Quality Driveway Company Cambridge

Cambridge is about 25 miles east of our yard in Sandy – roughly 40 minutes along the A603 and A428 – and we are in the city and the villages around it most weeks. We cover Cambridge itself, St Neots, Cambourne, Papworth Everard, Huntingdon and St Ives, and the villages down to Royston and Great Shelford.

The city’s housing shapes the work. Victorian terraces off Mill Road, Romsey and Chesterton have narrow frontages where every centimetre counts, so a seamless resin bound surface with a neat border usually gives the cleanest result and keeps the drive permeable, which Cambridge City Council expects on front‑garden parking. The 1930s semis in Cherry Hinton, Trumpington and Arbury have wider plots suited to block paving, and the new developments at Cambourne, Great Kneighton and Northstowe often come with a basic builder’s drive that owners want to extend or upgrade.

Two local practicalities we handle for you: many Cambridge streets are in conservation areas, where we match borders and setts to the character of the road; and if you need a new or widened dropped kerb, that is a Cambridgeshire County Council highways application, which we can advise on before any work starts.

Common questions

• Do I need planning permission for a driveway in Cambridge? Only if the new surface is non‑permeable and over five square metres with nowhere for rainwater to soak away. Our resin bound driveways are permeable by design, and we build tarmac and block paving to drain to a border or soakaway, so permission is not normally needed. Conservation areas may have extra guidance, which we check for you.
• How long will the work take? Resin bound is typically two to three days including preparation, tarmac two to four, and block paving four to seven depending on size and pattern. We confirm a schedule on the quote.
• Do you charge for travel to Cambridge? We work in the Cambridge area regularly, so travel is built into our normal pricing rather than added as an extra.
