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 King's Lynn 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 King's Lynn range from period properties to modern estates, each with its own drainage and access questions.
Typical projects we can quote for in King's Lynn include building a fully permeable drive on a front garden, overlaying sound tarmac on a two-car drive and replacing tired block paving with a permeable resin build. More about driveway extensions and widening.

Planning in King's Lynn
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 East of England is the driest part of the UK, which gives a long resin laying season, though heavy clays in places mean the sub-base needs designing for slow drainage. If the weather turns on the day, we move the pour rather than risk a surface that will not cure.
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.
