The best driveway depends on your property, preferred appearance, budget, drainage requirements and how the driveway will be used. BMS Driveways installs resin bound, block paving, permeable tarmac, close graded tarmac and asphalt driveways. Resin provides a sleek contemporary appearance, block paving offers excellent design flexibility, while tarmac and asphalt can provide strong, practical driveway surfaces. We can discuss the different options and help you choose a driveway suited to your home.

The cost of a new driveway in Reading depends on several factors, including the size of the driveway, chosen material, existing ground conditions, preparation required, drainage and overall design. Because every property is different, there is no single price that applies to every driveway. BMS Driveways provides free, no-obligation driveway quotations in Reading, allowing us to assess your requirements and provide a price based on the individual project.

Neither resin nor block paving is automatically better for every property. Resin bound driveways provide a smooth, modern finish and are permeable when installed as part of an appropriate system. Block paving driveways provide greater flexibility with colours, patterns, borders and bespoke designs. The best choice will depend on the style of your property, the look you want to achieve, drainage requirements and your budget.

Resin bound driveways can provide a permeable surface when correctly designed and installed as part of a suitable permeable system. This allows water to drain through the surface and can help reduce standing water. The existing ground conditions, base and overall drainage design should be assessed before installation.

Yes. Block paving is a popular driveway option because it is durable, versatile and highly customisable. Different colours, patterns and borders can be used to create a driveway that complements the property. BMS Driveways installs bespoke block paving driveways using premium materials and designs tailored to individual homes.

Open graded or permeable tarmac is designed to allow water to drain through the surface rather than simply collecting on top. It can provide a strong, smooth and practical driveway while helping with surface-water management when installed as part of an appropriate drainage system.
