Driveways in Shepshed
Driveway Installers in Shepshed
Shepshed sits just west of Loughborough, close to junction 23 of the M1. The town has older terraces around the centre, plenty of post war family homes and a lot of newer housing on its edges. We work across all of it from our Loughborough base, laying resin bound, tarmac and block paving driveways.
Every survey, quote and installation is handled by our own team, so the people who measure up your drive are the people who build it.
Which Driveway Surface Suits Your Home?
For a busy family drive that takes two or three cars every day, tarmac and block paving are both hard wearing. Block paving gives you more choice of colour and pattern, and individual blocks can be lifted if you ever need to get at a pipe or cable underneath.
A resin bound driveway gives a smooth, modern finish with no joints for weeds. It’s permeable, so rain soaks through instead of pooling, and it suits newer homes where the frontage is fairly flat.
Planning and Dropped Kerbs in Shepshed
If you’re paving more than five square metres of front garden, the surface has to let rainwater drain into the ground on your property, or you’ll need planning permission. Resin bound and permeable block paving both meet this. With tarmac, we plan the drainage in from the start.
Shepshed is in Charnwood, and dropped kerb applications go to Leicestershire County Council as the highway authority. We include the dropped kerb as part of your driveway project.

Shepshed Driveway Questions
How long will my driveway take?
Most homes take between three and seven working days, depending on the size, the groundwork needed and the weather.
Is block paving or resin better for a busy family drive?
Both cope well with everyday parking when the base is built properly. Block paving is easier to patch if a section ever gets damaged, while resin bound is smoother, drains better and keeps weeds out. We can price both so you can compare.
