Driveways on Redditch housing
The estate housing that makes up most of the town came with a modest hardstanding, often shared, often laid straight onto whatever was there. Households now run two or three cars and the original slab has sunk at the edges, cracked along the middle or lifted where a tree root found it. When we replace one of these we dig it out properly, put in a compacted sub-base at the right depth, and design where the water goes before anything goes on top. That last part is not optional: a drive that drains onto the road or a neighbour is a planning problem, not just a puddle.
Resin bound is the surface most people in Redditch ask us about, because it is seamless, permeable and does not weed, and it suits the brick fronts on the newer estates well. Tarmac is the economical choice and is what we lay on most larger or shared drives. We price both on the same survey so you can compare like for like. Widening onto a verge or adding a dropped kerb needs Redditch Borough Council and Worcestershire County Council highways consent, and we will tell you at the survey whether your frontage qualifies.
What we are asked for here
- Replacing sunken or cracked original hardstanding on the estates

Questions
Driveways in Redditch, answered straight
My Redditch drive is shared with a neighbour. Can you still do it?
Yes, and it is common here. We survey both sides, agree the line with both households, and put the split of cost in writing before anything starts. The sub-base and drainage are designed for the whole area, not half of it.
Do I need permission to widen my drive onto the verge?
Widening within your own boundary is usually fine if the surface is permeable or drains within the plot. Taking in a verge or adding a dropped kerb needs highways consent, and we handle that application as part of the job rather than leaving it to you.
Resin or tarmac for a Redditch estate house?
Resin if you want the finish and the permeability; tarmac if you want the economy and it is a big area. Either way the dig and the base are the same, and that is where most of the cost and all of the longevity sits.
