Vacuum Excavation Northamptonshire

D&J Excavations is a Northamptonshire-based vacuum excavation specialist, providing safe, non-destructive digging for contractors, developers and network operators right across the county. From a single trial hole to repeat visits on a long programme, we help local projects expose and prove buried services without the risk of a costly strike.

Northamptonshire is one of the busiest growth areas in the country. Sitting in the UK's logistics “golden triangle”, the county is criss-crossed by the M1, A14, A45, A43 and A5 and served by the Midland Main Line - corridors that carry huge volumes of freight and underpin a constant pipeline of distribution, housing and infrastructure development across its two unitary authorities, North Northamptonshire and West Northamptonshire.

West Northamptonshire alone has set out a £100m+ capital programme for 2025/26, and strategic road schemes like the A45 Northampton to Daventry link, A43 dualling and the A509 Wellingborough corridor are unlocking thousands of new homes. Every one of those schemes puts services in the ground - and that's where we come in.
