LOCAL PROJECT

A Recent Driveway Job

M&C Paving installed this block paved driveway 28 years ago. When the customer called to ask about updating to resin, we were glad to help. You can see from the picture, other than needing a bit of a clean, this driveway was still going strong 28 years after we installed it. No sinking or any other issues.

We installed the new resin driveway with a warm buff aggregate blend resin bound surface to complement the brick frontage. Completed in two days.

Jim installed our drive 28 years ago and we were very happy to hear he is still in business. He was the obvious choice to update our drive to resin.

PEACE OF MIND

10-Year M&C Guarantee

The biggest issue we have seen with driveways is when they give a low price and take shortcuts below the surface. At handover, the driveway looks okay, but a year in of parking the cars on there, it has started to sink. You reach out to the people that installed it and either moved on, out of business, or no accountability.


With M&C, we have been installing driveways in the Thame area for around 30 years and they are still going strong to this day. 


With an M&C Driveway, you can relax knowing that we will guarantee your new driveway against sinking and drainage issues for 10 years!

Five black stars in a row on a white background

Had a gravel driveway installed and I’m really impressed with the result. The team were professional, hardworking, and finished everything within a day. The staff were friendly and easy to deal with, making the whole process stress-free. The gravel driveway looks fantastic — neat, with a great attention to detail, they built a nice brick and concrete border around it! better than I expected. Many thanks! Highly recommend!

Common Questions from Thame Homeowners about Driveways

  • Do I need planning permission for a new driveway in Thame?

    In most cases, no. Permeable surfaces — including resin bound and most modern block paving systems — generally don't require planning permission for residential front driveways. We'll advise specifically at the quoting stage.

  • How long does installation take?

    Most driveways are completed within two to four days depending on size and surface type. We'll give you a realistic timescale when we quote.

  • When is the best time to book?

    Spring and summer are our busiest periods. If you're planning a new driveway for the warmer months, it's worth getting your enquiry in early — we tend to book up from April onwards.

  • How much does a new driveway cost in Thame?

    Every job is different. Size, ground conditions, surface type, and access all affect the price. James will visit and give you a proper written quote. Read our driveway cost guide for a general framework.

  • Do you offer a guarantee?

    Yes — every installation is backed by a 5-year written workmanship guarantee.
