Working in Uttoxeter

Uttoxeter is a market town on the A50 near the Derbyshire border, best known for its racecourse. It has a compact Georgian and Victorian centre and substantial modern housing to the south and west of town.

Around Uttoxeter we lay drives for everything from period cottages with gravel lanes to modern homes with block-paved frontages.

For Uttoxeter (ST14), planning applications are handled by East Staffordshire Borough Council, and highways matters such as scaffold licences, skips on the road and dropped kerbs by Staffordshire County Council. Our yard at Kimberley Business Park is through Abbots Bromley on the B5013, about thirteen miles away.

How we work

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.

We dig out to the right depth for vehicle loads, lay and compact a Type 1 sub-base in layers, then fix kerbs or edging before laying the surface. Cutting corners at this stage is why so many drives sink and rut.

Driveways in Uttoxeter: common questions

Are there local ground or drainage considerations in Uttoxeter?

With the River Dove to the east and plenty of new housing, drainage design and foundation depth vary noticeably across Uttoxeter. We check the site and any available records before we price the work.

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.

How long does a new drive take?

A typical domestic drive takes a few days, depending on size, the amount of digging and the surface chosen.

Why do some drives sink?

Usually because the sub-base was too thin or not compacted. We dig to the right depth and compact Type 1 in layers.

Which areas near Uttoxeter do you cover?

We cover Uttoxeter and nearby areas including Rocester, Bramshall, Doveridge, Marchington and Kingstone.
