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 Cannock, 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. Cannock has a broad mix of housing, from terraces near the centre to detached homes on the edges.
In Cannock we can price work such as preparing a drive to meet a new dropped kerb, fitting setts or steel edging around a new drive and replacing failed edges that have started to crumble. More about excavation and sub-base.

Planning in Cannock
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 West Midlands is close to the UK average for rainfall, and much of the region sits on clay that holds water after wet spells. Laying days in Cannock are confirmed close to the date, because rain and cold stop resin curing properly.
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.
