How Does the Driveway or Patio Installation Process Work?

Site survey: Armoured Drives visits the property, discusses how the area will be used and assesses its dimensions, access, existing surface, ground conditions, levels, boundaries and drainage requirements.
Options and quotation: The team explains suitable surfaces, colours, patterns, edging and layout options. The written quotation sets out the agreed design, materials, preparation work and installation requirements for the project.
Preparation and installation: Armoured Drives removes the existing surface where required, prepares and compacts the sub-base, installs the necessary drainage and edging, and lays the chosen driveway or patio surface using its own team rather than subcontractors. The expected installation time is confirmed before work begins and depends on the size, surface, access, ground conditions and weather.
Handover: When the work is complete, the team checks the finished surface, edging and drainage, clears the working area and explains any immediate care or usage requirements. New driveway and patio installations are backed by a 10-year guarantee.

How much will a new driveway or patio cost?

The cost of a new driveway or patio depends on the size of the area, the preparation required, site access, drainage, the chosen surface, edging and design details. Armoured Drives provides a free, no-obligation site survey and quotation based on your property, preferred materials and the agreed specification.

How long does driveway or patio installation take?

Installation time varies according to the size of the area, the amount of preparation required, site access, drainage, the chosen surface and the weather. Armoured Drives will explain the expected programme before work begins and keep you informed throughout the project if conditions affect the planned schedule.

Do I need planning permission for a new driveway?

Many new or replacement driveways do not require planning permission when a permeable surface is used or rainwater drains into a lawn or border. Permission may be required for more than five square metres of impermeable front-garden surfacing without suitable drainage. A new or altered dropped kerb also requires separate approval from the relevant highways authority.

Which areas do you cover?

Armoured Drives primarily covers Nottingham and Nottinghamshire, with driveway and patio projects also undertaken across Derbyshire and Leicestershire. Areas served include Beeston, Long Eaton, Sawley, Chilwell, Castle Donington and West Bridgford. Call 0800 696 5195 or send us your postcode to confirm whether we cover your location.

Is your driveway and patio work guaranteed?

Yes. New driveway and patio installations completed by Armoured Drives are backed by a 10-year guarantee. The guarantee provides additional reassurance about the completed installation, subject to its applicable terms and exclusions. Full details are available in our terms and conditions and can be discussed before work begins.

Do you use subcontractors?

No. Driveway and patio installations are completed by the Armoured Drives team rather than subcontractors or third parties. This gives you one team to deal with throughout the project, from the initial site survey and quotation through to installation, completion and handover.
