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 Llandrindod Wells depend on what is found below the surface, so the survey looks closely at ground conditions, access and drainage. In and around Llandrindod Wells, drives often run further from the road, so edging, falls and drainage are planned along the whole length.
Projects we quote in and around Llandrindod Wells include setting a channel drain across a garage entrance, digging out an old drive and building a permeable sub-base and adding a soakaway so water stays on the property. More about excavation and sub-base.

General information for Wales, not legal advice.
Weather and working days
Mid Wales is wet and hilly, so falls, drainage and access for materials are planned at survey. Surveys run all year; resin work itself waits for a dry day above about 5°C.

Is the price fixed for Llandrindod Wells 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 Llandrindod Wells?
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.
