Great Lumley is a suburban pocket inside Chester-le-Street, and the practical realities on site aren't the same as a generic Chester-le-Street job. We plan around longer single-vehicle drives that often need widening or re-shaping. That's why this page exists separately to ourChester-le-Street page— the work, access and finishes are typically different even when the postcode is shared.
Our work across County Durham takes us from the cobbled streets of the historic city centre to the former colliery villages and market towns that make up much of the county. We understand the local planning considerations and building styles that vary widely across this diverse area.
Chester-le-Street is a historic market town between Durham and Gateshead, home to Durham County Cricket Club's ground. The town has a mix of Victorian terraces near the centre and expanding modern estates on its outskirts.
Every area has its own requirements. Here's what we consider when working in Great Lumley.

Solid-built semi-detached homes with good-sized plots, perfect for adding a new driveway or patio.
Newer builds with open-plan gardens that suit contemporary patio designs and low-maintenance landscaping.
Houses that have been extended often need the driveway or roof adjusted to match the new footprint.
Properties on corner plots have more frontage and garden space, offering greater scope for creative exterior design.

We visit your property to discuss your vision, measure the driveway area, and assess ground conditions.

The existing surface is removed, sub-base is laid and compacted, and edges and drainage are installed.
Your new driveway is installed by our skilled team using premium materials and proven techniques.
