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 Egham we check levels against door thresholds, look for shallow services and plan where spoil and materials will go. Homes in Egham range from period properties to modern estates, each with its own drainage and access questions.
In Egham we can price work such as digging out an old drive and building a permeable sub-base, fitting setts or steel edging around a new drive and preparing a drive to meet a new dropped kerb. More about excavation and sub-base.

Planning in Egham
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 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 Egham jobs are booked with the forecast in mind.
How it works
Guide price first, then a free visit, then a line-by-line quote. Nothing is booked until you have the specification in writing.
