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 Redhill, 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. Redhill mixes older streets with newer estates, and many homes have room for two or more cars.
Typical projects we can quote for in Redhill include preparing a drive to meet a new dropped kerb, replacing failed edges that have started to crumble and fitting setts or steel edging around a new drive. More about excavation and sub-base.

Planning in Redhill
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. Laying days in Redhill are confirmed close to the date, because rain and cold stop resin curing properly.
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.
Excavation and sub-base in Redhill: questions

How soon can you survey in Redhill?
Call 0800 088 6341 or use the quote tool and we will offer survey dates. Surveys are free and run all year.
Do I need planning permission in Redhill?
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.
