'd have no hesitation in recommending them and I'm a retired Chartered Surveyor.

Jason and Oliver were first class from day 1. We spoke to a number of different contractors and they stood out from the crowd. Apec offer a really personal service and do genuinely care about giving you a good outcome. They were flexible and understanding of our situation which was highly complex. A pleasure to work with.

I CALLED JASON WANTING A WALL BUILT AT THE PERIMETER OF MY HOUSE AND SOME SOIL REMOVED FROM A PREVIOUS PROJECT. JASONS TEAM TURNED UP WHEN THEY SAID THEY WOULD GOT THE JOB DONE NEAT AND TIDY AND WITH A PROFESIONAL APPROACH. FANTASTIC SERVICE AND WOULD HIGHLY RECCOMMEND APEC GROUNDWORKS FOR ANY JOB BIG OR SMALL.

I would just like to say a huge thank you to Jason and his team of men, nothing was to much trouble,they worked very hard ,quick and efficient and tidy. We needed a retaining wall to hold up a steep bank in our garden, we left the design totally up to Jason trusting that he knew what worked best, and he certainly did!! We are thrilled with the results the guys did a grand job, we would highly recommend to anyone and would certainly use again! Thank you to all who worked on our project

We needed two graveled areas made disabled friendly for mobility scooter, wheelchair and rollator use.

Jason's lads did a great job. Both areas are now accessible.
We are really pleased, nothing was too much trouble.
We would not hesitate to recommend them.

I’d like to state my appreciation for the excellent communications between your team and Network Assurance right from submission of your applications to keeping us updated about your works progress and potential issues. I’d also like to extend gratitude to the workforce who worked hard to ensure completion of the works under a road closure as quickly as possible, despite vandalism of the site and equipment. It’s also noted you took on additional tasks that were not technically within your obligations.

The team at Apec Groundworks have proven yourselves to be an organised and professional team right from the outset particularly in your focus on public relations. Your idea to create a Facebook page for members of the area affected by the works was a popular tool for everyone to voice their concerns and queries and receive prompt responses directly from Apec Groundworks. Following the success of that Facebook page, we are now promoting this idea to other works promoters carrying out high impact schemes to consider this method of engagement and take responsibility for their works.

Thank you for a job well done, I look forward to working with you again on future projects.

I manage a day service for adults with disabilities and had drainage and car park area made safe, particularly for my wheelchair users.
Jason and his team were friendly, happy ! and were empathetic to my clients.
Kept me informed of progress throughout and finished on time as agreed.
I think part of it was because we kept them fed and the kettle was on permanently !!
Thanks guys, Claire & all at SFW

I contacted Jason last Saturday 2nd Feb for help regarding a location of a rising main sewer in my garden. Anglian water have stopped me building my extension until it was found. Jason responded quickly and took my details. On the Monday he called to say he would be on site Tuesday to do a survey. Jason arrived Tuesday and using his pipe detection equipment quickly found the pipes location and took photos and marked the pipe run for me. An email report with pictures arrived via e mail that night which was forwarded to Anglian Water and they have accepted the report. i am hoping by the end of this week i will gain permision to start work.
I cant recommend Jason and his team enough they were the only company i found willing to help and even offered me a digger to dig my foundations. Refreshing to find a company that will go out of there way to help.

Great service and they went out of their way to help.

Jason and his team are extremely professional, incredibly friendly and approachable. No job was too difficult and the new stable and wash area looks incredible. They also left the place tidy after they had finished which is great. They were an absolute pleasure to have around and I know a small black lab that is definitely missing them all!

You got us out of a real hole, not just one in the ground. Thanks to Oliver and Jason for their top quality service enabling us to complete the sale of a new build house in the nick of time.

We at East Coast Property (UK) Ltd will certainly need your knowledge and experience of the Local Councils and utility companies on future developments in Felixstowe and the Woodbridge area.

