Driveway extensions and widening across Powys
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.
Resurfacing the old and new areas together in one resin bound pour avoids a visible join and gives you one even colour across the whole drive.
Typical projects we can quote for in Newtown include overlaying sound tarmac on a two-car drive, turning a cracked concrete drive into a seamless resin bound surface and replacing tired block paving with a permeable resin build.
Prices in Powys
Guide prices for Powys are based on Mid Wales rates, which are below the UK average. The written quote after your survey is the figure that counts.
Driveway extensions and widening: £70–£110 per m².
As a guide, a 34 m² drive in the LD area with a dig-out and new permeable base would be around £2,300–£3,700, including VAT.
Planning in Powys
Wales has its own permitted development rules on the same principle: a front-garden hard surface should be porous or drain to a permeable area on the property. A fully permeable resin bound build, with a porous base under it, meets that test.
In Wales, new construction with drainage implications covering 100 m² or more can also need approval from the council's SuDS Approving Body (SAB). Most domestic drives are smaller than that, but larger drives and extensions are checked at survey.
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.
Weather and working days
Mid Wales is wet and hilly, so falls, drainage and access for materials are planned at survey. Surveys run all year; resin work itself waits for a dry day above about 5°C.
