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 West Molesey, 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. Plots around West Molesey are often generous, so turning areas and longer runs of edging are part of many quotes.
Projects we quote in and around West Molesey include fitting setts or steel edging around a new drive, setting a channel drain across a garage entrance and preparing a drive to meet a new dropped kerb. 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 West Molesey jobs are booked with the forecast in mind.

Excavation and sub-base in West Molesey: questions
Who approves dropped kerbs in West Molesey?
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.
What postcodes do you cover around West Molesey?
We cover KT8, KT12 and KT13 and the surrounding districts, including East Molesey and Sunbury-on-Thames.
Do I need planning permission in West 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.
