Ightham Driveways

Resin bound driveways & overlays

Ideal where you want a smart, low-maintenance finish that doesn’t fight with the character of the house. Smooth, porous resin bound driveways suit cottages and newer homes around Ightham village, Ightham Common and routes towards Borough Green and Seal.

On many existing tarmac and concrete drives in and around Ightham, a resin overlay can refresh the look without a full dig-out, while still allowing us to deal with problem areas and edging details.
Resin overlays starting from £40 per m² – based on larger areas with a sound existing surface and generous m² measurements.

Block paving driveways

Block paving suits traditional village streets and period-style properties around Ightham, Plaxtol, Shipbourne and Wrotham. Brindle and charcoal blocks with neat soldier-course borders give strong kerb appeal and help set out bays for multi-car households.

Herringbone patterns cope well with regular turning and shared access, and we offer a range of edge details to tie in with walls, steps and garden paths.

Tarmac & tar & chip

Tarmac driveways are a practical choice for bigger plots, shared forecourts and longer drives on the outskirts of Ightham and routes towards the A25 and M20.

For long rural drives and farm-style access, tar & chip gives a cost-effective, country-lane look – often combined with block or stone edging and neat thresholds where the drive meets the lane.

Excavation & sub-base

We remove old concrete, tarmac or block paving and install a compacted Type 1 or Type 3 sub-base to the correct depth. Falls are set so water runs away from your property and towards suitable drainage features or planted areas.

This is especially important on clay-based or sloping plots, and on rural approaches, where poorly built drives can rut, move or hold water after heavy rain.

Laying, edging & drainage details

Whether we’re laying resin, block paving or tarmac, we cut in neatly around steps, walls, garages and drains. Channels and grates are built into the design rather than added as an afterthought, helping everything look tidy from the lane or road.

We can convert old-style manhole covers to inset lids so they blend into the new surface – ideal for village-front properties and shared drives where appearance matters.

We understand Ightham layouts

Regular work around Ightham, Ightham Common, Plaxtol, Borough Green, Wrotham, Seal and Sevenoaks fringes means we understand typical plots – village frontages, shared tracks, banks, trees and longer rural drives set back from the road.

Free in-person visits

We visit in person, measure up properly and provide a written quotation before any work starts. No pushy selling – just straight answers on which surfaces will work best for your Ightham property and budget.

Driveways, patios & paths

As well as driveways, we install matching patios and garden paths so everything ties together – ideal if you want to sort side paths, bin areas or a rear terrace at the same time as the front drive.
