With roads getting increasingly busy, parking becoming more and more problematic and petty vandalism affecting your insurance premiums, more and more homeowners are deciding to convert part, or all of their gardens into driveways for secure car parking. There are now hundreds of companies around the UK that will install a driveway, plus of course many more involved in the maintenance and cleaning. driveway contractors will often carry out similar work such as patio and paving, plus repairs to existing pavements - all of which use the same set of core skills and equipment.
Installing a driveway is a great way to add practicality, accessibility and value to your home, a well-designed and attractive driveway provides convenient and secure parking, and are available in a number of styles and materials, the most popular being stylish, low maintenance block paving, or traditional gravel, each of which offer quality, durable solutions that will last for years. Local builders can offer new paving & driveways; plus the servicing, repair & maintenance of existing driveways & paving. Reputable driveway service companies will always offer a free initial consultation and written quote. I would recommend doing your own research before getting in touch with some driveways specialists because you will know the rough price you should be paying and you can tell if you are getting a good deal or not. One easy way of doing this is to use an online driveway calculator. All you have to do is provide the size of your driveway and the type of driveway you are looking for and the calculator will do the rest.
There are plenty of driveway & patio cleaning services operating nationwide in the UK, you are spoiled for choice so don't simply accept the first quotation! Many companies use the latest washer and chemical technologies which means they can eliminate the risks of damaging your driveway and easily bring new life into your hard surfaces and paved areas. Often using professional equipment with an industrial pressure of 250 bars, there is no comparison between a professional driveway cleaner and the sort of results you can expect from a pressure washer bought from Homebase or similar.
Professional driveway cleaning services can remove the build-up of moss, weeds, surface grime, and algae. In addition, they can advise on re-sanding and re-sealing your driveway to protect your investment and stop weeds growing so quickly. Typical services offered include high-pressure water cleaning, re-sand, and seal for block paving, Moss removal, Graffiti clean up, Weeds and fungus removal and Chewing gum removal.
Block paving has become the most popular method over the last 10-15 years thanks to mass production techniques bringing the prices down and making this type of paving very affordable at around £3 to £6 per square metre for a domestic driveway. Block paving can be used almost anywhere and will provide many years of service with very little maintenance, they also arguably look better than tarmac or plain concrete driveways and can be laid to take heavier loads.
Tarmac/Concrete driveways (aka bituminous macadam or Bitmac) are one the cheapest methods of resurfacing a driveway, but they can be expensive for smaller areas and red tarmac can work out more expensive than block paving in some cases. Concrete driveways are becoming more popular as you now have the option of decorative patterned concrete which can look quite attractive and provide a high-strength pavement without the need for steel reinforcement.
Gravel/Aggregate driveways are an excellent choice and they are available in a wide range of shapes, sizes and colours. They provide a non-solid, porous surface which allows water to filter through and sink into the ground, thereby reducing the risk of flooding. If you need to obtain permission for paved driveways from your local council or housing association, then this type of driveway is most likely to be approved as it reduces the risk of drains overflowing and flooding. In some areas, other types of driveways will require planning permission due to the increased flooding risk, but this, of course, varies from council to council so you need to check first before deciding on driveway construction.
Gates increase the privacy and security of your driveway in an enclosed property. They are generally made from either wood and metal, with metal gates offering more security and durability over wooden gates, but usually at a higher initial cost. and last longer. Wrought iron gates are the most popular type of metal gates being more affordable than the other types. In addition to the choice of material, there are essentially three types of gates to choose from: single swing gate, the bi-parting gate, and the sliding gate.
Single swing gates require a lot of flat, level space for the gate to open properly, whereas bi-parting gates require a long driveway and are generally more expensive compared to single wing gates. Alternatively, if you have a sloping or short driveway then you can opt for a sliding gate.
