Is block paving a good choice for Hemel Hempstead driveways?

Yes — it suits the wide post-war frontages typical in the area and there is strong local supplier coverage, which keeps comparison pricing competitive.

Do I need a new crossover in Hemel Hempstead?

Only if the kerb is not already dropped. If you are replacing an existing driveway, a new crossover is usually not required.

How long does a resin driveway last?

15–25 years with a correctly prepared base. Lifespan depends heavily on sub-base quality.

Is resin slippery in wet weather?

Properly installed resin with the right aggregate size has good slip resistance even when wet.

Can it be installed over existing concrete or tarmac?

Sometimes, if the existing surface is structurally sound and level. A proper survey is needed before deciding.

Local property patterns

Largely post-war housing stock with wide frontages and accessible plots.
Block paving is one of the most common finishes in the area, with strong supplier choice.
Most projects are full or partial driveway replacement rather than constrained inner-city work.

Things worth checking locally

Wide roads and good property access make most jobs straightforward from a logistics standpoint.
Drainage falls are usually predictable, but verify before assuming a like-for-like surface replacement.
Crossover work runs through Hertfordshire County Council — generally a 4–6 week lead time.

Things to compare carefully

Base quality is critical — resin applied to an unstable sub-base will fail quickly.
UV-stable resins prevent yellowing, but product quality varies significantly.
Drainage is typically SuDS-compliant, which avoids planning requirements for most front gardens.
Repairs to a damaged resin surface are visible — full sections are harder to patch invisibly.
Installation temperature and weather conditions directly affect cure quality.
