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 Littlehampton, 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 Littlehampton have existing tarmac or block drives that can be assessed for an overlay or a rebuild.
Typical projects we can quote for in Littlehampton include fitting setts or steel edging around a new drive, adding a soakaway so water stays on the property and replacing failed edges that have started to crumble. More about excavation and sub-base.

Planning in Littlehampton
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. If the weather turns on the day, we move the pour rather than risk a surface that will not cure.
How it works
The steps are simple: guide price, free survey, written quote with a fixed price once the specification is agreed, then a date that suits you and the weather.
Excavation and sub-base in Littlehampton: questions
How soon can you survey in Littlehampton?
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 Littlehampton?
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.
