Many years of experience

New Driveways in Wrexham

Done properly in Wrexham, and cleared up after

A driveway carries a couple of tonnes of car onto it several times a day, which is why the part you never see decides how long it lasts. Almost every failed drive we are asked to replace failed underneath: too little excavation, no proper sub-base, or nothing holding the edges in. We dig out to depth, lay and compact a stone sub-base, and restrain the edges before any surface goes down. After that, the choice of surface is about looks, budget and how much upkeep you want.

We take on new driveways for homes across Wrexham and the surrounding Clwyd villages, including Gwersyllt, Rhosllanerchrugog, Chirk. Tell us what you are looking at and we will come out and price it properly.

The process

How your Wrexham job runs

  • 1

    Come and look at the job

    We measure up and check the things that actually move a price: access for a digger and a grab lorry, where the water currently drains, and whether the levels work at the threshold.

  • 2

    Excavate to depth

    The old surface and the soft ground beneath it come out and go away. This is the step that gets skipped on a cheap drive, and it is the reason cheap drives sink.

  • 3

    Sub-base and edgings

    A stone sub-base goes in in layers and is compacted, then the edge restraints are bedded in concrete. Without a restrained edge, any surface starts to spread and break up from the outside in.

  • 4

    Lay the surface

    The surface you have chosen goes down onto the prepared base, set out so the falls run away from the house and towards the drainage.

  • 5

    Walk the finished drive with you

    The spoil and offcuts leave with us and the surface is swept off, then we go round the finished drive together, make sure you are happy with it, and talk you through the few simple things that keep it looking its best for years.

  • 4

    One point of contact

    You deal with the person doing the work, so nothing gets lost between a salesman and a fitter.

FAQs

New Driveways in Wrexham: common questions

Which driveway surface lasts longest?

All four last well on a properly built base, and fail early on a bad one, so the base matters more than the choice. Block paving is the easiest to repair invisibly, resin gives you a smooth permeable sheet, tarmac is the most economical over a big area, and gravel suits long rural drives.

Do I need planning permission for a driveway?

For a permeable surface, usually not. Laying a large area of impermeable surface at the front of a house, with water running off onto the road, is the case where permission can come into it. Resin bound and gravel are both permeable, which is one reason they get specified.

Can you lay a new drive over the old one?

We would rather not, and usually will not. Surfacing over a failing base gives you a new-looking drive on top of the same problem, and it comes back. Digging out is the part that makes it last.

Do you give a free quote?

Yes. We come out, look at the job and give you a price for it, at no charge and with no obligation to go ahead.
