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 Fleetwood depend on what is found below the surface, so the survey looks closely at ground conditions, access and drainage. Fleetwood mixes older streets with newer estates, and many homes have room for two or more cars.
In Fleetwood we can price work such as digging out an old drive and building a permeable sub-base, adding a soakaway so water stays on the property and fitting setts or steel edging around a new drive. More about excavation and sub-base.

Planning in Fleetwood
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 North West is one of the wetter parts of England, so laying days are picked carefully and drainage under the drive gets extra attention. We only lay resin on dry days with ground and air above about 5°C, so Fleetwood jobs are booked with the forecast in mind.
How it works
The steps are simple: guide price, free survey, written quote with a fixed price once the specification is agreed, then a date that suits you and the weather.
Excavation and sub-base in Fleetwood: questions
How soon can you survey in Fleetwood?
Call 0800 088 6341 or use the quote tool and we will offer survey dates. Surveys are free and run all year.
Is the price fixed for Fleetwood jobs?
Yes, once the scope and specification are agreed in writing. If hidden ground conditions turn up, we explain and agree any change with you before doing extra work.
Do I need planning permission in Fleetwood?
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.
