PLAN THE WORK
What we assess for your driveway
The survey helps define the work for your property. Your quotation confirms what is included. Excavation is done with a Kubota U27 mini digger and the sub-base is compacted with a 1.2 m ride-on roller, not just a hand plate compactor.
Groundwork & drainage
Ground conditions, levels and where surface water can go.
Surface & borders
Compare finishes, edging and access-cover details for your property.
Access during the work
Parking, deliveries, waste removal and the order of installation.

Photographs & project detailsYOUR WRITTEN QUOTATION
What affects your driveway quote?
Size and material matter, but so do excavation, disposal, restricted access and the condition of the existing ground. Steps, drainage and boundary work can also change the scope.
Ask for the proposed preparation and finish to be named in the quotation. We agree which work is included before installation; unexpected ground conditions or requested changes need an agreed response.

PLANNING YOUR DRIVEWAY
Driveway installation: your questions
Practical points to discuss before agreeing the work.
Book a free site surveyCan you replace an existing driveway?
Yes. We discuss removal of the existing surface, preparation, drainage, boundaries and the new finish as part of the survey. The quotation confirms which work is included for your property.
Do I need to choose a material before enquiring?
No. Tell us how you use the driveway and the look you prefer. We can discuss block paving, imprinted concrete, resin-bound, tarmac and gravel options, subject to your site, drainage requirements and agreed scope.
When can I use the driveway again?
This depends on the surface, the work underneath it and site conditions. We discuss access arrangements before starting and confirm when walking and vehicle use can resume. Sending an enquiry does not reserve an installation date.
Does sending an enquiry book a survey?
No. We’ll contact you to discuss your project and confirm a suitable survey date where appropriate. You do not need to know the exact size or specification to enquire.
How long does a new driveway take?
Most installations take 2 to 5 days on site, depending on size, excavation and access. Your written quotation confirms the timescale.
Do I need planning permission?
Usually not for a house’s front garden if the surface is permeable or rainwater drains to a lawn or border. An impermeable surface over 5 square metres that drains elsewhere normally needs planning permission; restrictions can also apply. A new dropped kerb needs the highway authority’s approval. We explain what needs checking at your survey.
Common questions
Which driveway surface is best?
It depends on your budget, the look you want and how the water drains. Block paving suits most homes and is easy to repair; gravel is quick and drains naturally; resin-bound and tarmac give a smooth finish; imprinted concrete gives a patterned look. We bring samples of each to your free survey.
How long does a new driveway take?
Most installs take 2–5 days on site, depending on size, access and the surface you choose.
How much does a new driveway cost?
Block paving starts from £135 per m² all-in, with no VAT to add. Other surfaces are priced after a free design survey, and every price is fixed in a written quote.
Do I need planning permission for a new driveway?
Not if the surface is permeable or the rain drains onto a lawn or border. You need it to cover more than 5 m² of front garden with a hard surface that drains onto the road, and a dropped kerb always needs your council's approval.
What guarantee do you give on driveways?
A written 10-year workmanship guarantee on every new driveway, whichever surface you choose.
Which areas do you cover?
Ascot, Sunninghill, Sunningdale, Windsor, Bracknell, Lightwater, Windlesham, Virginia Water, Egham, Staines-upon-Thames, Chertsey, Weybridge, Walton-on-Thames, Cobham, Esher, Woking, Chobham and Maidenhead.
