Sunken and rutted drives are a common sight in parts of Corby, and the ground is usually why. Some of the town sits on land once quarried for ironstone, so what’s under a drive can vary from solid rock to loose fill.
We dig every Corby drive down to firm ground before building it back up on 200mm of compacted MOT Type 1. Then we set the kerbs in concrete and lay the blocks to proper falls. We’re about half an hour away in Higham Ferrers.
Areas we cover: Corby, Priors Hall Park, Weldon, Oakley Vale, Great Oakley, Stanion and Gretton
Where homes sit on restored quarry land, the ground under a drive can be loose. We dig until we hit firm ground, even if that’s deeper than usual, and price it clearly.
If your existing drive has dipped, we lift the blocks, rebuild the sub-base properly and re-lay them, often reusing the original blocks.
Newer homes sometimes need drives extending or widening. Check your deeds first, as estate rules can control front gardens.
Corby is covered by North Northamptonshire Council, which handles dropped kerbs. We’ll plan your drive around the crossing.
