    Modernising Broomhouse's 1950s Driveways

    Broomhouse is a well-established residential area in west Edinburgh, built primarily in the 1950s with solid family homes along Broomhouse Road, Broomhouse Crescent, and surrounding streets. Many properties retain their original concrete or gravel driveways, which after 70+ years are showing significant wear and deterioration.

    We specialise in transforming these tired driveways into modern, attractive surfaces. Our process begins with complete excavation of the old material, followed by installation of a properly compacted Type 1 sub-base to MOT specification. We then lay your chosen surface — whether that's smart charcoal monoblock, traditional block paving, or practical tarmac.

    The transformation is remarkable. Properties that once had cracked, weedy concrete are given a complete facelift with a driveway that looks stunning and performs for decades. Every installation includes our lifetime structural guarantee, giving Broomhouse homeowners complete peace of mind.
