Your local driveway specialists in Market Harborough

Market Harborough is an attractive market town to the south east with a strong stock of period and Georgian property, close to the Old Grammar School and St Dionysius Church. It sits around 35 minutes away from us, which means we can get out to you quickly to measure up, talk through your options and provide a written quote without any obligation.

With so much period property in Market Harborough, natural stone, cobble sets and traditional buff tones almost always work better than modern charcoal blocks, and we will show you samples before committing.

Whatever the size of the job, the approach is the same. We dig out to a proper depth, lay and compact a solid sub-base, install the edge restraints correctly and finish with a surface laid to the right falls so water drains away as it should. Cutting corners on the groundwork is why so many driveways fail within a few years, and it is the one part of the job we will never rush.

What we install in Market Harborough

• Block paving – the most popular choice in Market Harborough, available in a wide range of colours, and individual blocks can be lifted and replaced if they are ever damaged.
• Tegula & rumble pattern paving – a tumbled, aged finish that suits the more traditional properties around Market Harborough.
• Tarmac driveways – red or black, hard wearing and cost effective, ideal for larger LE16 frontages and shared access.
• Indian stone slabbing & patios – natural riven stone for garden patios, seating areas and paths.
• Cobble paving & feature borders – used to frame a drive or pick out an entrance.
• Drainage, manhole covers & kerbing – including recessed covers so the paving pattern runs unbroken across them.
• Fencing, gates & landscaping – so the whole frontage is finished together rather than in separate trades.

Frequently asked questions

Do you cover Market Harborough?

Yes. Market Harborough and the wider LE16 area are part of our regular working patch, so we can normally get out to measure up within a few days of you calling.

How much will a new driveway cost?

That depends on the size of the area, the material you choose and how much excavation and drainage work is involved. Rather than guess over the phone, we come out to your Market Harborough property, measure up properly and give you a written quote you can take your time over.

How long will the work take?

For a normal house driveway, three to five working days is typical. Anything involving extensive groundwork, new drainage or walling will add time, and we will set out an honest schedule with you before any work is booked.

Will I need planning permission?

For most domestic driveways in Market Harborough you will not, provided the surface is permeable or surface water is directed to a soakaway or border rather than straight onto the road. We will advise on this when we quote, and we can talk you through a dropped kerb application if you need one.

How do I get a quote?

If you are anywhere in Market Harborough or the surrounding LE16 area, call us and we will come and see the property, discuss the options with you and follow it up with a clear written quote.
