Driveway Installation FAQs
Common questions about our driveway services in Kent
Why do you use concrete foundations for driveways?
We've been serving Rainham, Gillingham, Chatham, and surrounding Kent areas since 1980 - that's over 40 years of experience in driveway and paving services.
What's the difference between block paving and tarmac?
Block paving offers more design flexibility with various colors and patterns, and individual blocks can be replaced if damaged. Tarmac provides a smooth, cost-effective surface that's quicker to install but with less customization options.
How long does a driveway installation take?
Most standard driveways take 2-5 days depending on size and complexity. We'll provide a clear timeline during your free consultation, and our team works efficiently to minimize disruption.
Do you handle dropped kerb applications?
Yes! As licensed contractors for both Medway Council and Kent County Council, we manage all dropped kerb applications and installations. We handle the paperwork, permissions, and installation - you only deal with one trusted team throughout the entire process.
What areas in Kent do you cover for driveway installations?
We serve Rainham, Gillingham, Chatham, Rochester, Hempstead, and Maidstone, typically within a 20-mile radius. Contact us to confirm if we cover your specific location.
Can you create custom designs for my driveway?
Absolutely! Each option can include decorative edges, curves, or contrasting borders for a bespoke appearance. We'll work with you to create a design that complements your property.
What guarantees do you provide on driveway work?
All our driveways come with comprehensive guarantees covering both materials and workmanship. Block paving materials carry up to 25-year warranties, and we guarantee our installation quality.
How do you ensure the driveway will be level and well-draining?
Proper preparation is key. We excavate to the correct depth, install a concrete foundation, and ensure appropriate gradients for drainage. This prevents water pooling and ensures longevity.
Do you provide free quotes for driveway installations?
Yes, we provide free, no-obligation quotes with a site visit. We'll assess your requirements, take measurements, and provide a detailed written estimate with no hidden costs.
What makes your driveway installations different from competitors?
Our concrete base foundations, 40+ years experience, council approvals expertise, and comprehensive project management. We handle everything from design to completion with full guarantees.
