Team, start to finish
We’ve been fitting driveways across Monmouthshire for more than 35 years, and Caldicot throws up a problem a lot of driveway companies don’t think about until it’s too late: the ground here is flat and low-lying, sitting on the Caldicot and Wentloog Levels, and it does not drain the way ground does further up the valley.
We’ve fitted driveways for families on the newer estates off Newport Road and for homeowners in the older streets nearer the castle, and the brief is always the same underneath the surface choice: get the base and the drainage right first, then make it look good. A driveway that looks smart for six months and then puddles every time it rains isn’t a driveway, it’s an expensive mistake, and we’ve been called out to fix enough of those from other companies’ work to know exactly what causes it.
We’re not a national chain with a page for every postcode in the country. We’re local, we’re small enough that the same crew turns up on your job from quote to finish, and we’ve fitted or fixed driveways, and fencing, across this exact corner of Monmouthshire for long enough to know which streets need extra thought before we even arrive.
Why Caldicot homeowners choose Classic Paving
We build for the ground, not just the surface
Caldicot’s low-lying position means proper compaction and drainage underneath before anything else is considered. We prepare the base for this ground specifically, not a generic spec used everywhere.
Permeable paving done properly, when it's needed
A new impermeable driveway over 5 square metres at the front of your home needs planning permission unless it drains to a permeable surface. We build to this standard as standard where it applies.
35+ years working this exact area
Long enough to have fitted, and in some cases fixed, driveways across Caldicot and the wider Monmouthshire Levels. We know the ground because we’ve dug into it for decades.
One crew, start to finish
No subcontracted labour brought in for the big jobs and swapped out. The people who quote your job are the people who build it.
Fencing and gates from the same team
Most Caldicot driveway jobs come with a boundary or gate question attached. We handle both without bringing in a second contractor.
Straightforward communication
A phone call or a WhatsApp message gets a real answer from a real person, not a call centre reading from a script.
What a proper driveway rebuild actually looks like
Cracked, puddled driveways don’t need patching. They need the ground and drainage underneath done properly. Here’s the difference.

After

- Proper edging and drainage installed before a single paving block or slab goes down
- Your choice of block paving, resin bound surfacing, or another permeable option, laid to a proper edge and finish

Frequently asked questions
Do I need permeable paving for a new driveway in Caldicot?
If you’re paving over more than 5 square metres at the front of your home with a non-porous surface like standard block paving or tarmac, you need planning permission unless the water drains to a permeable area like a lawn or border, or you use a permeable material such as porous block paving, resin bound surfacing, or gravel. Given how low-lying Caldicot is, we build to this standard as a matter of course on most front driveway jobs, so you’re covered either way.
How much does a new driveway cost in Caldicot?
Every driveway is priced individually because the groundwork this area needs varies so much street to street. We’ll give you a clear, fixed, itemised quote after a free site visit, so you know exactly what you’re paying for and there are no surprises once we start.
How long does a driveway installation take?
Most domestic driveways in Caldicot take between 3 and 7 days depending on size and how much groundwork and drainage the site needs. We’ll give you a realistic timeframe as part of your quote.
Will my new driveway actually drain properly?
This is the question we get asked most in Caldicot, and it’s the right one to ask. We build proper falls and drainage into the sub-base before any surface goes down, and we’ll talk you through exactly how water moves off your specific driveway before we start.
What's the difference between block paving and resin driveways?
Block paving gives a classic look with individual units and is very durable. Resin bound surfacing is smooth, low maintenance, and naturally permeable, which makes it a strong option on ground like this. We’ll talk through both honestly based on your budget and your site rather than pushing whichever we’d rather sell.
Can you also do our fencing while you're here?
Yes. A lot of our Caldicot driveway jobs come with a fencing or gate job attached, and we quote both together so you’re not paying for two separate site visits and two separate teams.
How far in advance should I book?
We take on a limited number of driveway jobs each month to make sure every one gets proper attention, and the busier spring and summer months fill up first. Getting your free quote booked in early is the best way to secure the date you want.

Yes, we work right across this part of Monmouthshire including Portskewett, Rogiet, Undy, Caerwent, Crick and Shirenewton, as well as our home patch around Monmouth and Usk.
