Surveyed First, Written Quote
A properly assessed base, an itemised quote, and a permeable finish that holds up through wet winters.
What We Arrange
From a bare new-build plot to an ageing block-paved drive, the right specification starts with knowing what is underneath.
Permeable resin bound surface over a compacted MOT Type 1 sub-base, SuDS compliant.
Resin bound overlay onto sound tarmac or concrete, with a base suitability check first.
Full installation from site survey and sub-base preparation through to trowelled resin finish.
Resin bound surface from bare ground up, with sub-base, drainage, and layout planned from scratch.
Resin bound overlay onto assessed tarmac, crack threshold and drainage fall checked before priming.
Block paving lifted and removed, base assessed and levelled, resin bound surface laid over compacted sub-base.
Resin bound layer applied over assessed concrete after shot blasting, priming, and crack repair.
SuDS-compliant permeable surface with compacted sub-base and geotextile membrane, no planning permission needed for most front drives.
Permeable natural aggregate finish over an assessed base, drains freely on clay-heavy ground.
Smooth, permeable resin bound finish over a compacted base, no loose stones, no pooling water.
Resin bound aggregate applied to treads and risers using a vertical resin system over prepared concrete.
Aggregate blend, border detailing, and drainage specified to suit the property and base condition.
Damaged sections cut back to sound material, base inspected, patch filled and trowelled flush.
UV-stable polyurethane resin mixed with natural aggregate, trowelled flat.
Compacted crushed stone layer that resists clay movement and frost.
Falls and channel drainage checked against SuDS rules at survey stage.
Concrete or aluminium edging to hold the resin bound layer in place.
Physical samples matched to existing brickwork or boundary materials.
Base suitability confirmed before any material is ordered.
Done Right vs Done Cheap
Most failures trace back to one of three decisions made before the resin is even mixed.
Oxford clay swells wet and shrinks dry, a resin surface laid without checking the base can crack within two or three winters.
A ground condition survey confirms excavation depth and sub-base specification before any price is agreed or material ordered.
A single figure hides the cost of groundwork, excavation and drainage surprises surface mid-job when the ground is already open.
Excavation, MOT Type 1 sub-base, drainage, and resin bound finish are quoted as separate lines so every stage has a visible cost.
Applying resin over a failing or cracked base transfers the movement straight through to the new surface, often within the first winter.
The survey assesses crack threshold, drainage falls, and base stability before deciding whether an overlay will hold or a dig-out is needed.
A non-permeable front driveway over 5 m² may need planning permission, and a surface that runs water toward the road can breach drainage rules.
The survey covers drainage falls and SuDS permeable-surface rules, so the finished surface meets permitted development requirements without extra applications.
Why Choose Us
We take your enquiry and schedule a survey that accounts for Cambridgeshire clay conditions, with every stage quoted clearly.
Excavation, sub-base, drainage, and resin finish each appear as individual costs so nothing is bundled or hidden.
Local ground conditions and Great Ouse flood-plain drainage rules are factored in before the quote is written, not after work starts.
The base assessment happens at survey stage, so the price you agree reflects the actual site, not an optimistic assumption.
Drainage falls and permeable-surface rules are checked at survey, removing the planning permission risk for most front driveways.
Quotes cover bare new-build plots, tarmac or concrete overlays, and full block-paving removal, one point of contact for any base condition.
How It Works
01
Describe the area size, what is currently down there, and how it drains, takes a few minutes.
02
The survey assesses the base, checks drainage falls, and quotes each stage as a separate line.
03
Sub-base, drainage, edge restraints, and UV-stable resin bound finish are laid to the agreed specification.
Who We Help
Base conditions and drainage requirements vary, the survey is tailored to the property type and what is already on the ground.
Homeowners in Huntingdon and nearby towns whose driveway is cracking, puddling, or simply looking tired. We arrange a base assessment and itemised quote so you know exactly what each stage costs before any work starts.
Developers finishing new-build frontages or refurbishing multiple plots who need a surface specified correctly from the ground up. Quotes cover ground levelling, MOT Type 1 sub-base, drainage channels, and a permeable resin bound finish across single or multiple plots.
Landlords managing rental properties where a cracked or puddling driveway is a recurring maintenance issue. A properly prepared resin bound surface reduces repeat repair calls by addressing the base condition, not just the top layer.
Commercial sites needing a durable, permeable surface for car parks, access roads, or entrance areas that meets SuDS drainage rules. The survey covers drainage falls, sub-base depth, and edge restraints suited to regular vehicle loads.
