Block paving typically requires 5-7 days due to base preparation and laying time, whilst tarmac can often be completed in 3-4 days. Poor drainage or extensive groundworks may add 1-2 days to the timeline."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"What's the difference in cost between block paving and resin-bound driveways?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Block paving typically starts from £60 per square metre whilst resin-bound surfaces cost £80-120 per square metre. Block paving offers more design flexibility and easier repairs, but resin-bound provides a smoother, low-maintenance surface with excellent drainage. Both require proper groundworks for longevity."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Do you remove the old driveway surface before installation?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Yes, we fully excavate existing surfaces and poor sub-base materials as part of every installation. Proper excavation to 200-250mm depth ensures adequate drainage and prevents future cracking or sinking. We handle all waste removal and disposal as part of the quoted price."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Will my new driveway cause water problems for neighbours?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"No, we install proper drainage systems including permeable materials or drainage channels to manage surface water effectively. All installations comply with sustainable drainage requirements, ensuring water drains into your property boundaries rather than onto neighbouring land or highways. This is particularly important in Northamptonshire's clay soil areas."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"How do I know if my driveway base will be strong enough?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"We assess ground conditions during our site visit and install appropriate sub-base thickness based on soil type and vehicle loading. Typical installations use 100-150mm of MOT Type 1 aggregate, but clay soils common in Northamptonshire may require deeper excavation and additional drainage measures. All base work is compacted to professional standards before surface laying."}}]}]}

When Do You Need a New Driveway?
