Frequently asked questions
Do I need planning permission for a new driveway?
In England a new or replacement driveway at the front of a house needs permission unless it is permeable or drains to a lawn or border rather than the road. Dropping the kerb needs separate approval from the council.
How long before I can park on it?
It varies with the material: tarmac and block paving are usually usable within a day or two, resin needs longer to cure, and concrete longest of all. The contractor will tell you, and ignoring it leaves marks that do not come out.
What causes a driveway to sink?
A sub base that was too shallow, not compacted, or laid on soft ground. Good contractors dig out to a set depth, lay and compact hardcore in layers, and use edge restraints. Ask to see this on the quote.

What should I check before I hire a driveway and paving contractor?
Ask for a written quote and what it includes, who will do the work, whether they are insured, and any registration the trade needs, such as Gas Safe for gas work or a Part P scheme for electrics. Never pay the full amount up front.