We ask AGL to look at repairing some storm damage to our disabled accsess and swims at our fishing club in southwold, Jason and the team at AGL were able to go the extra mile and get straight on with the works and turned the job around in 2 days with fantastic results.
We would certainly recommend AGL for a friendly and professional service
Thank you from the club and its members

What a fantastic job done by the team at AGL. They created a new parking area at the front of our house, and the work carried out is nothing less than superb.
It did not take much searching about to find an excellent local contractor to carry out the work before AGL popped up. They had already been recommended by friends and other local people, and they definitely live up to their reputation.
They turned up when planned, were courteous to both us and our neighbours and caused no disruption. They even went the extra mile and got rid of some weeds on our shared driveway. If you want somebody professional, friendly and reliable - AGL are the place to go!!!

I am very thankful for Jason and his teams efforts on this project. Your company have been very proactive and walked the extra mile to deliver the project on time. Throughout the works period, your communication approach was exemplary and we have been kept regularly informed your of progress. I look forward to working with AGL and yourself on future projects.

Jason and his team completed a large permeable footpath construction for us on time and in budget and the works were managed safely to allow a public right of way to be maintained throughout. Jason was very professional and committed to delivering a high quality construction and effectively met with stakeholders to discuss the works and kept us informed of progress on a regular basis. I wouldn't have any hesitation in using Apec again in the future.

We are all very pleased with the work your people have carried out. The work was completed as per our agreement and left in a tidy state.

Of course we will need to wait for some heavy rain to see how the drainage performs.

Your chaps were very helpful and considerate especially in the rain on the first two days and the limited space which involved moving vehicles around from time to time.

One comment was “they were very kind and helpful”.

Barry kept us well informed on progress despite the lack of Madeira cake!

Overall we were impressed with the manner in which the project was handled.

We have used Apec Groundworks Ltd on a number of jobs throughout 2017.

We will be using them on all of our works in 2018 and beyond.

Jason has been helpful and informative, very easy to deal with.

The lads have been reliable, polite and friendly, nothing has been to much trouble for them.

I would happily recommend Apec to anyone looking for a groundwork contractor.

To who it may concern,

I can confirm that I have used Apec Groundworks Ltd on a number of schemes varying in size and content.

All the works have been completed to an excellent standard, within the set timescales and to a high standard of Health and Safety.

I would happily recommend AGL to any potential clients.

Claret Civil Engineering Limited has employed the civil engineering services of Apec Groundworks Limited since their inception and their directors prior to forming APEC over many years across the East Anglia region.
As a company they have successfully completed schemes for us, safely, on time and within budget.

I personally have worked with them for nearly 11 years. A few examples are:

- Pettistree – foundations for new portal frame building with associated drainage and concrete road.
- Northampton – excavation to expose water main in reservoir bank and construction of concrete ring chamber.
- Taverham – installation of 1.5km otter proof fence around fishery.
- Alton Water – surface water drainage improvements and formation of cycle track around reservoir.
- Honington – excavation to expose heating mains and associated reinstatement of asphalt and concrete surfaces.
- Lakenham – excavation to relay new sewers and construct manholes.
- Marham – excavation and installation of waterproof render, duct sealing work for flood prevention measures.

I have no hesitation in recommending APEC Groundworks Limited for undertaking the aforementioned type of work.

I contacted AGL after trying various other companies to no avail, from my first conversation with Jason it was clear that he looks after his clients. I was away in the Netherlands while this work was ongoing but all through this job I was fully aware of what his team were achieving on a daily basis, I’m really happy with the very professional service I received and the communication from jason made this job plain sailing, would highly recommend

Having worked with Jason and the team at Apec Groundworks on various projects over the past 18 months I would have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone.
Jason is always available to offer advice and support when ever we have needed it, his team are always happy to help and answer any questions we have, their work is always completed on time and within the budget agreed at the start of the project.
Thank you Jason, we are now looking forward to the next project.

After meeting with Jason and listening to his vision of the future for his business, C&C Consulting Services Ltd we’re very keen to be involved.

APEC Groundworks Ltd are committed to ensuring the Health, Safety and Welfare is at the heart of all of their employees and others that may be affected by what they do.

As part of this commitment, they have retained the services of C&C Consulting to assist in developing their Health and Safety management systems and monitor their implementation and compliance.

We are looking forward to working in partnership with APEC for the foreseeable future.
