Why Altrincham Homeowners Choose Us
We've built our reputation in Altrincham over three decades on the simple principle of doing the job properly and standing behind it. Here's what that means in practice.
GoogleProper Sub-base on Every Job
The sub-base is what determines how long a driveway lasts. We use compacted MOT Type 1, specified to the correct depth for the ground conditions at your Altrincham property — not the bare minimum. This is where shortcuts get taken on cheaper jobs, and it's the first thing we never compromise on.
30 Years of Local Knowledge
We've been working in Altrincham and across Trafford since 1994. We know the ground conditions, the drainage requirements, the planning rules, and the housing styles across every part of the borough. That experience means fewer surprises and better outcomes for your driveway.
A Real 10-Year Guarantee
Every driveway we install carries a 10-year workmanship guarantee. We've been in business for over three decades — we're not going anywhere — and if a surface fails due to our workmanship, we come back and fix it. No quibbles.
Written Quotes, Fixed Prices
We quote in writing, itemised, before any work starts. The price you're quoted is the price you pay — unless you change the specification. No verbal estimates that balloon once work is underway. Altrincham homeowners deserve better than that, and we've built our business on exactly this approach.
We Clean Up Completely
All excavation waste removed the same day. Surrounding areas swept and reinstated. We leave your property clean — your neighbours barely notice we were there. It sounds basic, but you'd be surprised how many contractors don't bother.
Local Coverage
Driveway Specialists Across Altrincham & Trafford
We cover all of Altrincham and the surrounding Trafford area — from Hale and Bowdon to Sale, Timperley and Broadheath. With over 30 years working in this part of Greater Manchester, we're one of the most experienced driveway teams operating across the WA14 and WA15 postcode areas.
Driveways in Hale & Bowdon
Hale and Bowdon have some of the largest and most prestigious residential properties in Greater Manchester. We regularly install premium block paving driveways here — often featuring tumbled clay blocks, double-width entry points, feature circles and contrasting edging courses. Homeowners in these areas typically want a result that genuinely enhances the property, and we take that brief seriously.
Resin bound driveways have also grown in popularity in Hale and Bowdon — particularly for properties with large, sweeping forecourts where the seamless finish of resin looks exceptionally clean. We've completed many resin installations in both villages and are happy to provide local references.
Driveways in Sale & Timperley
Sale and Timperley have a mix of semi-detached and detached housing where driveway upgrades are common. Block paving is the most popular choice here — concrete blocks in herringbone with a simple edging course are a proven, reliable finish that suits the housing stock well. We also carry out a high volume of tarmac installations and resurfacing work across both areas.
Driveways in Broadheath & Dunham Massey
In Broadheath and the villages around Dunham Massey, we work on a range of property types from modern new builds to older rural and semi-rural homes. Resin bound and block paving are both popular here, and we're well-placed to advise on what works best for rural access roads and properties with more challenging ground conditions.

Driveway FAQ — Altrincham
Answers to the questions we hear most from Altrincham and Trafford homeowners.
How much does a new driveway cost in Altrincham?
Costs vary by surface type and size. Tarmac starts from around £30–50/m², block paving from £50–120/m², resin bound from £40–80/m², and pattern imprinted concrete from £50–90/m². A typical 50m² driveway in Altrincham costs approximately £1,500–£6,000. We provide free, detailed written quotes for all Altrincham and Trafford properties.
Do I need planning permission for a driveway in Altrincham?
Most driveways in Altrincham don't need planning permission if the surface is permeable or water drains to a lawn or soakaway rather than the road. Resin bound and permeable block paving are fully SuDS-compliant so never require permission. For non-permeable surfaces over 5m², you need to direct drainage appropriately. We advise on this at the free site survey.
What's the best driveway surface for Altrincham homes?
It depends on your property and priorities. Block paving — particularly tumbled clay with feature circles — suits the larger detached homes in Hale and Bowdon beautifully. Resin bound is ideal for a modern, low-maintenance finish and works well across Sale and Timperley. Tarmac is the most cost-effective. We'll always recommend what genuinely suits your property at the free survey.
How long does driveway installation take in Altrincham?
Tarmac typically takes 1–2 days. Resin bound takes 1–3 days. Block paving takes 2–5 days depending on size, pattern and whether feature circles are involved. Pattern imprinted concrete takes 2–3 days plus curing time. We agree a programme before starting and communicate clearly throughout.
Do you guarantee driveways in Altrincham?
Yes — all our driveway installations in Altrincham and across Trafford come with a 10-year workmanship guarantee. We've been in business since 1994 and stand fully behind our work. If anything fails due to workmanship in that period, we return and fix it at no cost to you.
Can you repair my existing driveway in Altrincham?
Yes. We carry out block paving repairs, repointing, relay and resin overlay work across all of Altrincham and Trafford. At the free site survey we'll assess the existing surface and give you an honest view on whether repair or full replacement is the better investment for your property.
