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.
Groundwork prices in Uxbridge depend on what is found below the surface, so the survey looks closely at ground conditions, access and drainage. Many homes in Uxbridge have existing tarmac or block drives that can be assessed for an overlay or a rebuild.
Typical projects we can quote for in Uxbridge include replacing failed edges that have started to crumble, digging out an old drive and building a permeable sub-base and fitting setts or steel edging around a new drive. More about excavation and sub-base.

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