Yes, we offer a range of driveway surfaces, please contact us to enquire about our full range of options, and advice on a suitability of surface for your premises.
What if the driveway cracks?
We are experienced in ensuring that if and when your concrete cracks due to movement and to relieve stress, we have preceeded this event with precise concrete cutting to control the cracks. Sometimes concrete cracks before we can do the expansion cuts, this can occur due to weather, humidity, wind and/or drying times on site. Further advice can be given at the time of our initial visit.
When can you start?
Once the quote is accepted, we can start within a couple of weeks. Due to our efficiencies we do not like to leave customers waiting too long to start their project. Every effort is made to start ASAP!
What if the concrete colour is not what I expected?
We ask our customers to select their colour from our supplier and confirm in writing their choice, so there are no mis-understandings. Due to our reliance on the coloured concrete being mixed by the concrete plant, and relying on their precision for an even colour and texture through the mix, there is still a small chance the colour could be patchy. Therefore, we offer the sealer to be tinted with a colour of your choice (FREE of charge), to ensure a very even appearance.
What options are there for my driveway surface?
There is lots of options including Concrete, Asphalt, Pavers and Covercrete. We are happy to provide advice on the best surface, based on your unique area and size. Do you seal my driveway and how is this done? Coloured, Exposed and Stamped Concrete driveways get sealed as part of our standard rates. Plain Concrete is optional which can be included on the quote if required. The driveway is sealed by acid washing the surface to give it a solid clean surface for the sealer to soak into. Then two coats of clear sealer are rolled onto the area. We suggest re-sealing every 2 years to maintain your surface
How long before I can drive on my new driveway?
New Concrete driveways must be left for 10 days. New Asphalt driveways must be left for 4 days minimum. We give every client a comprehensive information pack on how to care for their new investment
