Common Driveway Concerns

Will a new driveway really last, or will it crack and sink?

Longevity comes down to preparation. The contractors we introduce excavate properly, lay compacted MOT sub-base to the correct depth, and install solid edging. This foundation work is where cheaper quotes cut corners — and why those driveways fail within a few years.

How do I know which driveway type is right for my property?

The specialist we match you with will assess your site, discuss how you use the driveway, and recommend options that fit your budget. Block paving offers versatility, tarmac is cost-effective, resin-bound is low-maintenance. They will explain the trade-offs honestly.

What about drainage and planning permission?

Driveways over 5m² using non-permeable materials need to drain properly to avoid planning requirements. The contractors we introduce design in appropriate drainage or use permeable options, and they handle the technical details with you directly.

How long does a new driveway take to install?
A typical domestic driveway takes 3-5 days depending on size and the materials used. This includes excavation, laying the sub-base, and finishing. Larger or more complex driveways may take longer. The specialist will give you a clear timeline in your quote.
Do I need planning permission for a new driveway?
If your driveway uses permeable materials or drains into your garden, you usually don't need permission. Non-permeable surfaces over 5 square metres draining onto the road do require approval. The contractors we introduce design driveways to avoid planning issues where possible.
Can a new driveway be laid over an existing one?
Sometimes, but it depends on the condition of the existing surface. If the base is solid and level, the specialist can sometimes overlay it. But if there are cracks, settlement, or drainage issues, the old surface will need to be removed. The contractor we match you with will assess this during your free quote.
