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 Northolt we check levels against door thresholds, look for shallow services and plan where spoil and materials will go. Northolt mixes older streets with newer estates, and many homes have room for two or more cars.
Projects we quote in and around Northolt include replacing failed edges that have started to crumble, adding a soakaway so water stays on the property and setting a channel drain across a garage entrance. More about excavation and sub-base.

Planning in Northolt
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. If the weather turns on the day, we move the pour rather than risk a surface that will not cure.
