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 Mangotsfield, 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 Mangotsfield have existing tarmac or block drives that can be assessed for an overlay or a rebuild.
Typical projects we can quote for in Mangotsfield include replacing failed edges that have started to crumble, setting a channel drain across a garage entrance and adding a soakaway so water stays on the property. More about excavation and sub-base.

Planning in Mangotsfield
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 South West gets more rain than the east of England, especially on higher ground, so permeability and falls matter on every drive. If the weather turns on the day, we move the pour rather than risk a surface that will not cure.
