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 Edmonton we check levels against door thresholds, look for shallow services and plan where spoil and materials will go. Edmonton has a broad mix of housing, from terraces near the centre to detached homes on the edges.
Across Greater London, the projects we price include replacing failed edges that have started to crumble, fitting setts or steel edging around a new drive and digging out an old drive and building a permeable sub-base. More about excavation and sub-base.

Planning in Edmonton
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
London is one of the drier parts of the UK, but heavy summer downpours on small, mostly paved plots are exactly what front-garden drainage rules were written for. We only lay resin on dry days with ground and air above about 5°C, so Edmonton jobs are booked with the forecast in mind.
How it works
Guide price first, then a free visit, then a line-by-line quote. Nothing is booked until you have the specification in writing.
