Driveway extensions and widening across Shropshire
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.
In Telford we can price work such as adding a channel drain where a drive falls towards the garage, framing a golden blend with charcoal granite setts and replacing tired block paving with a permeable resin build.
Prices in Shropshire
Guide prices for Shropshire are based on West Midlands rates, which are close to the UK average. The written quote after your survey is the figure that counts.
Driveway extensions and widening: £75–£120 per m².
As a guide, a 42 m² drive in the SY area with a dig-out and new permeable base would be around £3,150–£5,050, including VAT.
Planning in Shropshire
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.
Weather and working days
The West Midlands is close to the UK average for rainfall, and much of the region sits on clay that holds water after wet spells. Laying days in Telford are confirmed close to the date, because rain and cold stop resin curing properly.
