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 East Molesey we check levels against door thresholds, look for shallow services and plan where spoil and materials will go. In and around East Molesey, drives often run further from the road, so edging, falls and drainage are planned along the whole length.
Typical projects we can quote for in East Molesey include preparing a drive to meet a new dropped kerb, fitting setts or steel edging around a new drive and adding a soakaway so water stays on the property. More about excavation and sub-base.

General information for England, not legal advice.
Weather and working days
The South East is relatively dry, with long laying seasons, but clay soils are common across much of the region and can drain slowly. We only lay resin on dry days with ground and air above about 5°C, so East Molesey jobs are booked with the forecast in mind.

Excavation and sub-base in East Molesey: questions
What postcodes do you cover around East Molesey?
We cover KT8, KT7 and KT10 and the surrounding districts, including West Molesey and Esher.
Is the price fixed for East Molesey 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 East Molesey?
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.
