FAQ's
What are the most popular driveway materials you install?
In Tonbridge, Tunbridge Wells, and across Kent, the most popular driveway materials we install include block paving, resin-bound, tarmac, and gravel. We also offer natural stone and concrete driveways. Each offers unique benefits in terms of aesthetics, durability, and cost, and we’ll help you choose the best fit for your home.
How long does it take to install a new driveway?
The duration of a new driveway installation varies depending on the size, complexity of the design, chosen material, and required groundwork. A typical block paving or tarmac driveway for an average home might take 3-7 days, while a more complex resin-bound driveway with extensive drainage solutions could take longer. We’ll provide a clear timeline with your free quotation.
Do you offer driveway repair services for existing driveways?
Yes, we provide comprehensive driveway repair and restoration services for existing driveways across Kent and East Sussex. This includes repairing cracks, potholes, uneven surfaces, re-laying loose blocks, cleaning, sealing, and improving drainage to extend the life and appearance of your driveway.
What is the importance of groundwork for a new driveway?
Proper groundwork is absolutely crucial for the longevity and stability of your new driveway. It involves thorough excavation, laying a robust sub-base (like MOT Type 1 hardcore), and ensuring effective drainage. Without solid groundwork, your driveway is prone to sinking, cracking, and water retention, no matter the top surface.
Are your driveways permeable or do they require additional drainage?
We can install both permeable and non-permeable driveways. Resin-bound driveways are naturally permeable. For non-permeable options like some block paving or tarmac, we design and install appropriate drainage solutions (e.g., ACO drains, soakaways) to comply with regulations and prevent surface water issues on your property in Crowborough, Marden, or Cranbrook.
Will a new driveway increase my property's value?
Absolutely. A well-designed, professionally installed, and durable new driveway significantly enhances your home’s kerb appeal and functionality. This is a highly desirable feature for potential buyers and often leads to a noticeable increase in your property’s value in Tonbridge, Tunbridge Wells, and the surrounding Kent areas.
How do I maintain my new driveway?
Maintenance depends on the material. Block paving requires occasional weeding and cleaning. Resin-bound is very low maintenance, needing only occasional washing. Tarmac may benefit from periodic sealing. We provide specific driveway maintenance advice tailored to your chosen material upon completion of your project.
