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 Portadown we look at three things: the base, the falls, and where water goes. Those decide the specification, and the specification decides the price. Homes in Portadown range from period properties to modern estates, each with its own drainage and access questions.
In Portadown we can price work such as building a fully permeable drive on a front garden, replacing tired block paving with a permeable resin build and adding a channel drain where a drive falls towards the garage. More about driveway extensions and widening.

Planning in Portadown
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.
General information for Northern Ireland, not legal advice.
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. Laying days in Portadown are confirmed close to the date, because rain and cold stop resin curing properly.
How it works
Get a guide price online, book a free survey, receive an itemised written quote, then agree a date. Most drives over a ready base are laid in a day.
