Driveway Extensions in Seaham
Tarmac driveway extensions in Seaham need to be cut into the existing surface cleanly, the join hot-rolled, and the new section laid to the same depth and aggregate spec. Done properly the join is durable and barely visible.
Why Choose Us for Driveway Extensions in Seaham
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.
