Working in Rugeley

Rugeley sits in the Trent Valley on the edge of Cannock Chase, and it is home to our yard at Kimberley Business Park. The town mixes Victorian and Edwardian terraces close to the centre, inter-war and post-war semis around Etching Hill, Pear Tree and Brereton, and the large new neighbourhood rising on the former power station land.

In Rugeley many homes are swapping cracked concrete or gravel drives for tarmac or block paving with proper drainage.

Rugeley (WS15) falls under Cannock Chase District Council for planning and Staffordshire County Council for highways matters such as scaffold licences and dropped kerbs. Our yard at Kimberley Business Park is right here in town.

How we work

Since 2008, front gardens over five square metres paved with impermeable material usually need either drainage to a permeable area or planning permission. We design driveways so water drains correctly, using channels, soakaways or permeable paving where needed.

We agree levels against the house damp-proof course, existing paths and the pavement before any work starts, and we leave the site swept and clean with the old surface removed.

Driveways in Rugeley: common questions

Are there local ground or drainage considerations in Rugeley?

Rugeley's position on the Trent floodplain means ground conditions and drainage need checking carefully, particularly on lower-lying plots near the river and canal. We check the site and any available records before we price the work.

Is tarmac or block paving better for a drive in Rugeley?

Tarmac is quicker to lay and usually cheaper per square metre; block paving offers more design choice and individual blocks can be lifted and relaid. Our blog post on tarmac vs block paving explains it in detail.

Can you stop my drive flooding?

Yes. We add ACO channels across the entrance or by the house, gullies and soakaways sized for the area.

Can you install a dropped kerb?

A dropped kerb needs approval from the highway authority, Staffordshire County Council. We can explain the process and carry out the driveway works alongside it.

Which areas near Rugeley do you cover?

We cover Rugeley and nearby areas including Brereton, Etching Hill, Slitting Mill, Colton and Handsacre.
