First impressions and last jobs

The driveway is the first thing anyone sees and the patio is where you spend the summer. Both are only as good as what is underneath them.

We dig out to the right depth, lay a compacted sub base and sort the drainage before any surface goes down. Resin driveways are laid by our partner, a Daltex approved installation team, and our natural stone and porcelain paving comes from Paving Stones Direct, one of the largest paving suppliers in the country.

Because driveway and patio work is quick to turn round, it is often the easiest way to improve how a house looks.

Resin bound driveways

Resin driveways are laid by our partner, a Daltex approved installation team, using Daltex resin and dried aggregates.

A resin bound surface is only as good as the base under it. We excavate, lay and compact a sub base, lay a porous asphalt base on top, set the edging, and then the resin is mixed and trowelled by hand to a smooth, even finish. It is permeable, so rain drains straight through rather than running off onto the road.

What clients say

★★★★★

Our requirement was an extension to our driveway that matched in every way the surface our house builder had laid two years before. Barlow Construction of Thirsk project managed the work and every objective was fully and very competently achieved. We were delighted by the outcome.

Driveway and patio questions

Anything else, call us on 07816 237961.

Do resin driveways need planning permission?

Resin bound surfaces are permeable, so front driveways laid in resin bound surfacing normally do not need planning. Non permeable surfaces over five square metres in a front garden usually need planning unless water drains to a lawn or border.

How long does a driveway take?

It depends on the size, the base required and the surface, and you get a timescale with your quotation.

Who lays your resin driveways?

Our resin driveways are laid by our partner, a Daltex approved installation team, using Daltex resin and aggregates.

Where does your paving come from?

Our natural stone and porcelain paving comes from Paving Stones Direct, one of the largest paving suppliers in the country.

What our clients say

★★★★★

We were introduced to Barlow Construction through our architect. They proved themselves to be a professional, trustworthy and reliable building company. Nothing was too much trouble. Originally taken on to do a single storey extension, which they did to an extremely high standard, we then asked them to lay a full surround patio with ACO drainage and repair our chimney stack. They were very tidy, clearing and putting everything away at the end of each day. We would wholeheartedly recommend them.

Every room has been upgraded in our extended bungalow by Barlow Construction. It took five months of continuous work and we can only describe it as faultless, not a word we use lightly. From day one their prime concern was to make sure we got what we wanted, with quality, politeness and excellent communication. Scrubbing the new patio on the last day summed up their whole attitude.

Lewis and the team did a brilliant job on our extension. Without them we would not have achieved our dream home. From basic drawings, a huge job was completed in record time to a very high standard, and Lewis always accommodated the changes we wanted. Our architect commented on the workmanship and took photos for his own website.

Barlow Construction has helped me through a major renovation of an 1860s property, involving new suspended ceilings, new wall linings throughout, full damp proofing, new doors and lintels, a new central heating system, and new bathroom and kitchen installs. Lewis has been a pleasure to deal with throughout, and his advice and guidance have been invaluable. His onsite team show considerable depth of experience, with no dramas in dealing with the unexpected work that crops up in an old building. If only all firms were like this to deal with.

★★★★★

Lewis and the team did a fantastic job on our extension from start to finish. Communication was excellent throughout, they kept us updated at every stage, turned up when they said they would, and left the site clean and tidy each day. The finish is exactly what we wanted and the whole process was far less stressful than we expected.

★★★★★

We recently used Barlow Construction for a refurbishment project and were extremely pleased with the service and the quality of work. Lewis was great to deal with from the start. Professional, reliable and always on hand to offer advice on the best approach and industry best practice. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Lewis and the team.
