Where it earns its keep
Local considerations we plan for
Fenham is characterised by long residential terraces and semi-detached family homes with modest driveways. That means access is often tight and skip placement needs to be agreed with neighbours. We routinely work across Benwell and West Denton too, so we know the streets, the access constraints and the type of driveway repair spec that actually holds up here.

Frequently asked questions
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.
Do I need planning permission?+
For most private residential driveway repair projects the answer is no, provided the surface is permeable or drains to a soakaway within the property. We'll flag anything unusual before we start.
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 take a deposit?+
A modest deposit secures the start date and covers materials being ordered. The balance is due on completion, once you've walked the job with us.
Can you work around parked cars?+
On Two Ball Lonnen-style layouts we normally coordinate access up front so vehicles can be moved for the working day. It rarely needs more than a short conversation with neighbours.
