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.
Before quoting in Redditch we look at three things: the base, the falls, and where water goes. Those decide the specification, and the specification decides the price. Plot sizes and existing surfaces vary a lot across Redditch, so the survey comes before any fixed figure.
In Redditch we can price work such as framing a golden blend with charcoal granite setts, overlaying sound tarmac on a two-car drive and replacing tired block paving with a permeable resin build. More about driveway extensions and widening.
Prices for driveway extensions and widening in Redditch
Labour and material costs in the West Midlands run close to the UK average, and the guide figures below reflect that. They include VAT and are confirmed after a survey.
As a guide, a 65 m² drive in the B96 area with a dig-out and new permeable base would be around £4,900–£7,800, including VAT.
| Service | Guide price inc VAT |
|---|---|
| Driveway extensions and widening | £75–£120 per m² |
| Resin patios | £45–£120 per m² |
| Resin driveway cleaning | £80–£200 per visit |

Planning in Redditch
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. If the weather turns on the day, we move the pour rather than risk a surface that will not cure.
How it works
You start with a guide price, we visit to measure and check the site, you get a written quote, and we book the work for suitable weather.
