Driveways in Cottingham
Driveway quotes for Cottingham, the big village west of Hull: period property around the centre, interwar and post-war family housing beyond, each taking a different surface well.
Driveways for Cottingham's two halves
Cottingham splits neatly in two: the period village core with cottages and older terraces, where gravel and sett-look paving keep the character, and the interwar and post-war family housing around it, where brindle block paving is the standard and resin bound is gaining ground on refurbished houses.
Practical points for Cottingham plots
The village core is a conservation area, so sympathetic permeable materials are the sensible route there and some properties may need a check with East Riding of Yorkshire Council, which handles Cottingham's planning and dropped kerbs. On the estates, the usual rules apply: sub-base depth on slow-draining ground, drainage away from the house, and the kerb approved before work starts.
Typical Cottingham 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.
