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 Wembley depend on what is found below the surface, so the survey looks closely at ground conditions, access and drainage. Plot sizes and existing surfaces vary a lot across Wembley, so the survey comes before any fixed figure.
Typical projects we can quote for in Wembley include adding a soakaway so water stays on the property, digging out an old drive and building a permeable sub-base and setting a channel drain across a garage entrance. More about excavation and sub-base.

Planning in Wembley
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. Laying days in Wembley are confirmed close to the date, because rain and cold stop resin curing properly.
How it works
You start with a guide price, we visit to measure and check the site, you get a written quote, and we book the work for suitable weather.
Excavation and sub-base in Wembley: questions
Who approves dropped kerbs in Wembley?
Dropped kerb consent comes from your council as local highway authority. We help with the application and get your drive ready to meet the new crossing.
What postcodes do you cover around Wembley?
We cover HA0, HA9 and UB6 and the surrounding districts, including Harrow and Greenford.
Do I need planning permission in Wembley?
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.
