Driveway Resurfacing in Kenton
From compact frontages near Kenton Lane to larger plots closer to Gosforth, Kenton homeowners come to WM Driveways when they want driveway resurfacing projects installed properly the first time — and want to know exactly who is turning up on day one.
What you actually get
Driveway Resurfacing works in Kenton generally break down into three phases: careful prep, correct sub-base, and a well-detailed surface. Skip any one and the job looks fine for a summer, then starts to move.
On this page we've set out how WM Driveways approaches driveway resurfacing in the NE3 area — the choices you'll actually be making, and the local factors we plan around before a spade goes in the ground.
Why the area shapes the spec
Kenton is characterised by 1950s semis, dormer bungalows and off-street driveways on wide plots. That means we tailor the spec to the street rather than dropping in an off-the-shelf build. We routinely work across Gosforth and Fawdon too, so we know the streets, the access constraints and the type of driveway resurfacing spec that actually holds up here.

Frequently asked questions
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.
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 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.
What happens if it rains?+
Some phases (excavation, sub-base) run fine in rain. Surfaces like tarmac and resin need dry, in-tolerance conditions, so we'll reschedule those days rather than compromise the finish.
