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 Stoke-on-Trent we check levels against door thresholds, look for shallow services and plan where spoil and materials will go. Stoke-on-Trent has everything from tight terraced frontages to large suburban drives, so no two quotes look the same.
Projects we quote in and around Stoke-on-Trent include digging out an old drive and building a permeable sub-base, fitting setts or steel edging around a new drive and setting a channel drain across a garage entrance. More about excavation and sub-base.

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 Stoke-on-Trent are confirmed close to the date, because rain and cold stop resin curing properly.
