What driveway extensions and widening involves

A driveway extension adds new hard-standing to an existing drive, usually by taking in part of the front garden, so more cars can park off the road. The new area needs its own excavation and base, and the whole drive is often resurfaced in resin so old and new match.

Before quoting in Fraserburgh we look at three things: the base, the falls, and where water goes. Those decide the specification, and the specification decides the price. Around Fraserburgh, longer drives and rural access are common, so deliveries and mixing space are planned at survey.

Typical projects we can quote for in Fraserburgh include turning a cracked concrete drive into a seamless resin bound surface, swapping loose gravel for a resin surface that stays put and replacing tired block paving with a permeable resin build. More about driveway extensions and widening.

Planning in Fraserburgh

Scotland's householder permitted development rules allow many hard surfaces at a house where the surface is porous or water drains to a permeable area within the property. A fully permeable resin bound build, with a porous base under it, meets that test.

Flats, listed buildings and conservation areas are treated differently, so if any of those apply we suggest a quick check with your council's planning team before work starts.

If cars will cross the pavement in a new place, or the crossing needs widening, consent is needed from your council as roads authority before any kerb work.

General information for Scotland, not legal advice.

Weather and working days

North East Scotland is relatively dry for Scotland but cold, so the laying season is shorter and a free-draining base helps with frost. If the weather turns on the day, we move the pour rather than risk a surface that will not cure.
