Using the U17-5 on a Cannock job
In the 2021 Census 46.7% of Cannock Chase homes were semi-detached, the highest share of any town we deliver to. Most have the metre of side access the U17-5 needs, and once through it opens its tracks to 1,240 mm for a steadier dig.
Cannock, Hednesford and Heath Hayes grew on coal. Before footings or a soakaway, check the free mining risk map; if your plot is in a Development High Risk Area, building control will expect a mining report.
For a new drive, Staffordshire County Council takes a £137 assessment fee for the dropped kerb and wants a space at least 4.8 m deep. The U17-5 digs out behind it and the dumper clears the spoil.
Before the U17-5 arrives in Cannock
- Measure the narrowest point between road and dig: 1.0 m is enough.
- Check the coal mining risk map for your postcode.
- Run a free LinesearchbeforeUdig search for cables and pipes.
- Have an adult on site for the handover.
