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 Heckmondwike, 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. In and around Heckmondwike, drives often run further from the road, so edging, falls and drainage are planned along the whole length.
Across West Yorkshire, the projects we price include digging out an old drive and building a permeable sub-base, replacing failed edges that have started to crumble and setting a channel drain across a garage entrance. More about excavation and sub-base.

General information for England, not legal advice.
Weather and working days
Rainfall varies widely across Yorkshire, from the drier Vale of York to wetter Pennine towns, and cold snaps shorten the laying season at either end. If the weather turns on the day, we move the pour rather than risk a surface that will not cure.
