It is an indicative planning range based on the measured area, selected material, access, preparation and uploaded evidence for the property in Newbury. Hidden conditions and the installer’s final specification can change the formal quotation.

Yes. There is no charge to complete the online estimate.

Yes. Fully verified enquiries can be matched with suitable approved installers that have included Newbury within their coverage area.

Your identity, exact property, contact details, maps and uploaded media remain hidden until the completed enquiry passes the email deliverability check, four-character email code and manual telephone check, and one approved installer purchases it.

One. The verified lead is offered exclusively on a first-come, first-served basis and the first eligible installer to reserve and pay receives the full details.

Gravel often has the lowest configured surface rate, but excavation, edging, access and maintenance affect overall value. Compare complete specifications rather than only a square-metre figure.

Lifespan depends heavily on sub-base preparation, drainage, traffic, product quality and maintenance. A correctly constructed system generally performs better than a premium finish laid on a weak base.

Yes. Photographs help show the visible surface, access, drainage and obstacles, although they cannot reveal every hidden ground condition.

Yes. The estimator can locate the property and let you outline the intended work area on an aerial map. You should review and correct the boundary where necessary.

It depends on the property, area, surface and drainage design. Front-garden impermeable surfacing can require permission in some circumstances, so check current Planning Portal and local council guidance.

A council-approved vehicle crossing is normally needed to drive across a public pavement or verge. Requirements and applications vary by local authority.

The estimator asks about drainage and can include configured allowances. The installer’s written quotation should state exactly which channels, falls, permeable layers or soakaway work are included.

Duration depends on area, excavation, access, drainage, weather, curing and material. A straightforward domestic driveway may take several days, while complex groundworks can take longer.

Yes, where included in the agreed specification. The quotation should state what is being removed, how waste is handled and whether disposal charges are included.

No. The online figure is an indicative estimate. A contractor’s written quotation should define assumptions, exclusions, validity and the process for variations.

You complete the required verification and the project is checked before it can be offered exclusively to suitable approved installers covering Newbury. When an installer accepts it, the same account can support quotations, project records, documents, payments, concerns and feedback as those modules are enabled.

It is the shared project record designed to keep key stages, dates, installer updates, photographs, documents, quotations, payment records, concerns and feedback connected to the same project.

No. My New Driveway provides estimating, matching, record-keeping and payment technology. The installer remains responsible for the survey, specification, contract, workmanship, guarantees and regulatory compliance.

No. Where project payments are enabled, they are processed through the installer’s connected Stripe account and are not described as escrow.

The planned concern route lets a customer select the relevant stage, explain the issue and upload evidence so the installer and platform administrator can review the recorded information. The platform does not automatically decide fault.
