Working in Durham
Durham is the main centre for our work in County Durham, with Chester-le-Street (5.7 mi), Stanley (8.0 mi) and Bishop Auckland (9.3 mi) close by. Survey visits in Durham cover the DH1 postcode district and the surrounding area.
Many homes in Durham have existing tarmac or block drives that can be assessed for an overlay or a rebuild. Typical projects we can quote for in Durham include framing a golden blend with charcoal granite setts, adding a channel drain where a drive falls towards the garage and swapping loose gravel for a resin surface that stays put.

Planning in Durham
In England, a new or replaced hard surface of more than 5 m² in a front garden is permitted development only if it is porous, or if rainwater drains to a lawn, border or soakaway within the property. A fully permeable resin bound build, with a porous base under it, meets that test.
Permitted development rights apply to houses, not flats or maisonettes, and some conservation areas have Article 4 directions that remove them. Listed buildings can need consent if railings or historic walls are affected.
Weather and working days
The North East has cool winters, so resin is laid in the warmer months or on dry, mild days when ground and air are above about 5°C. Laying days in Durham are confirmed close to the date, because rain and cold stop resin curing properly.
