Driveways & patios in Kenton

Kenton's 1950s semis, bungalows and dormer bungalows sit on some of the widest plots in this part of Newcastle, which opens up options that tighter streets do not allow.

It is also where we get the most requests for step-free and accessible approaches, because of the number of bungalows.

Property types in Kenton

Semis, dormer bungalows and bungalows around Kenton Lane and Hillsview Avenue, generally with generous frontages that can take side-by-side parking rather than nose-to-tail.

Ground and drainage here

Wide, shallow frontages need a deliberate fall designed across them, otherwise water sheets slowly and sits. We set the levels so run-off has a defined route rather than relying on gravity to sort itself out.

Access and working locally

Good vehicle access on most streets. Where a bungalow needs a step-free approach, we plan the threshold drainage detail at setting out rather than improvising at the end.

Kenton questions

Can you create a step-free path to my door?+

Often, using a threshold channel drain and careful level planning. We check your damp course and internal floor level first.

Is resin good for wheelchair access?+

Yes — the joint-free surface avoids the jolting you get from block joints and slab lips, while the aggregate still provides grip.
