Around them sit interwar and post-war estates, and newer development out toward Rushden Lakes and the edges of Higham Ferrers. The terraces mean small frontages where every square metre counts, original walls and gate piers worth keeping, and access that has to be worked out in advance. The later housing is generally a matter of drives that have outlived their base and gardens with levels nobody ever resolved. Across all of it, the job includes what sits underneath: excavation, compacted sub-base, edgings and drainage, then the surface and a full clean-up. ### Properties we work on here Victorian and Edwardian terraces from the shoe-industry period - Interwar and post-war estate housing - Family semis with single-width original driveways - Properties in Higham Ferrers and Raunds - Newer housing toward Rushden Lakes What we do in Rushden ## Services available in Rushden Every one of these is quoted as a complete job: materials, excavation, sub-base, edgings, drainage and waste removal all in the same price. ### Resin Bound Driveways Smooth, permeable resin bound surfacing laid over a properly prepared base.

More on groundwork, drainage & foundations Common jobs here ## What Rushden homeowners usually call about ### Small terraced frontages Narrow frontages need careful setting out, the paving pattern, the edge line and the drainage all have to work in a small space and still look deliberate from the road. ### Keeping original walls and piers Many of these houses still have their original front walls and gate piers. Where they are sound they are worth keeping and working to; where they are not, they can be rebuilt to match. ### Widening estate driveways Single-width drives on the later estates rarely suit two vehicles. Widening means reworking the frontage as a whole rather than adding a strip. ### Patios that sit level with the house Older gardens often have a patio that has settled, holds water and sits awkwardly against the back door. Rebuilding it properly resolves both the levels and the drainage. Local conditions ## The problems that come with building in Rushden Ground, drainage, building age and access all change what a job needs. These are the things we look at when we come out to you. ### Terraced access and logistics On-street parking and narrow frontages change how spoil and materials are moved, which is planned at the site visit rather than improvised on the day. ### Old brick walls near new paving Digging alongside an original front wall needs care, the wall's foundation is rarely deep, and the paving level has to respect it. ### Damp course levels on older houses Raising the outside level to avoid a step is the quickest way to create a damp problem inside. The finished level is set with that in mind. Coverage ## The Rushden area we cover We cover Rushden, Higham Ferrers, Raunds, Chelveston, Newton Bromswold and the surrounding villages, as well as neighbouring Wellingborough and the wider Northamptonshire area toward Northampton itself. Everything in this corner is within easy reach of the rest of our working area. On older properties the finished level is set to keep clear of the damp course, because a patio or drive built up too high creates a damp problem inside that costs far more than the paving. Choosing a surface ## What tends to suit Rushden homes Rushden's terraced frontages are small and highly visible, so the paving pattern and the edge line do a lot of the work. Block paving suits them and can be laid in a pattern that makes a narrow frontage look deliberate rather than cramped. Resin bound gives a smooth, continuous surface that suits later housing and copes well with rainfall. Where an original front wall or gate pier is sound it is worth keeping and working to; where it is not, rebuilding it in matching brick off a proper foundation usually does more for the look of the house than the paving does.

Common questions ## Rushden: questions we get asked Do you work in Rushden?Yes, including Higham Ferrers, Raunds and the surrounding Northamptonshire villages. What does a driveway cost in Rushden?Prices depend on the size of the area, the surface you choose and what has to be dug out first, so every job in Rushden is quoted after a site visit rather than priced over the phone. The visit and the quote are free and carry no obligation. Do you take a deposit?No. There is no deposit and no payment of any kind until the job is finished and you are happy with it. We buy all the materials ourselves up front. They simply stay ours until the job is paid for, which is what lets us ask nothing of you until the work is finished. Is the work guaranteed?All our work carries a 5-year workmanship guarantee covering everything but fair wear and tear, given directly by us rather than through a third-party scheme. Can you work around my original front wall?Yes. Where the wall is sound we work to it; where it needs rebuilding we can rebuild it to match, with a proper foundation underneath. Will a new driveway fit two cars on a terraced frontage?That depends on the width available, and Martin will tell you honestly at the site visit rather than promising it first and finding out later. My patio holds water: can it be relaid?Yes. It is dug out, the base rebuilt and the falls reset so water runs away from the house instead of ponding. Do you clear all the waste?Yes, the old surface and excavated spoil go with us, and the site gets a full clean-up. How do I arrange a quote?Call or message Martin. The visit and the written quote are free and carry no obligation.
