At All County Driveways Ltd, we understand that planning permission can be a concern when considering a new driveway. Generally speaking, you will not need planning permission for replacing an existing driveway, however if you are enlarging considerably then planning may be required. When you are laying a driveway using permeable (or porous) surfacing that allows water to drain through, such as gravel, permeable concrete block paving, or porous asphalt. Additionally, if you are directing runoff water to a lawn or border to drain naturally, planning permission would typically not be required.

However, if your new driveway or patio involves significant alterations to the existing drainage system or if you plan to use non-permeable materials such as traditional asphalt or concrete, you may need to seek planning permission. Local regulations and guidelines can vary, so we highly recommend consulting with your local planning authority to ensure compliance with all necessary requirements.

In most cases, yes — but it really depends on your site conditions.

At All County Driveways, we often install driveways on uneven or sloped ground, but the right solution depends on factors like how steep the area is, the soil type, and drainage.

When you contact us, our team will arrange a free site assessment to check what’s possible. If the ground is suitable, we can level, regrade, or stabilise the base to make sure your driveway is safe, durable, and built to last.

If the slope is too steep or the ground isn’t stable enough, we’ll suggest practical alternatives, such as retaining walls, tiered designs, or better drainage systems, to create a driveway that works with your landscape — not against it.

For most driveways and patios, you should reseal every 5 years — but the exact timing depends on the type of surface, weather conditions, and how much use the area gets.

At All County Driveways, we recommend regular resealing to protect against fading, oil stains, and water damage. Keeping your surface properly sealed not only improves its appearance but also extends its lifespan and makes cleaning much easier.

Here’s a quick guide:

• Block paving: Every 5 years, or sooner if you notice colour fading or moss growth.

• Tarmac driveways: Every 5 years, depending on wear and exposure to sunlight.

• Resin driveways: Typically every 5 years, but spot resealing may be needed in high-traffic areas.

• Concrete or patio slabs: Every 5 years, depending on porosity and weather conditions.

If your driveway or patio is losing its shine, feels rough, or allows water to soak in rather than bead on the surface, it’s probably time to reseal.

Sometimes, yes — but it depends on the condition of the surface.

At All County Driveways, we always start with a free, no-obligation site assessment to determine whether your driveway or patio can be repaired or if it would be better to replace it.

If the existing base is solid and the damage is only minor — such as a few loose blocks, light cracks, or general wear — we’ll happily recommend a cost-effective repair to restore the area.

However, if there are structural issues like subsidence, drainage problems, or a weak foundation, a full replacement is often the best long-term solution. This allows us to rebuild the base properly, improve water flow, and create a surface that looks great and performs for many years to come.

We will provide the following:

Honest advice on whether to repair or replace. Professional assessment before any work begins. New driveways and patios built for long-lasting strength and style.

Whether your driveway needs a simple fix or a complete upgrade, All County Driveways will always provide honest, expert advice so you get the most reliable and cost-effective result for your property.
