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 Ashton-under-Lyne 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 Ashton-under-Lyne range from period properties to modern estates, each with its own drainage and access questions.
Typical projects we can quote for in Ashton-under-Lyne include adding a channel drain where a drive falls towards the garage, swapping loose gravel for a resin surface that stays put and building a fully permeable drive on a front garden. More about driveway extensions and widening.

Planning in Ashton-under-Lyne
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. If the weather turns on the day, we move the pour rather than risk a surface that will not cure.
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.
