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 Enfield we check levels against door thresholds, look for shallow services and plan where spoil and materials will go. Drives in Enfield range from single-car frontages to wide plots, which is why every price follows a measured survey.
Across Greater London, the projects we price include adding a soakaway so water stays on the property, fitting setts or steel edging around a new drive and replacing failed edges that have started to crumble. More about excavation and sub-base.

Planning in Enfield
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 Enfield jobs are booked with the forecast in mind.
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.
