    Oxgangs Driveway FAQs

    How much does a driveway cost in Oxgangs, Edinburgh?

    Driveways in Oxgangs (EH13) cost £185-240/m² + VAT. Monoblock £185-240/m² + VAT, block paving £185-240/m² + VAT, and tarmac £185-240/m² + VAT. Oxgangs' 1960s-70s family homes typically have 30-55m² driveways, costing £2,000-£6,050. Driveway upgrades are extremely popular in the area.

    What driveways suit Oxgangs' 1960s-70s housing?

    Oxgangs' post-war housing suits modern block paving upgrades, fresh tarmac, or monoblock installations. Many homeowners replace aging concrete or cracked tarmac with Tobermore block paving in charcoal or brindle. These upgrades typically add £10,000-£15,000 to property values.

    Can you widen an existing Oxgangs driveway?

    Yes, many Oxgangs properties have narrow driveways designed for smaller cars. We extend driveways to accommodate modern vehicles, often adding a second parking space. This may require a dropped kerb extension—we handle all council applications and installations.

    Do Oxgangs driveways need upgraded drainage?

    Many older Oxgangs driveways have inadequate or failing drainage. We install modern SUDS-compliant drainage systems including ACO channels, permeable sub-bases, and soakaways. Upgrading drainage prevents water damage and meets current regulations.

    How long does an Oxgangs driveway replacement take?

    A typical Oxgangs driveway replacement takes 3-5 days. We remove the old surface, excavate to the correct depth, install our reinforced sub-base, and lay your chosen material. Most Oxgangs projects are completed within a working week.

    Is planning permission needed in Oxgangs?

    Most Oxgangs driveway replacements don't need planning permission as you're replacing an existing driveway. For new driveways or front garden conversions, permeable materials avoid the need for planning permission. We check all requirements before starting work.

    What guarantee do you offer in Oxgangs?

    Every Oxgangs installation is covered by our lifetime structural guarantee. This is especially important for older properties where ground conditions may be challenging. Our 40% stronger sub-base ensures long-lasting results that withstand daily family use.
