What to know about Concrete driveways
A concrete drive is an unusual choice in Britain and a sound one in the right circumstances. Most new domestic drives here are block paving, resin bound gravel or tarmac, so a homeowner asking for concrete is normally after its particular strengths: a continuous surface with no joints for weeds, a base that will take a heavy vehicle without rutting, and a life measured in decades rather than years. Its weaknesses are just as specific. It cracks if the joints are wrong, it cannot be lifted and relaid the way block paving can, and it is about as impermeable as a domestic surface gets.

Prices depend on the details of your project. We only publish price ranges when they’re backed by real LokalMatch quote data or reliable sources. Until then, here’s what usually changes the price:
- Size and thickness of the area
- Removal of the old surface
- Excavation and base preparation
- Finish, colour or pattern
- Access for equipment and trucks
- Steps, curves, drains or retaining edges
How to choose concrete contractors in Smethwick
- Choose a contractor who explains how they'll prepare the base, since most concrete and interlock problems start underneath.
- Ask how they'll slope the surface so water drains away from the house.
- Get a written quote that covers excavation, base material, reinforcement, finish and removal of the old surface.
- Look at jobs they finished a few seasons ago to see how they've held up through freeze and thaw.
- Ask whether they'll call to have underground utilities located before digging.
Questions to ask concrete contractors before you hire
- How deep will you excavate, and what base will you put down?
- Will you use reinforcement, and what kind?
- How will you make sure water drains away from the house?
- Does this work need a permit from my municipality?
- How soon can the surface be walked on or driven on after it's done?
- What warranty do you offer for cracking, settling or heaving?
Concrete driveway permits in England
Some concrete driveway work needs a permit or has to meet local bylaws. Rules vary by municipality, so ask your pro whether a permit is needed and who will apply for it — and check with your city or town if you’re unsure.
