CHESHUNT DRIVEWAYS
Looking for Driveway Installers in Cheshunt?
Cheshunt grew in stages, and you can see it in the driveways. Commuter homes went up from the 1930s, once the railway made London easy to reach, and several council estates followed after the war. When the Lea Valley glasshouse industry declined from the late 1960s, many of the old nursery sites were turned into housing. Today, Cheshunt Lakeside is bringing up to 1,700 new homes to the former Tesco headquarters site.
On the older semis and estate homes, the original concrete or tarmac has often cracked or sunk, and the front garden was laid out long before most households had two cars. On newer homes, the drive is often a plain strip built for one. We look at how you use the drive now, how many cars it needs to take and where the rain goes. Cheshunt sits in the Lea Valley, so we treat drainage as seriously as the surface.
Dropped kerbs work differently here too. In most of Hertfordshire they’re handled by the county council, but in Broxbourne you apply to the borough council, which builds the kerb once your new driveway is finished. We plan the order of work around that.
We cover Cheshunt’s EN7 and EN8 postcodes and the areas around them, including Goffs Oak, Flamstead End, Hammond Street, Waltham Cross, Turnford, Wormley, Broxbourne, Hoddesdon and Cuffley. If you’re nearer Hertford or Welwyn Garden City, see our driveway pages for those towns too.
Types of Driveway We Install in Cheshunt
Resin, block paving and tarmac each have their place in Cheshunt. At the survey we’ll tell you which one we’d choose for your drive, and why.
Resin Driveways in Cheshunt
A resin bound driveway is natural stone aggregate held together with a UV-stable resin, trowelled smooth by hand. It gives a 1930s semi or a newer home a clean, modern front without the upkeep of gravel, and its colour holds in strong sun. Because every stone is bound in, bins and bikes can be wheeled across it without scattering anything onto the path.
The main reason we suggest resin in Cheshunt is drainage. The surface is porous, so rain soaks through into the base below instead of pooling on the drive or running into the road. Laid on a permeable base, it usually doesn’t need planning permission, however big the front garden.
Resin can also go over existing concrete or tarmac that’s in good condition, which saves the mess of a full dig-out. Expect two to four days on site, then 24 to 48 hours of curing before you park on it. More about our resin driveways.
Block Paving Driveways in Cheshunt
Block paving is a strong choice when a drive needs to get bigger. If you’re taking out a lawn or a low wall to fit a second car, it copes well with the extra weight and the turning. A herringbone pattern spreads the load best, and a contrasting border marks out where the drive ends. If you’re keeping part of the lawn, a border of the same blocks around it makes the whole frontage look planned rather than patched.
Concrete blocks come in plenty of colours that sit comfortably next to newer brickwork. On a drive that takes a van, we lay a deeper base so the blocks don’t rut. Permeable blocks let water drain away through the joints, which helps on a large frontage or one that tends to puddle. Single blocks can be lifted and relaid if a pipe ever needs reaching or one gets stained. More about block paving driveways.
Tarmac Driveways in Cheshunt
Tarmac is the budget-friendly way to surface a large area, so it suits wide frontages, shared drives and parking for several cars. It goes down quickly, takes heavy use, and with a proper base it lasts 20 to 30 years. If several neighbours share an access, it can be resurfaced in one go rather than house by house.
If your drive is old tarmac that has gone grey, cracked or been patched, we check the base first. Where it’s still sound, a new layer can go on top. Where it isn’t, we dig out the failed layers, because new tarmac on a weak base cracks again. A block or brick edge holds the sides in place. Tarmac doesn’t let water through, so we shape the drive to shed rain onto a lawn, border or soakaway. It’s ready to walk on the next day and drive on the day after. More about tarmac driveways.
