Working in Leicester
Leicester is the main centre for our work in Leicestershire, with Oadby (3.0 mi), Wigston (4.3 mi) and Earl Shilton (8.8 mi) close by. Survey visits in Leicester cover the LE1, LE3, LE4, LE5 postcode districts and the surrounding area.
Across Leicester, many front drives are compact, so access, skips and parking for the crew are planned at survey. Projects we quote in and around Leicester include building a gentle ramp to a back door, finishing garden steps with resin treads and stone nosings and replacing rocking patio slabs with a seamless resin patio.

Planning in Leicester
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 East Midlands sits around the UK average for rainfall, with a mix of clay vales and lighter ground that changes what the base needs. If the weather turns on the day, we move the pour rather than risk a surface that will not cure.
