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 Cheadle Hulme, 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. Many homes in Cheadle Hulme have existing tarmac or block drives that can be assessed for an overlay or a rebuild.
Projects we quote in and around Cheadle Hulme include setting a channel drain across a garage entrance, replacing failed edges that have started to crumble and adding a soakaway so water stays on the property. More about excavation and sub-base.

Planning in Cheadle Hulme

General information for England, not legal advice.
Weather and working days
The North West is one of the wetter parts of England, so laying days are picked carefully and drainage under the drive gets extra attention. If the weather turns on the day, we move the pour rather than risk a surface that will not cure.

Excavation and sub-base in Cheadle Hulme: questions

How soon can you survey in Cheadle Hulme?
Call 0800 088 6341 or use the quote tool and we will offer survey dates. Surveys are free and run all year.
Do I need planning permission in Cheadle Hulme?
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.
