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 Heston we check levels against door thresholds, look for shallow services and plan where spoil and materials will go. Homes in Heston range from period properties to modern estates, each with its own drainage and access questions.
In Heston we can price work such as preparing a drive to meet a new dropped kerb, digging out an old drive and building a permeable sub-base and replacing failed edges that have started to crumble. More about excavation and sub-base.

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. Spring to autumn offers the most laying days in Greater London, but dry, mild winter days can work too.
How it works
The steps are simple: guide price, free survey, written quote with a fixed price once the specification is agreed, then a date that suits you and the weather.
