Working in your area

Heaton is characterised by classic Tyneside flats and terraces with compact front yards and back lanes. That means access is often tight and skip placement needs to be agreed with neighbours. We routinely work across Jesmond and Byker too, so we know the streets, the access constraints and the type of resin driveway spec that actually holds up here.

Answers to what we get asked most

Do you cover my postcode?+

Yes — Heaton (NE6) is inside our regular coverage area. We work right across Newcastle and the wider North East, so travel isn't a problem.

What about drainage and SUDS?+

Fully permeable resin bound systems drain in-situ so no soakaway is needed.

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.

Are you insured?+

Yes. We carry public liability insurance and are happy to share a copy of the certificate with your quote.

Do I need planning permission?+

For most private residential resin bound driveways 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.
