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 Northenden's brick semis and is a strong choice for drives that take a car every day. We can widen narrow side drives at the same time.
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.
Near the Mersey, drainage matters, so a permeable resin bound driveway is a smart choice for Northenden homes.


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.
Tarmac gives a tough, seamless surface for the wider frontages along Palatine Road and Wythenshawe Road.



Dips where the car parks mean the base underneath has failed.
Water should run away from the house, not towards it.
Lost jointing sand lets blocks move and weeds take hold.
Once the surface breaks up, patching rarely lasts.

Northenden's homes near the Mersey sit on lower ground, so we check drainage carefully and avoid surfaces that send water towards the house. Many 1930s semis have narrow side drives and old concrete that has cracked. Manchester City Council approves dropped kerbs here, and we help you through it.
We also lay driveways in these nearby areas, with the same team and the same guarantees.

Because of the lower ground near the Mersey, resin bound and permeable block paving are both strong choices in Northenden. Standard block paving and tarmac also work well with the right falls.
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.
Yes. A dropped kerb (vehicle crossing) in Northenden is approved by Manchester City 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
