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.
Before quoting groundworks in Golborne we check levels against door thresholds, look for shallow services and plan where spoil and materials will go. In and around Golborne, drives often run further from the road, so edging, falls and drainage are planned along the whole length.
Projects we quote in and around Golborne include setting a channel drain across a garage entrance, replacing failed edges that have started to crumble and fitting setts or steel edging around a new drive. More about excavation and sub-base.

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. Surveys run all year; resin work itself waits for a dry day above about 5°C.
