What excavation and sub-base involves
Excavation and sub-base work is the groundwork under a resin surface: digging out the old drive and soft ground, removing the spoil, and building up compacted layers of crushed stone and a binder course that will carry cars without moving.
Before quoting groundworks in Banbridge we check levels against door thresholds, look for shallow services and plan where spoil and materials will go. Plots around Banbridge are often generous, so turning areas and longer runs of edging are part of many quotes.
In Banbridge we can price work such as setting a channel drain across a garage entrance, adding a soakaway so water stays on the property and preparing a drive to meet a new dropped kerb. More about excavation and sub-base.

General information for Northern Ireland, not legal advice.
Weather and working days
Northern Ireland has frequent rain spread through the year, so laying days are planned around dry spells and permeable builds make sense. If the weather turns on the day, we move the pour rather than risk a surface that will not cure.
