M&J Drilling Services Ltd

M. & J. Drilling Services Limited is a specialist geotechnical contractor based in Tipton, serving projects across the UK. Founded in 1982, the company began by investigating and stabilising mineworkings and mineshafts in the South Staffordshire Coalfield before expanding into a broader drilling and grouting operation.

Its work includes rotary open-hole and core drilling for site investigations, the stabilisation of abandoned mineworkings, mineshaft location and treatment, bulk infilling and pressure grouting. The company also undertakes ground anchors, soil nailing, earthing electrode installation and the installation of geotechnical instrumentation, supporting complex ground engineering and construction projects.

A substantial fleet of drilling rigs and ancillary plant is maintained by the company’s own experienced plant fitters. This in-house capability supports demanding programmes where specialist equipment, controlled grouting operations and reliable project delivery are important. The team includes engineers, geologists and surveyors, alongside experienced drilling and plant personnel.

The business works with consultants, developers, contractors and public-sector clients on projects ranging from individual boreholes to major civil engineering contracts. Its established focus is on practical solutions for difficult ground conditions, including former mine sites, underground voids, shafts and other areas requiring investigation or stabilisation.
