Local Driveway Company in Altrincham
We design and lay driveways in Altrincham for every kind of home in WA14 and WA15, from the Edwardian villas around The Downs to the 1930s semis off Manchester Road and the newer estates at Broadheath. Block paving, resin bound and tarmac driveways are all installed by our own team, and every job starts with a free site survey.
Altrincham homes vary a lot street to street, so we never quote from a photo. We measure the ground, check the falls towards the road and look at what is underneath before recommending a surface. Our materials come from approved suppliers including Brett, Tobermore and The Resin Mill, and we carry £10 million public liability cover.

Block paving
Durable Block Paving in Altrincham
Block paving is cost-effective, low-maintenance and endlessly customisable. You choose the colour, texture and laying pattern, and if a block is ever damaged it can be lifted and replaced on its own without disturbing the rest of the drive.
Block paving suits the brick-built semis around Navigation Road and Oldfield Brow, where a border in a contrasting colour finishes the frontage neatly against the existing garden wall. We dig out to a full sub-base, so the blocks stay level when the car is parked in the same spot every day.
Resin bound
Resin Bound Driveways in Altrincham
Resin bound surfaces mix small natural stones with a clear resin, trowelled to a smooth, even finish. The result is permeable, so water drains through, and it comes in a wide range of colours. In the right conditions it can even be laid over a sound existing driveway.
Resin bound driveways are a popular choice in Altrincham conservation streets, because the permeable finish meets the front garden drainage rules and the natural aggregate sits well with older brickwork and stone gate piers.
Tarmac
Tarmac Driveways in Altrincham
Tarmac and asphalt driveways are quick to install and very durable. We lay them on a compacted stone base and finish the edges with paving or kerbs, which restrains the surface and gives the drive a sharper look.
For long drives and shared accesses in Broadheath and Timperley Bridge, tarmac is the hard-wearing, cost-effective option. We lay it on a compacted stone base with a kerbed or block edge so it holds its shape.

Driveway replacement
Signs Your Altrincham Driveway Needs Replacing
Sinking or rutted wheel tracks
Dips where the car parks mean the base underneath has failed.
Puddles by the door or garage
Water should run away from the house, not towards it.
Weeds and moss in every joint
Lost jointing sand lets blocks move and weeds take hold.
Cracked concrete or crumbling tarmac
Once the surface breaks up, patching rarely lasts.
Local knowledge
Driveway Problems We See Around The Downs, Broadheath and Oldfield Brow
Many Altrincham driveways were laid decades ago on thin bases. On the period properties near The Downs and Stamford Park we often find original tiled paths, mature tree roots lifting the surface and gate piers that need protecting during the dig. Around Broadheath and Oldfield Brow the typical job is a tired 1980s block drive that has sunk in the wheel tracks. Trafford Council handles vehicle crossings, so if your new driveway needs a dropped kerb we explain the application before any work starts.

FAQs
Driveway Questions from Altrincham Homeowners
Straight answers to what people ask us most. Anything else, just call.
How much does a new driveway cost in Altrincham?
The price of a new driveway in Altrincham depends on the area, the surface you choose, how much old material has to come out and whether a dropped kerb or extra drainage is needed. A tidy semi frontage off Manchester Road is a very different job from a sweeping drive near The Downs. We survey for free and give you a fixed written quote, so call 0161 841 7075 to book a visit.
What is the best driveway surface for a Altrincham home?
For most Altrincham homes it comes down to style and drainage. Resin bound suits period properties and meets the permeable rules, block paving gives the most pattern and colour choice, and tarmac is the practical pick for longer drives. We bring samples to the survey so you can see them against your brickwork.
Do I need planning permission for a new driveway in Altrincham?
Usually not, as long as the surface is permeable or rainwater runs off onto a lawn or border within your property. In England, a new impermeable front driveway over 5 square metres that drains onto the road needs planning permission. Resin bound and permeable block paving avoid this. Listed buildings and some conservation streets have extra rules, and we flag these at your survey.
Can you help with a dropped kerb in Altrincham?
Yes. A dropped kerb (vehicle crossing) in Altrincham is approved by Trafford Council, and you need their consent before driving over the pavement. We explain what the council asks for at your survey, and we can lay the new driveway so it lines up with the approved crossing.
Are resin driveways permeable?
Resin bound driveways are permeable: the stones are mixed with resin and trowelled smooth, leaving tiny gaps for water to pass through, provided the base underneath is permeable too. Resin bonded (scatter coat) surfaces are not permeable. We only lay resin bound driveways for homes, on a base designed to drain.
Do you use sub-contractors for your driveways?
No. Every driveway is laid by our own qualified and fully insured team. We never use sub-contractors, so the people who survey your drive are the people who build it, and the standard is the same on every job.
Can a new driveway be laid over my old one?
Sometimes. Resin bound and tarmac can go over existing tarmac or concrete that is sound, level and drains well, after repairs and priming. Block paving, and any drive that is sinking, cracked through or holding water, needs digging out and a new base. We check which applies at your free survey.
What happens after I ask for a quote?
We call you back to arrange a free survey at a time that suits you. We measure up, check levels and drainage, show you samples and then send a fixed written quote with no obligation. If you go ahead, we agree a start date and our own team carries out the work from excavation to the final clean.
