  • Convenience: A designated parking space eliminates the hassle of finding on-street parking, and easy access to your home or commercial property can save considerable time, especially in urban areas
  • Increased Property Value: Properties with off-road parking typically have higher market values as buyers and tenants are often willing to pay a premium for the convenience and security of private parking
  • Enhanced Safety: Off-road parking reduces the risk of vehicle damage and theft by providing a safer environment for pedestrians and minimising the likelihood of accidents involving moving vehicles
  • Improved Aesthetics: Well-designed driveways and parking areas can enhance the kerb appeal of your home or premises with materials like resin-bound and tarmac offering a polished and professional look

Tarmac Driveways

Tarmac driveways are relatively fast and inexpensive to install, making them a standard car park surfacing option for many residential and commercial properties in and around Thornbury. The material is highly durable, able to withstand heavy traffic, and suitable for busy car parks and driveways.

These surfaces, offered by our experienced tarmac contractors, provide a smooth and even vehicle platform and offer a clean and professional appearance.

Resin-Bound Driveways

While more expensive than other driveway installations, our resin-bound driveways are available in various colours and finishes and can instantly enhance the visual appeal of any property. They allow water to drain through, which reduces the risk of flooding.

These popular eco-friendly driveways are resistant to cracking, weathering, and the spread of weeds. They require minimal upkeep, a bonus for busy households. 

Dropped Kerbs

Dropped kerbs are often required to ensure legal access to off-road parking. They offer practical access to driveways and parking areas, which is particularly beneficial for those with mobility issues. They also require approval from local authorities and professional installation.

While they enhance the ease of access to off-road parking spaces, their convenience can also increase the market value of your property.

Car Park Surfacing

Public and private car parks accommodate multiple vehicles, making them ideal for commercial properties and suited to various surface materials such as tarmac, asphalt, concrete and block paving. 

Installation can be costly for larger areas, and the surface must meet specific standards, but our installations can easily withstand heavy traffic and adverse weather conditions.
