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 Tonypandy we check levels against door thresholds, look for shallow services and plan where spoil and materials will go. Many homes in Tonypandy have existing tarmac or block drives that can be assessed for an overlay or a rebuild.
Typical projects we can quote for in Tonypandy include fitting setts or steel edging around a new drive, setting a channel drain across a garage entrance and replacing failed edges that have started to crumble. More about excavation and sub-base.

General information for Wales, not legal advice.
Weather and working days
South Wales is wetter than most of England, so a permeable build or a planned route for water is essential on every drive. Spring to autumn offers the most laying days in Mid Glamorgan, but dry, mild winter days can work too.
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 Tonypandy: questions
Is the price fixed for Tonypandy 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 Tonypandy?
Wales has its own permitted development rules on the same principle: a front-garden hard surface should be porous or drain to a permeable area on the property. A fully permeable resin bound build, with a porous base under it, meets that test.
