Driveway extensions and widening across County Armagh
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.
In Craigavon we can price work such as turning a cracked concrete drive into a seamless resin bound surface, overlaying sound tarmac on a two-car drive and adding a channel drain where a drive falls towards the garage.

Planning in County Armagh
Northern Ireland has its own permitted development order for houses, with conditions on hard surfaces and drainage: the simplest route is a surface that keeps rainwater within your boundary. 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 it is worth checking 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 DfI Roads before any kerb work.
Weather and working days
Northern Ireland has frequent rain spread through the year, so laying days are planned around dry spells and permeable builds make sense. Surveys run all year; resin work itself waits for a dry day above about 5°C.
