Driveways Sittingbourne

A new driveway should do more than improve how your home looks. It should handle daily vehicle use, drain properly, and stay solid for years with the right preparation and maintenance. At LED Construction, we install driveways across Sittingbourne and Kent using the right groundwork from the start.

Our in-house team handles tarmac, block paving, resin-bound, and gravel driveways, with no subcontractors or handoffs. Every project begins with a free site visit, where we check the ground, existing surface, drainage, and access before giving you a clear written estimate.

Four driveway surfaces we lay in Sittingbourne

We install tarmac, block paving, resin-bound, and gravel driveways across Sittingbourne. Each surface suits a different property, budget, and type of use, so we help you choose the option that makes the most sense for your home.

Tarmac driveways

We lay tarmac over a compacted MOT Type 1 sub-base, with the right binding and wearing layers for daily vehicle use. It is a practical choice for larger driveways, vans, family cars, and regular traffic.

Block paving driveways

We install block paving for homeowners who want more choice in pattern, colour, and finish. It also makes future repairs easier because individual blocks can be lifted and reset if needed.

Resin-bound driveways

We install resin-bound driveways for a smooth, modern, permeable finish. Water drains through the surface, which can help with SUDS requirements and reduce standing water.

Gravel driveways

We install gravel driveways for a cost-effective, natural-looking surface. With proper edging and a geotextile membrane, gravel can stay neat, drain well, and suit older or rural properties.

How We Decide If Your Driveway Needs Repair Or Replacement

We look at the difference between surface wear and deeper sub-base failure. That tells us whether a repair is likely to hold or whether starting again is the better option.

It may be repairable if:

  • The cracking is light and has not spread wider than 5 to 10mm
  • The surface does not move underfoot
  • There is one small pothole or dip with a solid base around it
  • The tarmac is faded or slightly frayed but still firm
  • A few block paving blocks are loose or displaced without sinking underneath

It may need replacing if:

  • Large sections feel soft, loose, or unstable
  • The driveway moves after rain because the sub-base is holding water
  • There is widespread “alligator” cracking across the surface
  • A dip is sending water back toward the property
  • A resin surface is lifting or separating from the base

When we are not sure from the surface alone, we check it during a site visit. We will tell you honestly whether a repair is worth doing or whether replacement is the safer long-term choice.

How An Led Construction Driveway Works, From First Call To Finished Surface

Every project starts with a free site visit. We come to you, look at the existing surface and ground conditions, and give you a written estimate for the work. No phone quotes, no ballpark figures. The number we give you after seeing the job is the number on the invoice.

Once you are happy to proceed, we handle the full installation from ground preparation through to finishing. That means our team strips the existing surface where needed, installs the sub-base to the specification required for your chosen material, and completes the build layer by layer. We do not subcontract any part of the work.

We will not start a job unless the written estimate is confirmed. That is our standard, not an exception.

Typical Sittingbourne residential driveways run three to seven days, depending on size, ground conditions, and weather.

What Does A New Driveway Cost In Sittingbourne?

Pricing depends on the size of the area, the material chosen, ground conditions, and the extent of any existing surface removal and disposal. We quote in writing after a site visit, so the figure we give you reflects the actual job rather than an average.

To start the process, call or email us to arrange a free site visit. We will come out, assess the ground, and give you a written estimate for your review.

Why Sittingbourne Homeowners Trust Led Construction With Their Driveway

A few things that matter when you are choosing a contractor for a project that stays on your property for the next 15 to 25 years.

We use our own team for every job. No subcontractors, no handoffs to a third party after the sale. The crew you meet during the site visit is the crew that does the work. That gives us quality control that brokers and larger operators cannot guarantee.

We work Monday to Saturday, 7 am to 9 pm. If something comes up mid-job that needs a decision, you can reach us directly. We are not a call-centre operation.

Free estimates include a proper site visit, not a drive-by assessment or a price from Google Street View. Ground conditions vary across Sittingbourne. Clay-heavy areas, previous hardcore layers, and proximity to drives and kerb crossings all affect the preparation work. We need to see the job to quote it honestly.

One thing we will not do: offer a low initial quote and revise it upward once work has started. If the ground conditions we find during preparation change the scope, we will tell you before we continue.
