Drop kerbs
If you’re creating a new driveway or widening an existing one, you’ll usually need a dropped kerb where the driveway meets the public highway, which typically requires permission from the local council. We can advise on the process and, in many cases, handle the application on your behalf as part of the job.
Private and shared access roads
Resurfacing or repairing a private or shared access road is a more involved job than a single driveway — other residents need continued access throughout, and the specification often needs to account for a wider range of vehicles than a domestic driveway. We plan this with you, and where relevant neighbouring households, before work starts.
Groundworks
Beyond surfacing itself, we handle the groundwork that underpins it — excavation, drainage, and sub-base preparation to the depth the job actually needs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need council permission for a dropped kerb?
In most cases, yes — we can advise on the process and often handle the application for you.
Can you resurface a shared private road?
Yes, this is a regular part of our work — we plan around continued access for other residents throughout.
How is road groundwork different from a driveway?
It generally needs a deeper, more robust sub-base to handle a wider range of vehicle weights and more frequent use.
How long does a private road resurfacing project take?
It depends heavily on length and condition — we’ll give a realistic timeframe as part of the site visit and written quote.
