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 Tottenham, 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. Drives in Tottenham range from single-car frontages to wide plots, which is why every price follows a measured survey.
Projects we quote in and around Tottenham include setting a channel drain across a garage entrance, replacing failed edges that have started to crumble and preparing a drive to meet a new dropped kerb. More about excavation and sub-base.

Planning in Tottenham
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. Surveys run all year; resin work itself waits for a dry day above about 5°C.
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.
Excavation and sub-base in Tottenham: questions
What postcodes do you cover around Tottenham?
We cover N6, N8, N10, N15, N17 and N22 and the surrounding districts, including Edmonton and Wood Green.
Do I need planning permission in Tottenham?
In England, a new or replaced hard surface of more than 5 m² in a front garden is permitted development only if it is porous, or if rainwater drains to a lawn, border or soakaway within the property. A fully permeable resin bound build, with a porous base under it, meets that test.
