Working in Birkenhead

Across Birkenhead, many front drives are compact, so access, skips and parking for the crew are planned at survey. Projects we quote in and around Birkenhead include digging out an old drive and building a permeable sub-base, fitting setts or steel edging around a new drive and adding a soakaway so water stays on the property.

Planning in Birkenhead
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 West is one of the wetter parts of England, so laying days are picked carefully and drainage under the drive gets extra attention. We only lay resin on dry days with ground and air above about 5°C, so Birkenhead jobs are booked with the forecast in mind.

Can you lay resin in Birkenhead in winter?
On dry days with ground and air above about 5°C, yes. The North West is one of the wetter parts of England, so laying days are picked carefully and drainage under the drive gets extra attention.

Dropped kerb consent comes from your council as local highway authority. We help with the application and get your drive ready to meet the new crossing.
