New Bungalow Driveway Ipswich 

At their home in Witnesham near Ipswich, Mr & Mrs B. were keen to find a Suffolk driveway services provider to transform the front of their bungalow. The tarmacked area in front of their garage was sprouting grass and the mossy growth had slip hazard practically written all over it. Near the front door the access way was looking more than tired too and the kerb edgings were a haven for weeds. 

At the site visit, the Booth Tarmacadam team were able to assess the existing drainage provision, the type of surfacing options applicable, taking into consideration the usage and nature of the bungalow driveway, turning and parking area at the property.

We subsequently quoted for and undertook work to: 

  • excavate area
  • lay 150mm type 1 hardcore
  • install channel drains piped into existing drainage
  • lay concrete edging kerbs
  • lay 40mm thickness of 20mm grade DBM
  • lay 30mm of 6mm grade stone mastic asphalt (SMA) which provides at durable, textured and rut-resistant wearing course

A helping hand & listening ear

Both before and during the resurfacing work, our cheery office team were in contact regularly to update the elderly couple, answer any questions and allay any concerns.

“ I spoke to them a lot,“ confirms one office colleague. “It is totally understandable that some, often more elderly, customers need reassurance, even when they know that they have an expert and very experienced, local team doing the work.”

She continues: “The  job was clearly a major undertaking for this lovely couple and at times they were really worried and stressed about how it would impact them and their neighbours. They also wanted to be reassured about the difference it would make to the look of their property and access to it once the work was completed.“

There was of course no need to worry about the Suffolk driveway services they had commissioned – Mr & Mrs B found themselves in safe hands with family-run company, Booth Tarmacadam.
