One of the most common questions we get from Winscombe homeowners is simply: how long will this take? The honest answer depends on the size of your driveway and the material you choose, but here's a realistic breakdown of what to expect.
Before Work Begins
Before any digging starts, we carry out a site visit to measure up, assess the ground and existing base, and agree the finish and any edging with you. Once you've approved your quote, we'll book in a start date — this lead time varies by season, so it's worth enquiring early if you have a date in mind.
Typical Installation Timeframes
- Small driveway resurfacing (existing sound base) — often completed in 1-2 days
- Standard-sized driveway with excavation and sub-base — typically 2-4 days
- Larger or more complex driveways with drainage work — can take up to a week
- Block paving with detailed patterns or borders can add extra time versus resin
What Happens on Site
Our team excavates and prepares the sub-base first, since this is what determines how well your new driveway performs long-term. Drainage and edging are installed next, followed by the final surface — resin, block paving, tarmac or gravel — finished with any borders or detailing you've chosen.
After Installation
Once your new driveway in Winscombe is finished, we'll talk you through any care instructions — for example, resin surfaces typically need a short curing period before heavy use. We leave the site clean and tidy and are on hand if you have any questions once the job is complete.
