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 Tipton, 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. Many homes in Tipton have existing tarmac or block drives that can be assessed for an overlay or a rebuild.
Projects we quote in and around Tipton 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.

Planning in Tipton
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 West Midlands is close to the UK average for rainfall, and much of the region sits on clay that holds water after wet spells. If the weather turns on the day, we move the pour rather than risk a surface that will not cure.
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 Tipton: questions
How soon can you survey in Tipton?
Call 0800 088 6341 or use the quote tool and we will offer survey dates. Surveys are free and run all year.
Who approves dropped kerbs in Tipton?
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.
Do I need planning permission in Tipton?
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.
