Driveways for Bricknell's 1930s streets

Bricknell's semis and detached houses were built when car ownership was new, and their generous frontages are now mostly drives. Brindle and charcoal block paving is the established look, with resin bound gaining ground on refurbished houses. Tarmac with a block edge is the value alternative and looks sharp against the red brick.

Practical points for Bricknell plots

A typical Bricknell job is a full conversion or a replacement: old concrete or tired tarmac out, 150 to 200mm sub-base in, new surface laid, dropped kerb approved by Hull City Council where one is missing. The area's slow-draining ground makes falls and drainage the detail to interrogate in any quote: water should leave the drive, never sit on it or run to the house.

Typical Bricknell prices

A two-car drive of 45 to 55m2 typically quotes £2,200 to £5,500: gravel from £30/m2, tarmac from £45/m2, block paving and resin from £70/m2.
