Driveway extensions and widening across Buckinghamshire
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.
Resurfacing the old and new areas together in one resin bound pour avoids a visible join and gives you one even colour across the whole drive.
Across Buckinghamshire, the projects we price include framing a golden blend with charcoal granite setts, swapping loose gravel for a resin surface that stays put and overlaying sound tarmac on a two-car drive.
Prices in Buckinghamshire
Guide prices for Buckinghamshire are based on South East rates, which are above the UK average. The written quote after your survey is the figure that counts.
Driveway extensions and widening: £85–£135 per m².
Worked example: a 67 m² drive in Buckinghamshire with a dig-out and new permeable base would typically come to about £5,650–£9,000, including VAT.
Planning in Buckinghamshire
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.
If cars will cross the pavement in a new place, or the crossing needs widening, consent is needed from your council as local highway authority before any kerb work.
Weather and working days
The South East is relatively dry, with long laying seasons, but clay soils are common across much of the region and can drain slowly. If the weather turns on the day, we move the pour rather than risk a surface that will not cure.
