Frequently asked questions
What driveway surface is best?
Block paving is popular for kerb appeal and repairability — individual blocks can be replaced if damaged. Resin-bound gravel is permeable (no planning permission needed for front drives), low-maintenance and looks smart. Tarmac is the most cost-effective option for large driveways. Concrete is durable but prone to cracking.
Do I need planning permission for a new driveway?
If your new driveway drains to a soakaway or lawn (or uses a permeable surface like resin, gravel or permeable block paving), no permission is needed for most front drives. Impermeable surfaces over 5m² on a front drive require planning permission to ensure drainage is managed. Your driveway installer will advise.
How much does a new driveway cost?
A 50m² driveway costs approximately: tarmac £2,000–£3,500; block paving £3,500–£6,000; resin-bound £4,000–£7,500. These figures include excavation and base preparation. Getting 3 quotes is especially important for driveways as prices vary significantly between contractors.
How long does driveway installation take?
A 50m² block paving driveway typically takes 3–5 days. Resin-bound driveways take 1–2 days for installation after base preparation. Tarmac is fastest at 1–2 days for a typical domestic driveway. Allow a further 24–48 hours before driving on the surface.
How long does a new driveway last?
A well-installed block paved driveway lasts 20–30 years. Resin-bound lasts 15–25 years. Tarmac 15–20 years with occasional resealing. Longevity depends heavily on the sub-base — a proper MOT Type 1 compacted base is essential for all surface types.
Can I add a dropped kerb for my new driveway?
To drive over a pavement, you need a dropped kerb installed by your local council (or an approved contractor). You must apply to your council for a dropped kerb licence first — costs £500–£1,500 depending on the authority. A driveway without a dropped kerb means driving over the pavement, which is illegal.
