EJ McGrath Construction Ltd

For main contractors

EJ McGrath Construction Ltd is a family-run civil engineering and groundworks contractor, founded in 2007 and based in Weston-super-Mare. We deliver groundworks, drainage, reinforced concrete and Section 278 highways packages for main contractors and public clients across South West England and South Wales.

The works are self-delivered by our own teams, supervision and plant, not subcontracted out, using CDM-compliant, QA-led methods. Clients and partners include NMCN, ISG, Alun Griffiths, Galliford Try, Kier, BAM Nuttall, North Somerset Council and Bristol City Council.

What we self-deliver

  • Drainage & utilities: foul and surface-water drainage, attenuation, pumping stations, ducting and statutory diversions, to adoptable standards where required.
  • Reinforced concrete: foundations, pile caps, ground beams, structural slabs and retaining walls, with formwork, rebar fixing and concrete finishes.
  • Groundworks & earthworks: bulk and detailed excavation, muck-away, capping, piling mats and ground remediation.
  • Surfacing & external works: roads, hardstandings, kerbing, block paving, natural-stone paving and hard landscaping.
  • Infrastructure: Section 278/38 highways, S104/S185 adoptable works, box culverts and statutory service diversions.
  • Vacuum excavation: our own T-VAC 2 unit for safe digging around live services, trial holes and service exposure, delivered in-house.

Where we work

We work across South West England and South Wales from our base in Weston-super-Mare. Much of our work is in complex, live environments: trading town centres, tidal and coastal sites, occupied secure sites and highways.

How we are assessed

We are accredited with Constructionline (Gold Member), SSIP (Safety Schemes in Procurement), SMAS Worksafe and Cyber Essentials. We are a Registered Waste Carrier with the Environment Agency, and we hold Employers’ Liability, Public Liability and Professional Indemnity cover. The insurance schedule is available on request.
