Concrete driveways in West Malling

At Kings Hill the drives are modern and uniform, so the work is extension, replacement and widening, plus the parking courts and hardstandings that come with estate and commercial plots. Depth follows the vehicle, and on the commercial side that means loading aprons designed for something considerably heavier than a car.

In the countryside around the village the equivalent job is a yard, paddock or stable entrance: the point where a track meets a lane, taking horseboxes, trailers and tractors, and failing first because everything crosses it loaded.

On the high street itself, off-street frontage is scarce and the equivalent order is usually a courtyard or a small hardstanding, poured as a slab.

Getting the concrete onto the drive in West Malling

The lorry cannot stand on what it is pouring, so the standing position and the drive are separate pieces of ground and the concrete works from one to the other.

At Kings Hill that is easy. Wide carriageways, room to stand, and a chute that covers a useful part of a domestic drive before anyone reaches for a barrow.

On a rural entrance the standing position is a lane, and a vehicle discharging blocks it for the duration, so the pour is planned as one session and the passing places nearby matter as much as the width at the gate. The apron is often the only firm route into the yard, so agree what crosses it and when before the concrete goes down.

Near the high street the constraint is loading restriction and standing time rather than either of those, and the pour is small enough that a smaller vehicle in a booked window is normally the sensible answer.
