About Us
Driveways UK was started to help homeowners understand the price of a new driveway before they get quotes from local contractors. Whether it is resin, block paving, tarmac, gravel, concrete or pattern imprinted concrete we try to make pricing easier to understand.
Installing a new driveway is a big investment and it isn’t always easy to understand what you are supposed to pay. This is why we have created a collection of cost guides, calculators and informative articles to give you a realistic idea of how much your project could cost.
Independent Cost Guides
Each project is different but it makes organising a project much easier if you have a realistic budget. Our guides help you to look at the most popular driveway materials, the factors that influence pricing, regular maintenance expenses and optional extras that are often missed during the budgeting phase. We also explain how different aspects like the size of the driveway, access, groundwork, drainage and location can affect the price at the end.
The calculators on this website provide an instant estimate based on what your requirements. They are designed to help you set a budget and compare quotes and obviously cannot replace a detailed survey from an actual installer.
How We Estimate Driveway Costs
Our figures in our price guides come from a mix of recent UK market research, manufacturer pricing, published industry data, and actual installer rates and we update these rates quarterly to keep our website up to date. We provide realistic ranges of prices and not a fixed price based on information from multiple sources.
Each driveway is unique and certain aspects like ground conditions, access, location and materials can all have an impact on the final cost, so the figures on this site should be treated as a guide not a final quote.
Compare Local Quotes
Once you know roughly how much it might cost, the next step is to find the right installer.
If you’d like to compare different prices, you can ask for free quotes from local driveway professionals using our quote forms. Get a few quotes to compare and get a better idea of local pricing and the right company for your project. There is no compulsion to accept a quote, and you are free to pick the installer that suits your needs the best.
Our Goal
Driveways UK’s aim is to help make it easier for homeowners to plan and budget for a new driveway. We want to help you make informed decisions and avoid unexpected costs down the line, which is why we offer clear price guides, straightforward advice and easy-to-use calculators.
