In short
Block paving in Bedford, answered.
Yes, Terry lays block paving drives in Bedford, the edge of our area about 30 minutes from Milton Keynes. The 1930s semis and the 1960s to 80s estate houses with a single concrete drive are the fronts that gain most from a two-car block drive with a border.
Bedford (MK40 to MK43) is about 30 minutes' drive from central Milton Keynes. All about Bedford: the parts we cover, the council and the other rules.
Local knowledge
What is different about block paving in Bedford.
Across Brickhill, Putnoe and Goldington, the 1930s semis and the post-war estate houses were built with one concrete drive and a patch of lawn. Replacing both with a two-car block drive and a contrasting border takes the second car off the road.
No town we cover has a wider mix of houses. The Victorian terraces and villas of Castle, De Parys and Queens Park have tiny fronts and rely on permit parking, while Great Denham and Wixams are modern estates with short block drives.
Besides the historic core and the Embankment, Bedford has 28 more conservation areas, many of them villages such as Biddenham, Elstow and Kempston, where a new front should match its neighbours.
Streets near the town centre and station sit in controlled parking zones, so the skip permit and somewhere for the van are arranged before the job starts.
Block paving in Bedford: questions people ask.
Can you build the dropped kerb as well in Bedford?
No one but the council can. Bedford Borough charges for a site visit and estimate, wants the parking area to be at least 6m deep by 3.6m wide, and needs planning permission on a main (A, B or C) road. Terry builds the drive to those rules and helps with the application.
What about my gravel front?
Bedford Borough wants 5m of solid surface from the boundary before any gravel starts, and no water draining across the pavement. A block drive meets both without argument.
Do you come as far as Bedford for a drive?
Yes. It is the furthest town we cover, and the visit and written quote are free, exactly as in Milton Keynes.
The build and the price
The same standard in every town.
The layers, the written quote and the guarantee do not change from town to town, so they live on one page.

“Just had an old, tired and worn out path replaced with resin bound gravel. It is fair to say that it has transformed the whole area. Terry was easy to deal with, and was very prompt in supplying a competitive quote, as well as organising and completing the work quickly. After preparing the area he…”
