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 Banbridge says which base route we recommend and why, with the depth, the resin and the aggregate written down. Plots around Banbridge are often generous, so turning areas and longer runs of edging are part of many quotes.
In Banbridge we can price work such as widening a drive into the front garden for a second car, framing a golden blend with charcoal granite setts and replacing tired block paving with a permeable resin build. More about driveway extensions and widening.

Planning in Banbridge
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. We only lay resin on dry days with ground and air above about 5°C, so Banbridge jobs are booked with the forecast in mind.
How it works
The steps are simple: guide price, free survey, written quote with a fixed price once the specification is agreed, then a date that suits you and the weather.
