Looking for a driveway that suits Stamford's stone character? You have found a local specialist. Paddway Surfacing Solutions lays block paving, imprinted concrete, resin bound and tarmac driveways for homes and businesses across Stamford and the surrounding villages, a straight run down the A1 from a Retford base. Jamie Robinson has spent 17 years in the trade, and every surface he lays is backed by a 3-year workmanship guarantee.
Stamford is one of the finest stone towns in England: Georgian frontages built from honey-coloured Lincolnshire limestone, five medieval churches, and the cobbled climbs of Barn Hill and St Mary's Hill. Much of the centre is a conservation area, and that changes what looks right underfoot. The wrong colour or pattern jars against pale stone; the right one, a block paving tone that answers the frontage or an imprinted concrete in a natural stone or cobble effect, lets a period property look exactly as it should.
Beyond the old town, Stamford spreads toward the Meadows and the newer estates along Empingham Road, Casterton Road and Ryhall Road, and out past Burghley Park, where detached homes have the room for a full tarmac or resin drive. Choosing a finish that suits the setting is where Jamie's eye earns its place, and it never comes at the expense of the build: every surface is laid to fall so water clears the Welland-side ground cleanly, and edges are finished with proper haunched kerbs so the line holds for years. Your vision, our perfection, matched to the property in front of us.
Whichever surface your Stamford property needs, there is a Paddway specialism to match it, for homes and commercial sites across the town and South Kesteven:
Driveways, paths, courtyards and commercial hardstanding, laid on a properly built base with solid kerbs so it holds its line for years.
Block PavingPattern imprinted concrete, also known as street print, moulded and coloured to resemble block paving or stone in one continuous, weed-free surface.
Imprinted Concrete DrivewaysSmooth, permeable resin bound surfacing in a range of stone blends, a premium finish that drains freely and stays weed-free.
Resin Bound DrivewaysTarmac driveways, forecourts and surfaces for homes and businesses, machine-laid and rolled for a smooth, hard-wearing finish.
TarmacingFull-depth resurfacing and repairs for retail and commercial car parks, laid to true falls and finished with crisp line marking.
Car Park ResurfacingPotholes and worn patches on drives and car parks cut out square and reinstated at full depth, so the repair lasts rather than lifting out next winter.
Pothole RepairBehind Paddway is 17 years of laying driveways, car parks and roads, and Jamie quotes and works every job himself, so you deal directly with the person responsible for the finish. That experience is backed by an NRSWA street works ticket, £1 million of public liability insurance and a blue CSCS card. In a conservation town, the honest, expert judgement of which finish genuinely suits your frontage is as valuable as the workmanship itself: Jamie talks it through, then sets it out in a clear written quote before any work starts, with no pressure and no obligation. Every finished surface carries a 3-year workmanship guarantee. From a period frontage in the old town to a drive on the edge estates, the finish is always chosen to suit the property.

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.
