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.
Any quote we prepare in Wilmslow says which base route we recommend and why, with the depth, the resin and the aggregate written down. Many homes in Wilmslow have existing tarmac or block drives that can be assessed for an overlay or a rebuild.
Across Cheshire, the projects we price include overlaying sound tarmac on a two-car drive, replacing tired block paving with a permeable resin build and building a fully permeable drive on a front garden. More about driveway extensions and widening.
Prices for driveway extensions and widening in Wilmslow
Labour and material costs in the North West run a little below the UK average, and the guide figures below reflect that. They include VAT and are confirmed after a survey.
As a guide, a 33 m² drive in the SK9 area with a dig-out and new permeable base would be around £2,300–£3,700, including VAT.
| Service | Guide price inc VAT |
|---|---|
| Driveway extensions and widening | £70–£110 per m² |
| Dropped kerb applications | about £1,000–£2,500 per crossing, set by the highway authority |
| Resin patios | £40–£110 per m² |

Planning in Wilmslow
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.
General information for England, not legal advice.
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 Wilmslow jobs are booked with the forecast in mind.
How it works
Guide price first, then a free visit, then a line-by-line quote. Nothing is booked until you have the specification in writing.
