I can't recommend Paddway Surfacing Solutions enough. Jamie was so easy to deal with, from the first consultation and listened to what we wanted. We had a tarmac driveway laid with a grey block paving border. The price was so reasonable and the job was well executed. Really pleased with the work.

Expert Driveways & Surfacing in Retford & Across Nottinghamshire
Driveway and surfacing contractors laying driveways, car parks and roads across Nottinghamshire, Lincolnshire and South Yorkshire from our base in Retford. Every job is planned, quoted and worked by Jamie Robinson himself, with 17 years in the trade behind it and a 3-year workmanship guarantee.
Surfacing You Can Trust, Guaranteed for Three Years
A new driveway or car park is a serious investment, and not something you buy often, so the hard part is knowing who will get the groundwork right and leave you with a surface that still looks the part in ten years. It is a fair worry: cut corners on the sub-base or the falls and you get ponding, cracking and weeds within a couple of winters, whatever the finish looked like on day one.
This is where Paddway earns its name. Across 17 years laying tarmac, block paving, resin and concrete for homeowners, developers, farms and businesses, Jamie has learned to get the ground beneath the surface right first: excavated to the correct depth, a properly built sub-base, and the surface laid to true falls. You get a free site survey and a clear written quote with nothing hidden, all backed by a 3-year workmanship guarantee.

Surfacing Built for East Midlands Ground, by a Local Contractor
The ground across the East Midlands is not one thing: heavy clay that heaves and holds water, old made-up ground, lighter sandy soils out towards the Trent. Each one calls for a different depth of dig and a different sub-base, and a surface that sits fine on one can fail on another within a couple of winters. Reading the ground correctly before a spade goes in is exactly what long experience buys you.
Based in Retford, Jamie has spent 17 years on driveways, car parks and roads across Nottinghamshire, Lincolnshire and South Yorkshire, from tarmac drives on country houses to block-paved cul-de-sacs and commercial resurfacing. He knows the towns, the routes and the ground because they are the same ones he works across every week, and he quotes every job, works it, and puts his name to the finish.
