Concrete driveways in Faversham

The domestic driveway work sits on the streets beyond the market place and Abbey Street, where plots have their own frontage. Replacement drives, widened drives and hardstandings created from a front garden are the usual jobs, at ordinary domestic depth over a compacted sub-base.

The rural version is a different specification for the same shape of pour. A farm or orchard entrance apron takes tractors, telehandlers and loaded trailers, not cars, so the depth follows the heaviest thing that will ever stand on it and the design is worth thinking about rather than assuming. Gateway pads, passing bays and the first few metres where a track meets a lane are the same job under another name.

Getting the concrete onto the drive in Faversham

The lorry cannot drive on the finished surface, so the pour is discharged from the standing position and worked away from it. In town that standing position is the street, and Faversham streets outside the core are manageable but not generous, so the practical question is whether the mixer can hold the kerb for the length of a discharge without blocking a route that has no alternative.

On a farm entrance the standing position is the lane, and the lane is often single-track with passing places. That has two effects worth planning for. A vehicle standing to discharge is blocking the lane while it does so, and the apron being poured is frequently the only firm ground between the lane and the yard, so once it goes in nothing crosses it for a while. Sequence the delivery around that rather than discovering it.

Arranging a Faversham drive or apron

Send the area, the depth, what will actually stand on it, and whether the standing position is a street or a lane. Your quotation, delivery and payment are agreed directly with the approved supplier appointed to your pour.
