Driveways & Paving in Ickenham
In Ickenham and across Hillingdon we are most often asked for block paved, tarmac and resin driveways. Large areas in the north and west are Green Belt, and villages such as Harefield, Ruislip and Ickenham have conservation areas at their centres. Near Heathrow in the south, noise insulation is a practical consideration for glazing, lofts and extensions.
Driveways & Paving in Ickenham
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.
- Natural stone & porcelainSandstone, limestone, granite setts and porcelain for paths, steps and front gardens.
- Drainage & dropped kerbsChannel drains, soakaways and permeable build-ups, plus help with the council dropped-kerb application.

FAQ
Driveways & Paving in Ickenham
Not answered here? Call 07595 386864 and ask us directly.
Do you carry out driveways & paving in Ickenham?
Yes. Ickenham is in Hillingdon, where we work every week alongside Uxbridge, Hayes, Ruislip and Northwood.
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.
