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 Keighley depend on what is found below the surface, so the survey looks closely at ground conditions, access and drainage. Many homes in Keighley have existing tarmac or block drives that can be assessed for an overlay or a rebuild.
Typical projects we can quote for in Keighley include fitting setts or steel edging around a new drive, replacing failed edges that have started to crumble and adding a soakaway so water stays on the property. More about excavation and sub-base.

Planning in Keighley
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
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.
