Useful Information For Building Concrete Driveways

As a company specialising in building pattern imprinted concrete driveways Manchester wide, we are frequently faced with certain common questions from customers wanting to know as much as possible about the process of installing a new driveway before committing to it. To help those in doubt but who cannot contact us, we have taken it upon ourselves to provide some useful information for building pattern imprinted concrete driveways. That information can be found in the lines below.

Planning Permits

A UK law passed in 2008 requires planning permits to be acquired before building concrete driveways. Manchester residents should be aware, however, that the same law allows planning permission to be waived as long as an effort is made to allow for natural draining of water into the soil below, which can be achieved, for example, through the use of French drains, storm drains or soak-aways.

Installation

Building concrete driveways usually takes about a week. Manchester residents are, however, advised that laying concrete at freezing temperatures can affect its durability and strength, while rainy weather could affect the finish of the driveway. As such, it is prudent to allow for slightly longer time-frames, to account for the region’s unstable weather.

Price

There are a number of factors influencing installation price for pattern imprinted concrete driveways. Manchester homes feature different characteristics which all influence the quote, from drainage to location, size and complexity of the installation. In general, however, it is safe to assume building concrete driveways in a small area will be more expensive than a larger one, and that installations in complex or hard to access areas will also cost more.

These are only a few bits of useful information about building concrete driveways Manchester residents can use when inquiring about our services. Those wishing to know more should not be afraid to contact us with their additional queries!
