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 Southall, 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. Plot sizes and existing surfaces vary a lot across Southall, so the survey comes before any fixed figure.
Projects we quote in and around Southall include replacing failed edges that have started to crumble, setting a channel drain across a garage entrance and fitting setts or steel edging around a new drive. More about excavation and sub-base.

Planning in Southall
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.
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.
