Driveways Chelmsford

If you do elect to forge ahead with having a driveway installed your next task will be to determine what sort of driveway you want. You'll undoubtedly already be aware that there are many different driveway options available and not all these will be of interest to you. Prices will fluctuate appreciably across these different driveway styles, therefore your possible options could be limited if you only have a certain amount of capital to spend. The configuration and dimensions of your property in Chelmsford could also affect your final decision.

You may just believe "a driveway is a driveway", however that simply isn't the truth, because there are lots of different designs and types of driveway, and if you were to take a stroll around Chelmsford, you will see what I mean. You should see concrete driveways, resin driveways, asphalt driveways, monoblock driveways, flagstone driveways, cobbled driveways, stamped concrete driveways, gravel driveways, tarmac driveways and brick driveways, in different forms, and this should still give you a notion of all the possible choices.

What Kind is Best? Now, which of these would be ideal for your circumstances? Well, there are one or two issues that you'll want to take into account before deciding this. You will have to consider - 1. Planning permission - is planning permission necessary for your driveway? 2. How your land lies - is your garden level or sloped? 3. What's the drainage like in your garden - does water collect where you are looking to build your driveway?

You may believe that planning permission is only mandatory for major projects like loft conversions and extensions, but that's not automatically true. The regulations that cover driveways in Chelmsford are not only administered by the local council, but are actually imposed by government guidelines. You'll only have to bother about these rules if you're laying a driveway in your front garden. Since 2008 driveway installations in front gardens in the United Kingdom have come under the Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS), which was brought in by the government at that time.

The SuDS regulations apply to driveways in front gardens with an area of over 5 square metres. Porous materials such as porous asphalt, resin, shingle, permeable block or grass (monoblock) are compliant with SuDS, and enable any excess water to drain through naturally without any problems. So, if you're building your driveway from one of these materials, you will not have to worry. You'll be able to find out more about the SuDS legislation by clicking here - SuDS

Householders in Chelmsford who don't have an issue with a bit of hard graft and are fairly good at DIY, might be tempted to have a crack at laying their own driveway. But nobody should consider this as a simple task, as there's a great deal of preparation work involved in addition to the actual laying of the driveway, including doing waste removal, lugging materials and excavating. In most cases it would be much wiser to hire a specialist driveway installer, who will come armed with all the manpower, equipment and knowledge to carry out the task correctly.

Dependable tradesmen are not always that easy to track down when it comes to conducting this sort of project, therefore you need to be mindful in choosing the right contractor or person. Sadly, there are unscrupulous "rogue traders" out there who'll take full advantage of your position and purport to be experts in this field. They will either do unsatisfactory work, or simply take your money and do a runner. If you would like your finished driveway to endure, and look attractive for years to come, you might as well get it done properly and by somebody with some know-how. The smartest choice will normally be a driveway and patio installer who has been been operating in and around Chelmsford for the past few years, and has a decent track record locally.

When you are sifting through prospective installers to build your driveway you should ask for a few references from satisfied customers, ask if they're part of an official trade body such as ANTSCA, find out what guarantees they give on their work, make certain that they have insurance protection, ask to see a portfolio of earlier projects and find out how long they've been in operation.

You don't need to be too pushy or aggressive with this questioning, because what you're really trying to achieve is get an inkling of the type of tradesperson that you are going to be dealing with. You can safely assume that they are for the most part trustworthy, if they're happy to answer all of these questions. You can assume that they are less than honest or hiding something if they act in a uncertain or confrontational way when asked these questions. If that is to happen you'd be smart to give them a miss and try a different tradesman.

If you pick your driveway company wisely you'll find that they can offer you loads of helpful guidance and advice about the perfect materials to employ and the preferred kind of driveway for your garden. And that is not the end of it, because they will also be on top of all the preparation, design and planning that's needed for your new driveway installation to go smoothly.

Resin-Bound Driveways Chelmsford

Among the most attractive and flexible forms of driveway that are available in Chelmsford today, resin-bound driveways (or resin driveways) are becoming ever more favoured and are also SuDS compliant, if that is what you are interested in. Resin driveways can be custom-made to your specifications and can be installed in a host of different colours and patterns. For much less mess and hassle a new resin driveway can quickly be laid over an existing asphalt or concrete surface.

A resin driveway should give you years of good service, and when installed by an approved specialist, come with a long warranty.
