Carlisle

Driveways in Carlisle, done properly

Carlisle is mostly terraces and semis with short frontages, and a good share of the work here starts with turning a front garden into somewhere to actually put the car. That brings two things forward before any driveway gets laid: a dropped kerb, which is an application to Cumberland Council rather than something we can just do, and a surface that lets water through — because putting your rainwater into a road that has flooded twice in living memory is not a neighbourly thing to do, and increasingly not a permitted one either. Lay it permeable and both questions largely answer themselves. We’re about 40 minutes up the M6 and regularly in CA1, CA2 and CA3.

  • Dropped kerbs are a Cumberland Council application — we work to their spec and time the start around approval
  • Short frontages and on-street parking, so the crossing width usually decides what's possible, not the garden depth
  • A city that has flooded twice in living memory: we lay permeable or drain to a soakaway as standard

FAQs

Questions from Carlisle

No. It is 40 minutes up the M6 and there is no call-out charge and no charge for the quote.

The crossing itself is an application to Cumberland Council as the highway authority, and they specify how it is built. We'll tell you exactly what you need to apply for, work to their spec, and time our start around the approval so you aren't paying for a driveway you can't drive onto.

Often yes, and the constraint is usually the width of the crossing rather than the depth of the garden. We'll measure it and tell you honestly whether you'll end up with something you can actually get a car onto, before you spend anything.
