Driveways in Chester
A driveway company that knows Chester’s streets
Chester has every kind of frontage. Narrow Victorian terraces in Hoole and Handbridge, 1930s semis around Upton and Vicars Cross, and newer estates on the edge of the city all need a slightly different approach, so we start every job with a proper look at the ground, the levels and where the water goes.
We lay block paving, resin bound, tarmac and imprinted concrete driveways, plus patios and garden landscaping. You deal with the same team from the first visit to the final check, and you don’t pay anything until the job is finished.
Most Chester homes fall under Cheshire West and Chester Council, so we’ll tell you on the survey whether your driveway or dropped kerb needs any permission and how to go about it.

Good to know
Planning and dropped kerbs in Chester
Most front driveways don’t need planning permission, as long as the surface is permeable or the rainwater runs onto a lawn or border. That’s one reason resin bound and permeable block paving are popular in Chester: they let you pave the whole frontage without an application.
If you need a new dropped kerb, that’s a separate approval from the council. Roads in and around the city centre are busier and more often classified, and parts of Chester are conservation areas, so it’s worth checking early. We’ll go through it with you on the survey.

FAQs
Questions people ask
Do you cover all of Chester?
Yes. We work right across Chester and the villages around it, including Hoole, Upton, Vicars Cross, Great Boughton, Huntington, Christleton, Handbridge, Saltney, Blacon and Waverton.
Do I need planning permission for a new driveway in Chester?
Usually not. In England a new front driveway over 5m² only needs planning permission if it’s non-permeable and the water can’t drain onto a lawn or border. Permeable block paving and resin bound driveways normally don’t need it. Listed buildings and conservation areas can have extra rules.
How do I get a dropped kerb in Chester?
Apply to Cheshire West and Chester Council before any work starts. If the council approves it, the work is done by an accredited contractor. If you’re on an A, B or C road you may also need planning permission.
Which driveway is best for a terraced house in Chester?
For narrow frontages, block paving and resin bound both work well. Block paving copes with tight cuts and steps, and resin gives a smooth, permeable finish. We’ll show you both on the survey.
