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 Stretford says which base route we recommend and why, with the depth, the resin and the aggregate written down. Many homes in Stretford have existing tarmac or block drives that can be assessed for an overlay or a rebuild.
In Stretford we can price work such as overlaying sound tarmac on a two-car drive, turning a cracked concrete drive into a seamless resin bound surface and swapping loose gravel for a resin surface that stays put. More about driveway extensions and widening.

Planning in Stretford
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. Surveys run all year; resin work itself waits for a dry day above about 5°C.
How it works
You start with a guide price, we visit to measure and check the site, you get a written quote, and we book the work for suitable weather.
