We're one of the only firms round here that publishes prices. No "call for a quote" games.
Every job is different, but the guide gives you honest per-square-metre ranges for resin, block paving, tarmac and imprinted concrete - including the groundwork, edgings and drainage, not just the surface. You'll know roughly what you're looking at before we ever set foot on your drive.
Full breakdown attached. If you want a fixed quote, drop us a message and we'll come and measure up - free, no pressure.
Tired old slabs gone, replaced with charcoal block paving and a crisp brindle border. Two days, start to finish.
Diary is filling up for July. If you want your drive done before the summer is out, now is the time to get a quote in. Message us for a free survey.
New for autumn: we're adding porcelain patios to what we offer.
Porcelain has come a long way - it's frost-proof, almost stain-proof, doesn't fade, and you'll never have to seal it. Pair it with a resin or block drive and you get a front-and-back that finally match.
We're taking bookings now for September onwards. If you've been thinking about the back garden as well as the drive, now's the time to ask.
Cold snap coming - a quick word on looking after your drive.
If you've got block paving, a fresh coat of sealant before the hard frosts does two jobs: it locks the jointing sand in so the blocks don't shift, and it stops water getting into the surface and freezing. Frozen water expands, and that's what cracks slabs and lifts blocks.
Grit, don't salt - rock salt eats into the surface and discolours it over time. And if a weed or two appears in spring, leave the jet-wash on a low setting; blasting the joints out causes more harm than the weeds ever would.
Ten years, give or take a thousand drives. A few things we know for certain now.
Cheap is expensive. The quotes that come in hundreds below ours almost always skip the sub-base, and we're the ones who get called to dig it all up two years later. The surface is 20% of the job; the bit underneath is the other 80%.
The other thing: tidy matters. We sheet up, we clean up every night, and we leave your front garden the way we found it. You're letting us onto your property for a week - that's a privilege, and we treat it like one.
Three days, start to finish, squeezed into 30 seconds.
Old cracked concrete out, 200mm of sub-base in, full edge restraints, then charcoal blocks laid in a 45° herringbone with a silver-grey border. Herringbone isn't just for looks - it's the strongest interlocking pattern there is, which is why we use it anywhere a car will turn.
Kiln-dried sand brushed in, the whole lot compacted and sealed. The owners hadn't parked on their own drive in two years. They have now.
Everyone focuses on the colour and the finish. We obsess over where the water goes.
Get the drainage wrong and it doesn't matter how good the paving looks - you'll get pooling, frost heave, and weeds within two winters. Since 2008 every new drive over five square metres has to deal with its own surface water by law, either with a permeable surface or a soakaway. We design that in from day one, not as an afterthought.
This one had a channel drain across the threshold and a soakaway dug to the back corner. Bone dry through the worst of the spring rain.
A lot of people ask what actually happens on install day. Here's the honest version - no shortcuts.
We start by lifting the old surface and digging down to a proper sub-base. That base is the part you never see and the part that decides whether your drive still looks good in ten years. We lay and compact MOT type-1 stone, set the falls so water runs away from the house, and only then do we think about the pretty bit.
The resin and aggregate are mixed on site in small batches and hand-trowelled while warm. It's permeable, so rain soaks straight through - no puddles, no run-off, fully SuDS-compliant. Walk on it the next day, drive on it in three.
Full build-up is in the spec sheet below.
Another resin-bound drive wrapped up this week. Permeable, no puddles, and it'll still look this good in ten years.\n\nSwipe the video to see the before and after - old cracked concrete lifted, a proper sub-base laid, then resin down in a single afternoon.
People ask why our quotes aren't the cheapest. This is why. A driveway is only as good as what's underneath it - skimp on the sub-base and you'll be relaying it in two years.
Slate-grey imprinted concrete with a sealed finish. One continuous pour, no weeds, no movement.
A proper machine-laid tarmac drive from last autumn - still looking spot on. Edged with block paving to finish.
Where it started. Our first ever resin-bound drive, back in 2024. Still checking in on it and it's held up brilliantly.
We are adding a fully permeable eco-paving range this summer - SUDS-compliant and great for the planning-conscious. More on this soon.
