Driveway Calculator Questions
How accurate is this calculator?
Mid figure matches average BALI/Interlay-approved installer pricing for 2024-2025 UK installations. Variance ±18% reflects real installer quote spread.
When do I need SuDS-compliant drainage?
Since 2008 UK regs: any new driveway over 5m² must use a permeable surface OR install drainage to a soakaway, garden, or porous area — NOT into the public sewer.
Do I need a drop kerb?
If accessing from a public road without an existing dropped kerb, yes. Costs £900-£1,800 via your council's highways department.
Resin vs block paving?
Resin: smoother, fully permeable, 20-25 year lifespan. Block paving: traditional, repairable per-block, 25-30 year lifespan. Similar cost (£70-£120/m²).
