Frequently Asked Questions – Concrete & Paved Driveways in Belfast
How much does a concrete driveway cost in Belfast?
The cost of a concrete driveway in Belfast depends on several factors, including the size of the driveway, ground preparation required, access to the site and the type of finish chosen. As a rough guide, most residential concrete driveways fall within a mid-range budget compared to other driveway options. The best way to get an accurate price is to request a free on-site quote.
What is the difference between a concrete driveway and a paved driveway?
Concrete driveways are poured as a single solid surface, offering excellent strength, durability and low maintenance. Paved driveways use individual blocks or slabs laid over a prepared base, giving more flexibility in design and easier access for future repairs. Both options are popular in Belfast, and the best choice depends on your budget, style preference and usage.
How long does a concrete driveway take to install?
Most concrete driveways in Belfast can be completed within 2–4 days, depending on size and ground conditions. This includes excavation, base preparation, pouring and finishing. After installation, the concrete needs time to cure before vehicles can be parked on it, usually around 5–7 days.
How long should I wait before driving on a new concrete driveway?
While concrete begins to set within 24–48 hours, it’s recommended to wait at least 5–7 days before driving on a new driveway. Full curing continues over several weeks, which helps ensure maximum strength and durability.
Are concrete driveways suitable for Belfast weather?
Yes. Concrete driveways are well suited to Belfast’s wet and changeable climate when installed correctly. Proper drainage, correct depth and quality materials help prevent cracking, standing water and long-term wear.
Do concrete driveways require much maintenance?
Concrete driveways are low maintenance compared to gravel or block paving. Occasional cleaning and keeping the surface free of debris is usually sufficient. Some homeowners choose to apply a sealant for added protection, but it’s not always necessary.
Can you replace an existing driveway with concrete?
Yes. Old driveways made from gravel, tarmac or damaged concrete can usually be removed and replaced with a new concrete or paved driveway. Ground preparation is key to ensuring a long-lasting result.
Do I need planning permission for a driveway in Belfast?
In most cases, planning permission is not required for a driveway, provided proper drainage is in place. However, rules can vary depending on location and surface type. Your contractor can advise if any permissions are needed.
Are concrete driveways suitable for heavy vehicles?
Concrete driveways are strong enough to handle cars, vans and light commercial vehicles when installed to the correct depth and specification. If heavier vehicles are expected, this can be factored into the design.
