Appleby-in-Westmorland
Driveways in Appleby-in-Westmorland, done properly
This one is the doorstep — we’re based just outside Appleby, in Long Marton. The centre of town is a conservation area, Boroughgate in particular. That genuinely changes what is sensible in front of a period sandstone frontage. Riven natural stone and muted clay pavers settle in; a bright modern block sits on top of the building and shouts. The other Appleby fact worth building a schedule around is the Horse Fair in the first week of June, when getting an 8-wheeler of aggregate down some of these streets is not going to happen. We plan around it rather than pretending it isn’t there and letting you down on the week.
- Boroughgate and the town centre are a conservation area, which changes what suits a period sandstone frontage
- We schedule around Horse Fair week in early June rather than promise a date we can't keep
- 5 minutes away, so there's no such thing as too small a job to come and look at
- Planning sits with Westmorland and Furness Council, well east of the Lakes
- The Sands by the bridge takes the Eden when it floods, so levels and drainage get checked, not assumed
- Dufton, Bolton, Kirkby Thore, Great Asby and Murton are on the doorstep too

FAQs
Questions from Appleby-in-Westmorland
No, and we're only a few minutes away in Long Marton, so it is no trouble to come and look — even if it turns out to be a small job or not one for us at all.
Not in the town centre, no. Deliveries and access are impossible that week, so we schedule Appleby town jobs either side of it. If your job falls near it we'll say so when we quote rather than discovering it later.
Yes, but the material choice matters and sometimes the consent does too. Tell us early that the property is listed or in the conservation area and we'll go through what is and isn't going to be acceptable before you settle on a surface.
Yes, but the centre is where to be careful. Boroughgate and the streets round it are a conservation area, and we'd always check before laying anything in front of a period frontage there. Out of the centre, most driveways need no application at all so long as the water drains through or onto your own ground rather than into the road — only a large sealed front garden draining to the street does.
It changes where we are careful. The Eden came through the town in Storm Desmond, and the Sands by the bridge takes the worst of it. Near the river, a soakaway may simply fill with water that is already in the ground, so we test how it drains before we design anything. Up the hill, the concern flips to making sure a sloping drive doesn't send its water towards the house.
Yes, and with us based in Long Marton they are the closest work we have. Dufton, Bolton, Kirkby Thore, Great Asby, Murton, Hilton and Colby are all a few minutes away.
Materials that don't argue with it. Appleby's older buildings are the local red sandstone, and the best-looking drives in front of them use riven natural stone, muted clay pavers or a resin in a warm blend. A bright new grey block tends to sit on top of the house rather than belong to it. We bring samples to the site visit so you can see them against your own walls rather than in a brochure.
