Driveway extensions and widening across Perth and Kinross
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.
Extending is part groundwork, part planning question. The new area is dug out and built up like any new drive. If it stays within your boundary and the existing dropped kerb still serves it, it is usually straightforward.
Projects we quote in and around Perth include building a fully permeable drive on a front garden, swapping loose gravel for a resin surface that stays put and adding a channel drain where a drive falls towards the garage.
Prices in Perth and Kinross
For Tayside, where typical costs are below the UK average, these are the ranges we would expect before seeing your property.
Driveway extensions and widening: £65–£105 per m².
For a 51 m² drive in Perth and Kinross, built with a dig-out and new permeable base, expect roughly £3,400–£5,450 including VAT before any drainage or kerb work.
Planning in Perth and Kinross
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.
Weather and working days
Tayside has cold winters and a shorter laying season, so jobs are usually booked for the warmer months. Spring to autumn offers the most laying days in Perth and Kinross, but dry, mild winter days can work too.
