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 Leek we check levels against door thresholds, look for shallow services and plan where spoil and materials will go. Plots around Leek are often generous, so turning areas and longer runs of edging are part of many quotes.
Across Staffordshire, the projects we price include preparing a drive to meet a new dropped kerb, setting a channel drain across a garage entrance and replacing failed edges that have started to crumble. More about excavation and sub-base.

Planning in Leek
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. We only lay resin on dry days with ground and air above about 5°C, so Leek 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 Leek: questions
Do I need planning permission in Leek?
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.
What postcodes do you cover around Leek?
We cover ST13 and the surrounding districts, including Kidsgrove and Longton.
Who approves dropped kerbs in Leek?
Dropped kerb consent comes from your council as local highway authority. We help with the application and get your drive ready to meet the new crossing.
