Driveway extensions and widening across County Tyrone
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.
If the extension means cars will cross the pavement in a new place, the dropped kerb has to be widened or a new one added, and that needs consent from the highway authority (your council, or DfI Roads in Northern Ireland). We price the drive and help with the application, but the kerb work itself is carried out by that authority or its approved contractor.
Projects we quote in and around Omagh include replacing tired block paving with a permeable resin build, turning a cracked concrete drive into a seamless resin bound surface and overlaying sound tarmac on a two-car drive.
Prices in County Tyrone
Guide prices for County Tyrone are based on Northern Ireland rates, which are below the UK average. The written quote after your survey is the figure that counts.
Driveway extensions and widening: £65–£105 per m².
As a guide, a 41 m² drive in the BT area with a dig-out and new permeable base would be around £2,700–£4,350, including VAT.
Planning in County Tyrone
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. If the weather turns on the day, we move the pour rather than risk a surface that will not cure.
