Washington's housing stock is unlike anywhere else in the North East. Most of the residential streets in Sulgrave, Concord, Albany, Oxclose and Lambton were laid down between the 1960s and early 1980s as part of the new town development. That means estate-scale design, narrower frontages, communal drainage runs and a lot of original concrete or thin tarmac drives that are now well past their service life. We've spent over a decade replacing those original installations, including dozens around the Galleries and Glebe, and we know what's under the surface before we lift a slab. Response time: Free survey across NE37 and NE38, Washington jobs typically booked in within the same week.

Property age, climate, infrastructure and soil all decide how a driveway ages in Washington. Here's what we look for before we quote. ### Original new-town sub-bases A lot of Washington's 1970s drives were laid on minimal hardcore. After fifty winters, the ground beneath has settled unevenly. We dig down to MOT Type 1 properly, no overlaying on failed foundations. ### Shared boundary lines on terraces Sulgrave and Concord terraces often share kerb lines with neighbours. We mark, agree and document the boundary before lifting anything, so the job doesn't end in a neighbour dispute. ### Exposed estate frontages Washington sits on higher ground than Sunderland, exposed estates get more wind-driven rain. We spec proper falls and drainage so water never tracks back toward the house. ### Older surface-water connections Some 1970s estates still drain to combined sewers. Permeable resin keeps you off the connection altogether and out of any future planning headache. Our Process ## Five steps.
