Durable Driveways & Access Roads in Herefordshire

A driveway or access road that isn’t built properly starts costing you within a year or two – potholes forming, edges breaking up, water pooling where it shouldn’t. BJB Contractors Ltd builds them across Hereford, Herefordshire and Shropshire for farms, developers, landowners and commercial sites, putting 20 years of groundworks experience into surfaces that are built to last, not just built to look good on day one. We regularly rebuild driveways and access tracks that were laid without proper drainage or sub-base, where water gets trapped underneath, freezes and thaws through winter, and the whole surface breaks up from below within a couple of years.

Getting The Groundwork Right

We handle excavation, drainage, sub-base preparation and surfacing for driveways and access roads, including agricultural tracks that need to cope with heavy vehicles and machinery day in, day out, often in all weathers. Our NRSWA-accredited, fully insured team makes sure drainage and preparation are correct before the surface goes down, which is what makes the real difference long-term – a poorly compacted sub-base will fail no matter how good the surface layer looks when it’s first laid. For agricultural access roads in particular, we design the sub-base and drainage around the actual vehicles using it – occasional car traffic is a very different job to a track that takes a loaded livestock trailer several times a day.

Built To Take The Weight

Cutting corners on an access road or driveway just means paying for it again in a few years, often at greater expense than doing it properly the first time. We work with commercial and domestic clients across the region who’d rather invest once and not think about it again. We can also advise on surfacing options, from compacted stone to tarmac or block paving, depending on your budget and how the driveway or access road will actually be used day to day. We can also give a rough idea of likely lifespan for different surfacing options, so you can weigh up cost against how long it needs to last, and we’re happy to recommend a surface that suits your budget as well as your usage.
