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 Heckmondwike says which base route we recommend and why, with the depth, the resin and the aggregate written down. Plots around Heckmondwike are often generous, so turning areas and longer runs of edging are part of many quotes.
Projects we quote in and around Heckmondwike include framing a golden blend with charcoal granite setts, replacing tired block paving with a permeable resin build and turning a cracked concrete drive into a seamless resin bound surface. More about driveway extensions and widening.

Planning in Heckmondwike
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
Rainfall varies widely across Yorkshire, from the drier Vale of York to wetter Pennine towns, and cold snaps shorten the laying season at either end. If the weather turns on the day, we move the pour rather than risk a surface that will not cure.
How it works
Guide price first, then a free visit, then a line-by-line quote. Nothing is booked until you have the specification in writing.
