Where it earns its keep
Materials and finishes

Edge restraint fixes
Reinstating the kerbs and edge courses that stop the surface migrating.
Local considerations we plan for
Dunston is characterised by riverside residential streets near the MetroCentre and Team Valley. That means we tailor the spec to the street rather than dropping in an off-the-shelf build. We routinely work across Gateshead and Whickham too, so we know the streets, the access constraints and the type of driveway repair spec that actually holds up here.

Answers to what we get asked most
Will you tidy up after the job?+
Always. The site is swept and washed down at the end of each day, and we do a full clear-down and handover walk when the job is finished.
Do you offer a guarantee?+
We stand behind our workmanship and manufacturer product warranties apply on the surfaces themselves — we'll set the specifics out clearly in your quote.
What about drainage and SUDS?+
Where required we build in a soakaway or connect to an existing surface water drain — never into foul drainage.
Can you match the existing paving?+
Where products are still in production, yes. Where they aren't, we'll show you the closest current options and how the transition will read on the ground.
Are you insured?+
Yes. We carry public liability insurance and are happy to share a copy of the certificate with your quote.
