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 Maldon we check levels against door thresholds, look for shallow services and plan where spoil and materials will go. Around Maldon, longer drives and rural access are common, so deliveries and mixing space are planned at survey.
Typical projects we can quote for in Maldon include setting a channel drain across a garage entrance, replacing failed edges that have started to crumble and fitting setts or steel edging around a new drive. More about excavation and sub-base.

Planning in Maldon
Groundworks for a domestic drive do not usually need planning permission in themselves, but the finished surface follows the front-garden drainage rules, and shallow services such as water pipes and cables are located before digging.
General information for England, not legal advice.
Weather and working days
The East of England is the driest part of the UK, which gives a long resin laying season, though heavy clays in places mean the sub-base needs designing for slow drainage. Laying days in Maldon are confirmed close to the date, because rain and cold stop resin curing properly.
How it works
You start with a guide price, we visit to measure and check the site, you get a written quote, and we book the work for suitable weather.
