Driveways for homes in Costhorpe
A driveway is the first thing anyone sees when they pull up outside your house, and it takes more punishment than any other surface on the property. We design and lay driveways from the ground up — lifting the old surface, excavating to the right depth, getting the sub-base and drainage right, then finishing in the material that suits the property. Resin, block paving, or a combination with a contrasting border, edging and a proper threshold. The finish is the part you see; the preparation underneath is the part that decides whether it still looks right in ten years, and it is where we spend the time.
Working in Costhorpe
Costhorpe sits immediately north of Worksop, effectively continuous with Carlton in Lindrick, and it grew around the colliery and the works serving it. The housing is largely brick terracing and semis from that period on regular plots, with later development added around it, and the plots follow the pattern common to purpose-built pit housing — modest frontages designed as front gardens, and longer rear gardens than the house frontage suggests. Converting those front gardens into off-road parking is the most frequent job here, and on the narrower frontages the setting out is what makes it work: the width, the threshold position and the fall to the road have to be right first time because there is no spare space to correct a poor layout later.
