Looking for a tarmac or block paving driveway in Newark? You have found a local specialist. Paddway Surfacing Solutions lays tarmac, block paving and resin bound driveways for homes and businesses across Newark-on-Trent and the surrounding villages, a short 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.
Newark stands where the A1 crosses the A46 Fosse Way and the River Trent, and its properties span centuries. Around the cobbled Market Place and Castlegate you have Georgian townhouses and a conservation-area setting, where a driveway has to be laid sympathetically to the frontage. Out at Balderton, Coddington and the large Fernwood estate the homes are modern, with the space for a full tarmac or resin drive, while the older terraces off Barnby Gate and Lincoln Road suit neat block paving.
Being a junction town brings demands of its own. The trade estates off Northern Road and Brunel Drive carry heavy through-traffic, and a car park or yard laid without the right sub-base soon ruts and cracks under it. Jamie surveys what each setting genuinely needs, whether that is a hard-wearing commercial build engineered for load or a residential drive set to fall so water clears the house cleanly, then edges block paving with haunched kerbs that hold their line for years. From the streets near Newark Castle to the newest homes at Fernwood, the surface is matched to the property and the ground beneath it, never to a single template.
Whichever surface your Newark property needs, there is a Paddway specialism to match it, for homes and commercial sites across the town and the surrounding villages:
Tarmac driveways, forecourts and surfaces for homes and businesses, machine-laid and rolled for a smooth, hard-wearing finish.
TarmacingDriveways, paths, courtyards and commercial hardstanding, laid on a properly built base with solid kerbs so it holds its line for years.
Block PavingSmooth, 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 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 carries out every job himself, so you deal directly with the person accountable for the finish. That experience is underwritten by £1 million of public liability insurance, a blue CSCS card and an NRSWA street works ticket. In a town where the settings run from a conservation frontage to a busy trade estate, Jamie's honest, expert read of what each job actually needs is what keeps the finish right, and he sets it out in a clear written quote before any work starts, with no pressure and no obligation. Every surface he completes carries a 3-year workmanship guarantee, from a single tarmac drive at Balderton to a full resurface off Northern Road.

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.
