At J C Balls & Sons, we provide a comprehensive range of construction, earthmoving, and material supply services across the East Midlands. 

With decades of industry experience, a modern fleet, and a strong reputation for reliability, we support projects of all sizes—from small domestic work to major commercial and civil engineering schemes.

Plant Hire

J C Balls & Sons offers an extensive fleet of modern plant and machinery available on both operated and self-drive hire. From mini diggers and tracked excavators to dozers, dump trucks, loading shovels, rollers, and specialist equipment, our plant is maintained to the highest standards for safety and performance. With skilled CPCS-trained operators and flexible hire options, we provide the right machine for every project, delivered efficiently and backed by expert support.

Contracting

We provide professional contracting services for excavation, earthworks, site preparation, drainage, foundations, landscaping, and groundworks. Our experienced team delivers reliable, high-quality results across commercial, residential, and civil engineering projects. From bulk muck shifting to precision grading and site development, we manage every stage with efficiency, accuracy, and a commitment to safety.

Haulage

Our haulage division operates a large and diverse fleet of tipper lorries, articulated dump trucks, and low-loaders, offering dependable transport solutions for aggregates, spoil removal, recycling materials, and heavy plant. Whether you need on-site movement, long-distance haulage, or specialist transport for oversized machinery, our experienced drivers ensure safe, timely, and cost-effective delivery.

Engineering

Our engineering services support complex construction and infrastructure projects through accurate ground profiling, machine control solutions, volumetric analysis, cut-and-fill calculations, and on-site technical guidance. Using modern survey equipment and digital modelling, we enhance project efficiency, reduce wastage, and deliver precise results that support smoother, smarter operations on every site.

Recycling

J C Balls & Sons is committed to sustainable construction practices through our recycling operations. We process inert waste materials to produce high-quality recycled aggregates, including crushed concrete, hardcore, and screened soils. By recycling materials locally, we reduce environmental impact, minimise landfill use, and provide cost-effective alternatives to quarried aggregates.

Ready Mix Concrete

Our ready mix concrete service delivers consistent, high-quality concrete for domestic, commercial, and industrial projects. Mixed to your specification and delivered directly to site using our modern fleet, we provide a reliable supply for foundations, slabs, footpaths, driveways, and structural work. With flexible delivery options and expert support, we ensure you get the right mix, exactly when you need it.
