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 resin job in Wishaw starts the same way: we check whether your existing surface is sound enough to overlay or needs digging out, because that decides both the price and how long the surface lasts. Homes in Wishaw range from period properties to modern estates, each with its own drainage and access questions.
In Wishaw we can price work such as overlaying sound tarmac on a two-car drive, framing a golden blend with charcoal granite setts and building a fully permeable drive on a front garden. More about driveway extensions and widening.

Planning in Wishaw
Scotland's householder permitted development rules allow many hard surfaces at a house where the surface is porous or water drains to a permeable area within the property. 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 we suggest a quick check 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 your council as roads authority before any kerb work.
General information for Scotland, not legal advice.
Weather and working days
Central Scotland gets steady rainfall through the year, so a permeable build and well-planned falls keep drives free of standing water. Spring to autumn offers the most laying days in Lanarkshire, but dry, mild winter days can work too.
