How much do Driveway Installer services cost?

Are you planning to install a driveway on your home or property? If yes, then you’ll most likely be interested to know exactly how much it’s going to cost. Well, to get started you’ll have to decide whether you’ll be doing this yourself or perhaps you’d be hiring a specialist. The project could be much more effective if you decide to tackle it on your own as you’re only going to be worried about the paying for the materials without any labour costs. However, installing a driveway is not the simplest of tasks even for the competent and more experienced DIYers. Therefore, if you choose to carry out the project on your own, you should also get ready for a longer completion time than it would have been if you hired a professional which is usually around 48 hours. If you have all the tools and materials in place before commencement, then it’s possible to complete the project over the weekend. However, there are many risks involved such as the possibility of misjudging the proper quantity of concrete mixture (for a concrete driveway) and more. So, how much does driveway installer charge?

Well, just like other home improvement projects, the amount charged by driveway installers depend on a number of factors like the type of driveway (concrete, asphalt, tarmac etc), size of the area, the experience of the professional, the property’s location and lots more. However, in general, the average cost of a driveway ranges between £35 to £85 per square metre. For labour costs, you can expect to pay between £200 to £450 per day based on the work’s complexity.

The table shows the sorts of task that Driveway Installers typically do as well as the regular cost series of these projects. Some jobs take longer to finish than others so costs do be very different by project.

Driveway Installer FAQs

Will my patio need a lot of maintenance?

Patios do not require lots of maintenance. They will only need occasional cleaning to make sure that the material keeps its original appearance. It's always best to clean your patio with a pressure washer and occasionally tap each slab or brick just to check the sand underneath hasn't washed away.

is block paving permeable?

Is Block Paving Permeable?

Back in 2008, there was a regulation introduced which comes with a requirement guiding the pavement of front gardens. It requires homeowners to incorporate the conventional impermeable driveways which makes for an uncontrolled run off of rainwater into sewers, roadways, local watercourses etc. However since then, new systems have been established which complies with the legislation and permit driveway laying of block paving without requiring planning permission while still providing the same visually appealing features as the conventional systems. Therefore, a short and simple answer to whether block paving is permeable is yes.

A permeable paving driveway (unlike the conventional ones which quickly diverts rainwater towards the edges to local drains) purposefully diverts rainwater into the built paving structure which oversees a controlled release of the rainwater into the environment. Permeable block paving comes with a wide range of benefits which includes the following:

• No Planning Permission Required

Unlike the traditional system, permeable block paving requires no planning permission as it oversees the driveway draining by ensuring that the surface water passes directly through the joints which makes sure the drains are not over worked and minimizing the risk of flood.

• Puddles Reduction By Natural Drainage

A permeable block paving minimizes puddles as well as standing water which helps to boost natural drainage. This is due to the laying process which features little voids that permits the passage of water.

• Natural Filtration

A natural filtration occurs when water is allowed to return to the ground by permeable block paving which helps assists in getting rid of any pollutants from the rain water.

• Flood Prevention

Permeable paving can help to prevent flooding as it absorbs water rather than directing it to the local drains or leaving it to build up on the surface’s top.

• Natural & Sustainable Materials

Natural and recyclable materials can be incorporated in producing permeable paving which is an excellent choice especially if you’re seeking a more sustainable driveway.

