Driveway Extensions in Stanhope
Drainage on a driveway extension in Stanhope matters — adding hard surface increases run-off. Permeable surfaces (resin-bound, permeable block paving) usually avoid the planning headache; impermeable surfaces over 5 square metres need proper drainage to a soakaway or rain garden.
Why Choose Us for Driveway Extensions in Stanhope
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.
