FAQs

Your questions, answered.

Anything else? Ask in the quote form and we’ll answer it at your free site visit.

Are the site visit and quote free?

Yes. We come out, look at the job and talk it through, then send you a quote. No charge and no obligation.

Can you take up my old driveway?

Yes. Taking up and removing the old surface is part of the job.

Do I need planning permission?

If you’re paving a front garden over 5 square metres with a surface water can’t drain through, and the rain doesn’t run off to a lawn or border, you’ll usually need planning permission. Permeable surfaces, or directing the water to a soakaway, avoid this. We’ll talk it through, but your council has the final say.

Can you extend my driveway?

Yes. Extending or repairing an existing drive is something we quote for too.

Do you cover my area?

We work mainly in Westerham, Biggin Hill, Bromley and Sevenoaks, and also take on projects in Croydon, Tunbridge Wells and across Kent. Put your postcode in the quote form and we’ll confirm.
