EXCELLENT Based on 8 reviews Posted on Tracy Davis8 October 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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 :-)Posted on 林皮2 June 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This is a great team. It's great. It's very close to this Chinese takeaway. This Chinese takeaway is great and has discounts.Posted on Andy watson29 February 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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.Posted on J Castro3 May 2023Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Outstanding company. Highly recommended.

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.Posted on John Everest25 August 2022Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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.Posted on Alex Wheeler23 May 2022Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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! 😊Posted on Tracy Bryant9 July 2020Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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.

Why Choose Hot Bitumen for Your Driveway?
Hot bitumen driveways are known for their durability, versatility, and cost-effectiveness. This surface is perfect for homeowners who want a solid, attractive driveway without breaking the bank.

- Long Life & Value for Money – Bitumen is incredibly durable, offering years of use with minimal maintenance.
- Customisable Design – Choose from a variety of gravel colours and sizes to match your property’s style.
- Quick Transformation – The application process provides an instant makeover, creating a fresh, clean look for your driveway.
- Cost-Effective – Hot bitumen can be laid over an existing base, reducing the need for costly excavation and ground preparation.

Our Process
Here’s how we lay your hot bitumen driveway from start to finish:
- We ensure the existing base is level and ready for the bitumen and gravel mix.
- The bitumen is then heated and mixed with gravel, then applied evenly to the surface.
- A heavy-duty roller is used to consolidate the surface, ensuring a smooth, solid finish.
- Lastly, any necessary edging or detailing is completed to enhance the overall appearance of your driveway.
Because asphalt is flexible, it adapts well to different driveway shapes and gradients, making it suitable for everything from compact town houses to large rural properties.
