# Block Paving, Resin  
& Tarmac Driveways  
Built on Proper Sub-Bases

A driveway carries two tons of car, every day, for 20 years. The difference between one that lasts and one that ruts, sinks and weeds over is everything you can't see — and we build that part properly first.

What we do

## Driveways done properly — the first time.

What it is

New driveways in block paving, permeable block, resin-bound, resin-bonded, tarmac and concrete — all built on engineered sub-bases with proper edging, drainage and ducting for future services.

Who it's for

Homeowners replacing tired old driveways, anyone adding off-street parking, people fitting EV chargers who need ducting in place, and homeowners selling who know a tatty drive kills first impressions.

When you need it

When the existing driveway is rutted, sunken, weed-ridden or unsafe; when planning a new charger, gate or kerb dropper; or when the front of your house needs to match the standard of the back.

Why a specialist matters

Most failing driveways aren't the surface — it's the sub-base underneath. Anyone can lay a block, but very few crews dig deep enough, compact in proper layers, and edge-restrain correctly. We do, and that's why our driveways are still flat ten years later.

The cost of waiting

## A failed driveway is a four-figure mistake on display every time you come home.

### What happens if it's ignored

-   Inadequate sub-base depth (under 150mm of compacted Type 1) means rutting under wheel paths inside two winters.
-   Missing edge restraint allows blocks to walk outwards under traffic and the whole drive loses its lock within three years.
-   Non-permeable driveways over 5m² without planning permission can be enforced against — and that means lifting it back up.
-   No ducting installed at sub-base stage means digging up brand-new paving to run cables for a future EV charger or gate motor.

### Mistakes we fix every month

-   Hiring a 'driveway specialist' who turns up at the door with no fixed address, no insurance and a cash-only quote — National Trading Standards data shows driveway scams are the single biggest doorstep fraud in the UK.
-   Going for the cheapest blocks without checking edge consistency — uneven blocks make a beautiful drive look amateur from day one.
-   Resin laid over old tarmac with no preparation — fails at the substrate within 18 months, leaving you to pay twice.
-   No falls or drainage on a fully sealed driveway — water sheets across the pavement and into the road, and your neighbours rightly complain.

Our process

## A clear five-step system from first call to final handover.

1.  Step 1
    
    ### Site Visit & Inspection
    
    We come to you, measure up, photograph the site and listen properly to what you want from the driveway.
    
2.  Step 2
    
    ### Written Quote & Diagnosis
    
    You get an itemised, fixed-price quote within 48 hours — labour, materials, timings and what's specifically excluded.
    
3.  Step 3
    
    ### Schedule & Prepare
    
    We agree a start date, order materials in advance and protect your home — dust sheets, walkways, skip placement.
    
4.  Step 4
    
    ### Build & Communicate
    
    Daily progress updates from your dedicated foreman. No subcontractor merry-go-round — you see the same faces every day.
    
5.  Step 5
    
    ### Sign-Off & Handover
    
    Final walk-around with you, snags fixed on the spot — we don't leave until you're happy with the finish.
    

What you get

## Specific outcomes — not vague promises.

### 20-year driveway

Engineered sub-base, proper edge restraint, calibrated blocks or resin laid to manufacturer spec — built to outlast your next two cars.

### Compliant & permeable where needed

We design to current SuDS guidance so larger drives don't trigger planning permission — using permeable block or resin-bound systems.

### Future-proofed with ducting

EV charger ducting, gate motor cabling and garden lighting ducts installed at sub-base — no digging up the new drive in two years.

### Insured & traceable

Local family company, fixed address, fully insured, written contracts. None of the doorstep-scam patterns Trading Standards warns about.

### Disruption-controlled

Most domestic driveways finished in 5–8 days, with at least one parking space available throughout where possible.

### Clean handover

Sealed, swept, kiln-dried sand brushed in, site cleared. We don't disappear after the bill clears.

The detail

## Materials, methods and variations for driveways in Reading.

Driveways across the Reading, Newbury and Basingstoke area need to handle clay heave, root pressure from mature trees and 20+ years of daily car traffic. The right surface choice depends on the substrate, the drainage strategy and how the house looks. Here's how we build each type properly.

### Materials we work with

Block paving

60mm or 80mm calibrated concrete blocks from Marshalls, Brett or Stonemarket. Standard 60mm for cars, 80mm if a small van or motorhome is parking regularly. Charcoal, autumn, terracotta and grey blends.

Permeable block paving

Tobermore Hydropave or Marshalls Drivesys — wider joints filled with grit allow water to soak through into a reservoir sub-base. Removes the need for planning permission on larger drives.

Resin-bound surfacing

Natural aggregate trowelled into a clear UV-stable resin to give a smooth, permeable, seamless finish. Brands: Daltex, SureSet. 18mm minimum depth over compliant sub-base.

Tarmac & asphalt

Hot-rolled asphalt to BS 594987, 50mm wearing course over 60mm binder, kerb-edged. Quick, durable and cost-effective for large drives where appearance is less critical.

Concrete

Brushed, pattern-imprinted or exposed aggregate concrete — C25/30 reinforced with A393 mesh, minimum 100mm depth on properly compacted sub-base with expansion joints.

### Methods & techniques

Excavation & sub-base

Dig to 250–300mm below finished level, geotextile membrane, then 150mm minimum of Type 1 MOT compacted in 75mm layers with a heavy plate or roller.

Edge restraint

Concrete-haunched kerb or block edging on every perimeter — the single biggest factor in long-term driveway stability.

Drainage & falls

1:80 minimum cross-fall to a gully, soakaway or permeable margin. SuDS-compliant approach for any drive over 5m² that drains to the public highway.

Block laying & joint filling

Blocks laid on a 50mm sharp-sand laying course, screeded level, vibrated with a roller plate, then kiln-dried sand brushed across and vibrated again to lock the surface.

Resin trowelling

Substrate primed, aggregate and resin mixed at correct ratio in a forced-action mixer, trowelled to depth in a continuous run — no joins, no edges.

### Common variations & situations

-   Single car-width straight-in driveways
-   Double-width and turnaround driveways
-   Driveways with EV charger ducting and base
-   Permeable driveways for SuDS compliance
-   Driveways with electric gates and intercom ducting
-   Driveway extensions and parking bay additions
-   Resin overlay on sound existing tarmac or concrete
-   Heritage-style driveways with granite sett borders
-   Front garden conversions with kerb dropper applications
-   Combined driveway and front-garden patio work

### Residential vs commercial

Most of our driveway work is domestic. We take on small commercial car parks (offices, pubs, small developments in Reading and Newbury) where the spec is heavier-duty (80mm blocks, deeper sub-base, line marking) but the standard of preparation is the same.
