What’s best for longer drives around Polegate and the A22/A27?

For longer access drives around Polegate, tar and chip surfacing is often a good option. It looks natural against the local countryside, gives good grip and is cost-effective for longer rural-style driveways.

Do you handle drainage and edging as part of a Polegate driveway job?

Yes. We include proper excavation, MOT Type 1 sub-bases, neat edging and set falls so water runs away cleanly instead of ponding on the driveway. Drainage and edging are always part of the job, not an afterthought.

Groundwork and drainage in Polegate

Polegate sits between the South Downs and the lower-lying Pevensey Levels, so some plots can hold water and stay soft in wet weather. We dig out to the correct depth, install strong MOT Type 1 sub-bases, and set clean falls so rainwater runs away neatly instead of ponding on the surface or tracking towards the house.

On busier roads feeding the A22 and A27, we can also look at extra edging, channels and parking space so your driveway works properly with everyday comings and goings.

Polegate driveway questions

Is resin overlay suitable for older drives in Polegate?

Yes — if the existing tarmac or concrete base is sound and not breaking up. We’ll check the surface properly before quoting and let you know whether a resin overlay is suitable or if a full new base would be better.

What’s best for longer driveways around Polegate and the A22?

Tar & chip is a popular choice for long access drives because it grips well, looks natural with the local countryside and is cost-effective for bigger areas compared to full block paving.

Do you handle drainage and edging as part of the job?

Always. We set correct falls, tidy edges and strong sub-bases so the driveway lasts and drains correctly. Where needed, we can add channels or soakaways to keep water away from the property.
