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 quote we prepare in Cannock says which base route we recommend and why, with the depth, the resin and the aggregate written down. Plot sizes and existing surfaces vary a lot across Cannock, so the survey comes before any fixed figure.
In Cannock we can price work such as adding a channel drain where a drive falls towards the garage, turning a cracked concrete drive into a seamless resin bound surface and overlaying sound tarmac on a two-car drive. More about driveway extensions and widening.

Planning in Cannock
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 West Midlands is close to the UK average for rainfall, and much of the region sits on clay that holds water after wet spells. We only lay resin on dry days with ground and air above about 5°C, so Cannock jobs are booked with the forecast in mind.
