Patterdale
Driveways in Patterdale, done properly
Patterdale, Glenridding and the head of Ullswater get weather that most of the county only reads about. Kirkstone is one of the first roads in England to close, the becks come down off Helvellyn and St Sunday fast enough to move stone, and Glenridding has had that demonstrated to it within the last decade. Everything we build up here is built for water arriving in volume and at speed: deeper sub-bases, proper cross-falls, and outfalls sized for a storm rather than for a shower. A lot of the work is tracks and farm approaches rather than ornamental driveways, and a lot of the properties are holiday lets and B&Bs where the parking has to work in February as well as August. Exposure also decides the pergola and gazebo work — post bases up here go deeper and get concreted properly, or the first real gale takes them.

FAQs
Questions from Patterdale
No. It is a run over or round from us and there is still no call-out charge — CA11 covers Patterdale and Glenridding as well as Penrith.
That is the whole reason we build it the way we do. Deeper sub-base, cross-falls set to move water off quickly, and drainage sized for a storm rather than a rain shower. The failures we get called to look at up this valley are almost always undersized drainage, not the surface.
Yes — around here that is a good share of the work. A track that carries a tractor and a feed lorry is a different build from a car driveway: deeper, coarser, and entirely about how water gets off it. We price it as what it is rather than as a driveway.
