Looking for a driveway or block paving in Grantham? You have found a local specialist. Paddway Surfacing Solutions lays block paving, tarmac and resin bound driveways for homes and businesses across Grantham and the South Kesteven villages, running straight 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.
Grantham has grown up either side of the A1 and the East Coast Main Line, and its properties are just as varied. Victorian and Edwardian terraces line the streets below St Wulfram's spire, interwar semis fill Harrowby and Spittlegate, and large modern estates spread out at Poplar Farm, Barrowby Gate and Great Gonerby. A period terrace near the centre wants tidy block paving with the right kerb detail, while a newer detached home toward Manthorpe or Londonthorpe has the room for a sweeping tarmac or resin driveway.
What sets Grantham apart is the traffic it carries. Sitting on the A1 and the A52, with the business parks at Alma Park and Springfield Road, the town puts real, daily load on its car parks and yards, and a surface that was never built for that will rut and break up within a season or two. Jamie engineers commercial surfaces to take the weight, digging out to a firm base and specifying the right depth of construction, and he lays every residential drive to fall so water runs off cleanly rather than sitting against the house. From the conservation streets around the Angel and Royal to the estates on the edge of town, the surface is always matched to the property and the ground it sits on.
Whichever surface your Grantham 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 PavingTarmac driveways, forecourts and surfaces for homes and businesses, machine-laid and rolled for a smooth, hard-wearing finish.
TarmacingSmooth, permeable resin bound surfacing in a range of stone blends, a premium finish that drains freely and stays weed-free.
Resin Bound DrivewaysPattern imprinted concrete, also known as street print, moulded and coloured to resemble block paving or stone in one continuous, weed-free surface.
Imprinted Concrete DrivewaysFull-depth resurfacing and repairs for retail and commercial car parks, laid to true falls and finished with crisp line marking.
Car Park ResurfacingPrivate roads, estate roads, farm tracks and unadopted roads surfaced and resurfaced.
Road SurfacingBehind Paddway is 17 years of laying driveways, car parks and roads, and because Jamie quotes and works every job himself, you deal directly with the person answerable for the result. That hands-on experience is backed by an NRSWA street works ticket, a blue CSCS card and £1 million of public liability insurance. On a corridor town like Grantham, where a car park off the A1 takes daily punishment, that counts: Jamie gives you an honest, expert assessment of the build the ground and the traffic actually demand, then confirms it in a clear written quote before any work starts, with no pressure and no obligation. Every finished surface carries a 3-year workmanship guarantee, whether it is a single drive below St Wulfram's or a full commercial resurface on Alma Park.

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.
