Resin, tarmac, repairs and the drainage under them. Tell us the size of the drive and where the water sits. A local driveway contractor comes out, measures up and quotes.
Get your drive priced
A driveway contractor who works your part of Sligo replies and books a time to see it.
Thanks, that's with us.
Thanks, your details are in. A local provider will look over them and contact you the way you asked.
How it works
Measure it roughly. Photograph it after rain. Send the form. The contractor takes it from the site visit.
Pace it out
Rough length and width is fine. Note the entrance width if a mixer or lorry has to get in.
Wait for rain
Photograph where water lies and which way it runs. That tells the contractor more than anything.
Send the form
Town, size, photos, and resin, tarmac or blocks if you have a view. A contractor gets in touch to come and look.
Driveway jobs in Sligo
Five jobs. Most Sligo drives need one, some need two. Drainage usually comes first.
Resin bound driveways
Permeable resin on an open base. The surface that copes best with Sligo rain, if the base is right.
Read moreTarmac driveways
The cheaper surface for a long drive. It sheds water, so it needs a fall and somewhere for the water to go.
Read moreDriveway resurfacing and repair
Cracked or sunken? Whether to patch or start again depends on the ground underneath.
Read moreBlock paving and driveway edging
Often it's the edge, not the whole drive. A channel or kerb that keeps rain off the doorstep.
Read moreSite preparation and drainage
Fall, base depth and where the rain goes. Sort this before choosing a surface.
Read moreDriveway questions from Sligo
Is resin or tarmac better for a driveway in Sligo?
Resin bound on an open base copes better with standing water. Tarmac is cheaper on long or wide drives. Fall, traffic and budget decide it, so ask the contractor to explain their pick for your drive.
How much does a resin driveway cost in Sligo?
Published Irish guides give a wide per-square-metre range, mainly depending on whether the old surface is dug out. Your ground, access and edging decide the real figure. The contractor who calls out confirms it.
Can a cracked tarmac driveway be resurfaced?
Yes, if the base is firm. If your heel sinks or the cracks form a net, the base has moved and a new top will crack again.
Do I need planning permission for a new driveway in Sligo?
Often not, if it is permeable or drains to your garden. Large areas, protected structures and water running onto the road can change that. Check with Sligo County Council.
Why do driveways in Sligo crack so fast?
Rain gets into a crack, freezes and widens it. On a thin or sealed base the water has nowhere to go. Base depth and fall stop it, not the surface colour.
