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 Thornaby-on-Tees, 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. In and around Thornaby-on-Tees, drives often run further from the road, so edging, falls and drainage are planned along the whole length.
In Thornaby-on-Tees we can price work such as fitting setts or steel edging around a new drive, replacing failed edges that have started to crumble and digging out an old drive and building a permeable sub-base. More about excavation and sub-base.

Weather and working days
Rainfall varies widely across Yorkshire, from the drier Vale of York to wetter Pennine towns, and cold snaps shorten the laying season at either end. We only lay resin on dry days with ground and air above about 5°C, so Thornaby-on-Tees jobs are booked with the forecast in mind.
How it works
You start with a guide price, we visit to measure and check the site, you get a written quote, and we book the work for suitable weather.
