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 Hoddesdon depend on what is found below the surface, so the survey looks closely at ground conditions, access and drainage. Homes in Hoddesdon range from period properties to modern estates, each with its own drainage and access questions.
Typical projects we can quote for in Hoddesdon include digging out an old drive and building a permeable sub-base, setting a channel drain across a garage entrance and preparing a drive to meet a new dropped kerb. More about excavation and sub-base.

Planning in Hoddesdon
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
The East of England is the driest part of the UK, which gives a long resin laying season, though heavy clays in places mean the sub-base needs designing for slow drainage. If the weather turns on the day, we move the pour rather than risk a surface that will not cure.
