Local driveway installers for Timperley
Timperley sits between Sale and Altrincham, so it is close to our base on Marsland Road. Many Timperley roads are lined with 1930s semis and detached houses that have decent front gardens. A lot of those plots were never designed for two or three cars. That is why many of the Timperley jobs we are asked to price are about making more room to park.
Typical jobs are widening a single drive, taking out part of a front lawn, or replacing an old concrete or tarmac surface that has cracked and sunk. Whatever the finish, we dig out to a proper depth, lay and compact a sub-base, and set the edges and falls so rainwater runs where it should.

- A tarmac drive for a practical, lower-maintenance finish, with block edging for kerb appeal
Planning a Timperley driveway: what to think about
- Parking layout first: measure your cars and how you open doors. A drive that is a little too narrow is frustrating every day. We will mark out the layout with you on site.
- Dropped kerb width: a wider drive often needs a wider dropped kerb. In Timperley that is a Trafford Council application, so check it before you commit to the layout.
- EV charging: if you are thinking about an electric car, tell us early. Your electrician can run a cable duct under the drive before it is surfaced, which saves digging it up later.
- Permeable surfaces: new front hard surfaces over 5 m² need to drain properly to avoid needing planning permission. See our driveway drainage guide.
Timperley is about 1.9 miles in a straight line from our base on Marsland Road, Sale, inside our 20-mile service area. Council for dropped kerbs and planning here: Trafford Council. Postcodes: WA15.

Driveway questions from Timperley homeowners
Can you widen my existing driveway in Timperley?
Yes. We can extend into the lawn or border and either join the new section to the old surface or resurface the whole drive so it matches. If the kerb also needs widening, you will need Trafford Council approval for the dropped kerb.
Can resin go straight over my old tarmac drive?
Sometimes. Resin can be laid over tarmac or concrete that is sound, stable and free of major cracks, sinking or drainage problems. If the old drive is breaking up, a proper dig-out and new base is the only way to get a lasting finish. We will tell you honestly which applies after a site visit.
How long will I be without my drive?
It depends on the size of the drive, the surface and the weather. We will give you a work programme with your quote. Resin needs time to cure before you can drive on it, and we will tell you exactly when it is safe to use.