How to lay resin bound driveways?
It's pretty tricky to lay resin bound driveways. Most contractors will go on courses to learn how to lay resin bound paving or driveways to ensure that they get a high-quality installation that will last the customer decades. So while you could do it yourself, it’s probably best leaving it to the professionals. But if you want to know how to lay resin bound driveways, take a look at these rough steps to give you an idea.
  1. Prepare the base If you want your resin bound driveway to last a long time, you need to ensure that you prepare the base properly. Remove any block paving, grass or soil and dig down until you hit solid ground. Lay a sub-base of asphalt for good permeability. If you’re laying over the top of your current driveway, make sure that all cracks are increased into a ‘v’ shape with a saw and ensure the surface is dry and weed-free.
  2. Mix the resin You must follow the instructions on the materials you have to the letter if you want the curing process to work. Usually batches come in ‘Part A’ and ‘Part B’. Keep the resin container secure and on a protective surface to avoid splashing, then mix Part A for 10-20 seconds at a slow speed with a helical bladed mixer. Add Part B and mix thoroughly at a slow speed for about 2 minutes until it’s blended together.
  3. Mix the dried aggregates and sand with the resin Place a quarter of the aggregates into a mixer, then add the pre-mixed resin and start a stopwatch. You should then add the rest of the aggregates before slowly adding the sand. When you’re happy with that mix, stop the stopwatch. That time is the time that you need to spend mixing any other resin and aggregates to avoid colour variation.
  4. Lay the mix on the surface Transfer the mix to the work area then plan a laying route. When the mix is laid out, use a very clean trowel to spread the mix. Clean it regularly during the process to avoid dragging aggregates out of place. Once the aggregates stop moving in a fluid movement and become solid, stop trowelling. Then you can polish the surface to give it an attractive shine.
It’s clear that laying resin bound driveways is not an easy task. It’s best to get a few quotes from reputable, experienced companies to lay your driveway for you.
How much is patterned concrete per m2?
How much patterned concrete costs per m2 will depend on a few factors:
  • Where in the country you live
  • What colour you choose
  • What pattern you choose
  • Whether you choose a standard or a higher-quality concrete
Of course, there are different tools required to imprint the pattern on the driveway, so you must factor these into the cost as well. On average, a square metre of pattern imprinted concrete costs £78, but it can range anywhere between £25 and £130. The average cost of all the materials for the driveway is £1,763, which isn’t too bad – but due to the time and expertise involved, labour costs are an average of £4,063. If you’re thinking about sourcing the materials for patterned concrete and doing it yourself, consider it carefully. Imprinted concrete takes skill and will look unsightly if anything goes wrong with the pattern, but if anything goes wrong with laying the concrete it could affect the integrity of the driveway. The last thing you want is a sunken driveway that you can’t drive your cars onto, so it’s always best to call in the professionals to install your patterned concrete driveway.
What materials can I use to surface my driveway?

The most commonly used driveway surfacing materials are gravel, asphalt, concrete and paving - which can be block, slabbed or patten imprinted. Take a look at our product information pages to help you decide which one to use and which one will look best for your driveway.

How to cut paving slabs?

Some paving projects require you to cut paving slabs to make them fit into a smaller space. To do this, firstly you need to measure the slab and draw a line in pencil or chalk where you want to cut.

There are then several different ways you can cut the slab – you or your professional can choose the one you or they are most happy with. A hammer and chisel can work well, or a handheld saw. You can also use an angle grinder fitted with a stone-cutting disc.

How long does a resin bound driveway last?
Resin bound driveways are a great way to have an attractive-looking gravel driveway without the loose stones to clear up. The clue is in the name – your choice of aggregates (stones) are bound in resin to stop them moving; the surface is still permeable so water can drain away. So how long does a resin bound driveway last? When installed properly, you can expect it to last 25 years or more. But there are some things you need to do to ensure that your resin bound driveway lasts that long: Make sure the contractor uses the right type of resin Your resin bonded driveway will last longer if you choose the right kind of resin. It needs to be a UV-resistant resin so the sun doesn’t damage it, especially if you choose a lighter-coloured paving stone. Darker stones are more UV-resistant, so you might want to consider that too. Think carefully about the size of stone to use You might think that the size of the stones in your driveway doesn’t make a difference, but your resin bound driveway will last longer if you choose a stone of about 6mm to 10mm in size. This is because any bigger will affect the surface water drainage, potentially causing flooding on your property and maybe even damp in your walls. Keep your driveway maintained It’s vital that you keep your resin bound driveway maintained if you want it to last a long time. Make sure you hose it down and sweep it regularly to remove debris and maintain its porosity. When you clean your driveway, the water needs to be soapy, but don’t use chemicals or oils as this could damage the resin. As long as you look after your resin bound driveway, it should last you for decades. Just make sure you get a reputable company to install it for you.
Why has my driveway cracked?

Driveway surfacing materials like concrete, asphalt and clay brick usually crack because they’ve been exposed to extreme temperatures or put under high pressure. It’s important to repair driveway cracks before they get worse and cause damage to vehicles and perhaps others to trip on raised cracks.
