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.
In Bexhill-on-Sea, the survey for this work is about levels, falls and ground conditions: where water goes now, what is under the surface and how materials will reach the site. Many homes in Bexhill-on-Sea have existing tarmac or block drives that can be assessed for an overlay or a rebuild.
Typical projects we can quote for in Bexhill-on-Sea include replacing failed edges that have started to crumble, 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 England, not legal advice.
Weather and working days
The South East is relatively dry, with long laying seasons, but clay soils are common across much of the region and can drain slowly. Laying days in Bexhill-on-Sea are confirmed close to the date, because rain and cold stop resin curing properly.

Do I need planning permission in Bexhill-on-Sea?
In England, a new or replaced hard surface of more than 5 m² in a front garden is permitted development only if it is porous, or if rainwater drains to a lawn, border or soakaway within the property. A fully permeable resin bound build, with a porous base under it, meets that test.
