Driveway FAQs
How long will my driveway installation take?
A standard driveway installation typically takes between 3 to 7 days from start to finish. This can vary depending on the weather, the size of the project, and the extent of the groundwork needed. We always aim to complete the work efficiently and with minimal disruption to your daily life.
Do I need planning permission for a new driveway in Buckinghamshire?
In many cases, you do not need planning permission for a new or replacement driveway. However, regulations from Buckinghamshire Council state that if the new driveway area in your front garden is over five square metres, you must use a permeable (or porous) surface like block paving or resin-bound. This allows water to drain naturally, preventing flooding. If you choose a non-permeable material like tarmac, you must also install adequate drainage (a soakaway or channel drain). We are experts in these local regulations and will ensure your new driveway installation in Aylesbury is fully compliant.
How much does a new driveway cost in the Aylesbury and Buckinghamshire area?
The cost of a new driveway depends on several key factors, including the size of the area in square metres (), the material you choose (e.g., block paving, tarmac, resin), and the amount of groundwork required. As a local Buckinghamshire business, we offer competitive pricing. The best way to get an accurate figure is to contact us for a free, on-site survey and a detailed, no-obligation quote for your specific project.
How do I get a dropped kerb for my property in Buckinghamshire?
A dropped kerb requires a specific application to Buckinghamshire Council’s Highways department. This is a separate process from the driveway installation itself and is necessary to gain legal access across the public pavement. We have extensive experience working on properties across High Wycombe, Aylesbury, and Maidenhead and can advise you on the correct procedure and ensure our work meets the council’s specifications.
What is the most durable and low-maintenance driveway material?
Each material has unique benefits. Block paving is incredibly durable and easy to repair, as individual blocks can be replaced. Resin-bound driveways are seamless, weed-resistant, and require very little maintenance. Tarmac is a cost-effective and hard-wearing option, perfect for high-traffic areas.
