FAQs
Will upgrading my driveway void my NHBC warranty?
No, professionally installed driveways by a reputable contractor won't void your NHBC warranty. The key is proper installation that maintains drainage, DPC clearance, and structural integrity. We provide documentation for your records.
What documentation do you provide?
We provide a completion certificate, material specifications, and photographs showing key installation stages. This gives you evidence of proper workmanship should any warranty questions arise.
How do you maintain proper drainage?
We assess your existing drainage setup and either connect to existing systems or install compliant drainage. All our installations include proper falls and use permeable materials where required by SUDS regulations.
What is DPC clearance and why does it matter?
DPC (Damp Proof Course) is a barrier in your walls preventing moisture. We maintain minimum 150mm clearance between your finished driveway and the DPC level, preventing damp issues that could affect your warranty.
Are your installations inspected?
While not required, we welcome building control inspection. Our work meets all applicable standards and we're confident in every installation we complete.
