Driveway Extensions in Gateshead
Looking for honest advice on whether to extend or replace your Gateshead driveway? Free survey from Global Outdoor Design — we'll assess the existing surface, the achievable match, and whether extension is the right call.
Why Choose Us for Driveway Extensions in Gateshead
Surface Match Done Properly
We chase the right blocks or aggregate for your extension — not just whatever's on the merchant's pallet today. Match matters at the join.
Sub-Base Done Right
Every extension gets proper MOT Type 1 sub-base, compacted in layers. Skipping this is why so many cheap extensions sink within years.
Dropped Kerb Handled
Where a new vehicle access is needed, we handle the dropped-kerb licence application and the work — one project, one contractor.
Drainage and Permeability Sorted
We use permeable surfaces or proper soakaways so the extension doesn't create drainage or planning headaches.
