Overview

Driveways across Surrey & London

A new driveway lifts the whole front of a property, and it has to stand up to daily use and the weather for years. We install tarmac, resin-bound, block paving and gravel driveways across Surrey & London, each laid on a properly excavated and compacted base with drainage built in. The finish is your choice; the groundwork underneath is where the quality really lives.

The right surface depends on the look you want, the budget and how the drive will be used, and we are happy to talk through the honest pros and cons of each at the survey. Every driveway we lay starts with proper excavation and a compacted sub-base, with drainage designed to meet the rules on surface-water run-off, and we finish with neat edgings and kerbs against the property.

What’s included

  • Excavation and a compacted sub-base
  • Drainage that meets the rules on surface water run-off
  • Your choice of tarmac, resin, block paving or gravel
  • Edgings, kerbs and a tidy finish against the property

FAQs

Driveways FAQs

Do I need planning permission for a new driveway?

Most driveways do not, provided surface water drains to a permeable area or soakaway rather than the road. We design the drainage to keep the job within permitted development where possible.

Which surface lasts longest?

All four last well when the base is right. Tarmac and block paving are the most hard-wearing for heavy use; resin and gravel suit a lighter, decorative finish. We talk you through the trade-offs at the survey.

How long does a new driveway take?

A typical domestic driveway is a few days from excavation to finish, depending on the size, surface and drainage. You get a programme with your quote.

Can you remove and dispose of the old driveway?

Yes. We excavate and take away the existing surface and spoil as part of the job, and leave the site clean.

Which surface is best for my home?

It depends on the look you want, the budget and how the drive is used. We give honest advice on tarmac, resin, block paving and gravel at the free survey.
