Road Surfacing: Private Roads & Access Routes

Lakeside Surfacing installs and resurfaces private roads, estate access routes and unadopted highways across the UK. Every road we deliver is built with the correct sub-base depth for expected traffic, proper falls and drainage detailing, and a binder/wearing course specified to BS 594987. Below: the road surfacing types we work with, when resurfacing makes more sense than reconstruction, and how we manage traffic during the works.

Absolutely brilliant service from start to finish. The team did an outstanding job on my driveway and the final result looks fantastic. They were professional, reliable, and worked efficiently while keeping everything tidy. The quality of the workmanship is top-class and they took the time to explain everything clearly before starting. I couldn’t be happier with how it’s turned out and have already had compliments from neighbours. I would highly recommend this surfacing company to anyone looking for a high-quality driveway.

We are absolutely delighted with the resin bound driveway laid by Lakeside Surfacing Ltd at our property in Sudbury, Suffolk. From start to finish, the service was professional, efficient, and friendly. David, the owner, was a pleasure to deal with from the outset. He was knowledgeable, approachable, and kept us well informed throughout the entire process. The team were punctual, hardworking, and clearly very skilled at what they do. They took great care with preparation, kept the site tidy throughout, and the quality of the finished driveway is outstanding. The resin surface looks fantastic, has completely transformed the front of our property, and has already received lots of compliments. Everything was completed on time and exactly as agreed, which made the whole experience stress-free. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Lakeside Surfacing Ltd to anyone considering a resin bound driveway or surfacing work. A first-class job from David and his team.
