Driveways & Paving in Cockfosters
In Cockfosters and across Enfield we are most often asked for driveways in block paving, resin or tarmac. The north and west of the borough border Green Belt countryside, and Enfield Town, Winchmore Hill, Southgate and Bush Hill Park contain conservation areas. A vehicle crossover is needed for any new driveway, so check the council's requirements before paving a front garden.
Driveways & Paving in Cockfosters
A front that does the house justice.
A driveway fails from underneath. We dig out to the right depth, lay and compact a proper sub-base, sort the drainage, and only then lay the surface you actually see. That is why ours stay flat.
- Block pavingHerringbone and stretcher-bond driveways with contrasting borders, cut neatly around drains and steps.
- Resin-bound surfacingSmooth, permeable, low-maintenance surfaces in a wide range of stone blends.
- Tarmac drivewaysMachine-laid tarmac with block or kerb edging, for a hard-wearing drive at a sensible price.

FAQ
Driveways & Paving in Cockfosters
Not answered here? Call 07595 386864 and ask us directly.
Do you carry out driveways & paving in Cockfosters?
Yes. Cockfosters is in Enfield, where we work every week alongside Enfield Town, Southgate, Palmers Green and Winchmore Hill.
Do I need planning permission for a new driveway?
Not if the surface is permeable, or if rainwater drains to a border or soakaway within your property. Paving more than five square metres of front garden with a non-permeable surface that drains to the road does need planning permission. We design the drainage so you stay on the right side of the rule.
Do I need a dropped kerb?
Yes, if you will be driving over the pavement to reach the drive. The council carries out or licenses the kerb work. We can advise on the application and build the drive to meet it.
How long does a driveway take?
Most domestic driveways take three to six working days, depending on size, excavation and weather.
