About Northampton Driveways
Northampton Driveways helps homeowners across Northampton and the NN postcodes get free, competitive quotes for new driveways: block paving, resin bound, tarmac, gravel and pattern imprinted concrete, with practical local guidance alongside.
What we do
Northampton Driveways exists to make getting a new driveway simpler. Tell us about your drive in the two-minute quote form and you get free, written quotes for the work. There is no charge and no obligation: you compare the quotes, ask your questions, and decide in your own time.
We cover the whole of Northampton and the surrounding towns, every NN1 to NN5 postcode, and every common surface: block paving, resin bound, tarmac, gravel and pattern imprinted concrete, as well as patios and garden paving.
What a proper job looks like in Northampton
Northampton's Lias clay and older housing stock are unforgiving of shortcuts: clay swells in winter and shrinks in summer, so the build-up any installer here should be quoting is 150 to 200mm of compacted MOT Type 1 on a weed membrane, with falls that move water away from the house. Permeable options like resin bound and permeable block paving keep you clear of the 5m² front-garden planning rule without a soakaway.
Before hiring anyone: confirm public liability insurance, insist on an itemised written quote, and get the guarantee in writing. Any firm that will not do those three things is not worth your money.
Local guidance you can check
Alongside the quote service we publish plain-English guides for Northampton homeowners: current prices by material and drive size, an honest comparison of resin, block paving and tarmac, and the planning and dropped-kerb rules in plain English. Everything is written to be specific enough to check, reviewed quarterly, and updated when prices or rules change. If you spot anything out of date, tell us and we will fix it.
