Luke and his team have transformed our old tarmac driveway , which had collapsed in places, and mossy bit of lawn, into a spacious new gravel driveway ‘the beach!’ We are extremely pleased with the end result. Luke and his team were so professional, hard working and easy to deal with. We wouldn’t hesitate in using again and recommending. The team took great care with all the detailed work such as the kerbing and retaining wall to give a great finish. Communication was great from the initial contact and throughout the works. We were kept up-to-date with progress and consulted with on particular issues. The team had quite a bit of ‘weather’ to contend with too, some of which was pretty extreme even by Crowborough standards! Thanks very much guys for all your hard work 🙂

This is a great team. It’s great. It’s very close to this Chinese takeaway. This Chinese takeaway is great and has discounts.

Luke and his team have transformed our garden and driveway. They work so hard, in difficult conditions over the winter months, to get the job done. The quality of their workmanship is second to none. Luke and his team are reliable and very trustworthy. Our project involved removing tonnes of soil from the garden and drive, building a retaining wall, laying an Indian sandstone patio, fitting a new garden gate and laying a resin driveway. We have no hesitation in recommending them.

I cannot recommend Stanbridge surfacing enough. From quote to finish highly professional, friendly service. I got my quote on Wednesday, work began on Thursday and by the following Tuesday all work was completed by 9.30am! If it wasn’t bank holiday Monday I should imagine they would have completed it in 3 days. Incredible team everyone who came to my property was so hardworking, respectful and very tidy I was impressed at how quickly the work was finished. Fortunately for me one of their big jobs was waterlogged so they managed to squeeze me in whilst waiting for it to dry out. Every evening luke messaged me letting me know what time to expect them in the morning which was most helpful. I honestly cannot find any faults at all they were so considerate to my neighbours moving the vans and lorries if people couldn’t get past. Thank you so much once again I will always recommend yourselves and use you for any future works.

We had a driveway installed by Luke and his team earlier in the summer, communication from the point of contact to quotation through to completion was always excellent. We are really happy with the finished product and Luke’s team worked hard in the stifling heat to keep project on track with minimal mess and disruption to neighbour’s. We would highly recommend their workmanship and approach.

We had luke come round several times to give us options on our drive way. He was very informative, helpful, gave us loads of options and not pushy at all. His chaps were all very kind, approachable, attentive and friendly. Especially to my forever chatting 4 year old who watched them constantly. The end product is brilliant, they did a great job and we’re very happy. Thanks guys! ????

Having recently used the Stanbridge team to resurface a drive and re-align a path, I could not recommend them more highly. Initial quote was accurate and consistent, and the work was completed in less than 2 days. The team were keen to communicate to iron out minor queries; they worked hard and quickly and took great care to clean up the site as they went along. We are delighted with the result; great value for money, and we would certainly use them for any future work.

Driveway Surfaces for East Sussex Homes

Every property has different access, drainage and day-to-day requirements, so we offer a choice of driveway surfaces for homes across East Sussex. Resin bound driveways provide a smooth, modern finish, while tarmac and asphalt are practical choices for larger areas, busy households and shared access drives. Block paving offers a more decorative design with options for borders and patterns, while hot bitumen and gravel suits rural properties and longer private drives.

During your free site survey, we will assess the existing ground, levels and drainage before recommending the most suitable driveway surface for your property. We can also explain whether resurfacing is appropriate or whether a completely new driveway will provide the best long-term result.

Other driveway options

Every property is different, so in addition to asphalt and resin we also offer a range of other Kent driveways and East Sussex driveway solutions:

  • Block paving driveways – Classic, premium look with endless patterns and colour choices. Individual blocks can be lifted and replaced if damaged.

  • Gravel driveways – Traditional appearance and excellent for security, with the reassuring sound of vehicles and visitors arriving.

  • Concrete driveways – Hard‑wearing and practical for heavy vehicles and commercial premises.

If you are unsure which surface will work best, we are happy to talk through the options, show you examples of our previous work and recommend the most suitable driveway for your property.
