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.
Groundwork prices in Clydach depend on what is found below the surface, so the survey looks closely at ground conditions, access and drainage. In and around Clydach, 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 Clydach include adding a soakaway so water stays on the property, fitting setts or steel edging around a new drive and replacing failed edges that have started to crumble. More about excavation and sub-base.

Planning in Clydach
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 Wales, not legal advice.
Weather and working days
South Wales is wetter than most of England, so a permeable build or a planned route for water is essential on every drive. Surveys run all year; resin work itself waits for a dry day above about 5°C.
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 Clydach: questions
Is the price fixed for Clydach 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 Clydach?
Wales has its own permitted development rules on the same principle: a front-garden hard surface should be porous or drain to a permeable area on the property. A fully permeable resin bound build, with a porous base under it, meets that test.
Who approves dropped kerbs in Clydach?
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.
