Vacuum Excavation Wellingborough

D&J Excavations provides vacuum excavation, potholing and utility exposure across Wellingborough - safe, non-destructive digging for the contractors delivering the town's major eastern expansion.

Wellingborough's growth is led by Stanton Cross, the Wellingborough North urban extension - a scheme of around 3,650 new homes on the east side of town, complete with a new neighbourhood hub and a road bridge over the Midland Main Line to unlock the development. It's one of the largest live housing programmes in the area, and it's generating a steady demand for new service connections, trial holes and enabling works.

There's more alongside it: the Wellingborough East consortium land is adding hundreds of further homes, and the town has ongoing utility work including new electricity sub-station infrastructure and network upgrades. All of it puts live and new services in the ground - the natural place for non-destructive digging.

Local projects in Wellingborough

As well as Stanton Cross and Wellingborough East, the town has station-linked highway works, a town-centre masterplan under consultation, and road improvements tied to the A509 corridor and the wider Isham bypass ambitions. New electricity sub-stations and utility upgrades are also coming forward on sites like Waverley Drive. Housing connections, sub-station and cable exposure and highway service diversions are all everyday vacuum excavation jobs here.

Frequently asked questions

Do you cover the whole of Wellingborough?
Yes - from the town centre and station area out to Stanton Cross / Wellingborough North and the Wellingborough East development land, plus the surrounding villages. Wherever the job is, we can get to it quickly.
Can you work on the Stanton Cross development?
That kind of large urban extension is exactly what we support - exposing and proving services, digging trial holes and helping with enabling works ahead of connections across the phases.
Can you expose cables around sub-station and utility works?
Yes. Exposing and verifying cables and services around new sub-stations and network upgrades is routine for us, and non-destructive digging is the safe method for working close to live electrical apparatus.
How quickly can you mobilise to Wellingborough?
Because we're local to Northamptonshire and you deal directly with the operator, mobilisation is usually quick and we can flex around your programme. Send us the dates and location and we'll confirm.
