Driveway & Frontage
We look at your front elevation in the listing photos: the driveway condition, the front door, the porch detail, the planting, the wall and the path. Then we redraw it three ways: a quick refresh, a full restyle and a kerb-appeal showpiece. Each option respects the era of your house, the side gate, what fits your slope and what your council actually approves for dropped kerbs and permeable surfaces on your street.
- I want my house to look its best when I sell
- I'm planning a driveway replacement
- I want to add an EV charger and rethink the front

Visualised on your property
Driveway, front door, render and planting; the whole street-side restyled for your house.
The estate agent took the photo from the path and you cringed. Cracked tarmac, a wheelie bin parked where the planting used to be, and a front door that hasn't been painted since the kids were small. You're thinking about an EV charger, you're thinking about a dropped kerb, and you've got a rough quote of £14,000 from a driveway company you don't trust yet. The Driveway & Frontage report restyles your house three ways, tells you what your council actually approves for dropped kerbs on your street, and places the EV charger cleanly on the elevation.
What you actually get
Six concrete things inside the report.
Not a generic guide. These are the specific deliverables we ship for your address, every single time.
Three frontage restyles, rendered onto your house
Refresh, full restyle and showpiece. Same brick, same windows, same gate; just the driveway, door, planting and path redrawn in each direction.
Dropped-kerb verdict for your address
Whether your highway authority is approving applications on roads like yours, and the typical conditions (permeable surface, sight lines, splay angles) that decide the outcome.
EV charging point placement
Where the unit sits cleanly on the elevation, how far it is from your consumer unit, and whether your DNO is likely to approve the load without an upgrade.
A planting palette for your aspect
Structured front-garden planting suited to your orientation and soil. Low maintenance, evergreen anchors, and the bits that actually still look good in February.
Honest cost ladder
From a £3k refresh of door, numerals and planting up to a £25k+ full porcelain or resin-bound driveway with new walls, lighting and an EV charger.
Kerb-appeal value uplift
A like-for-like uplift band based on comparable sales on your street, plus the harder-to-quantify "days on market" effect a strong frontage tends to produce.
Built from this data
Grounded in the actual evidence of your property.
Every recommendation in the report ties back to one of these data streams. No generic Wikipedia summaries; no postcode averages.
Your front elevation, read in detail
Door style and condition, window frames, brickwork and render, existing path materials, planting and the state of the boundary wall or fence.
Dropped-kerb decisions near you
Recent highway authority decisions within a few streets, decoded for the conditions your council tends to impose.
Comparable sold prices on your street
Used to calibrate the kerb-appeal uplift band; bigger effect in faster markets and on terraces where every house looks the same from the road.
What it looks like
A glimpse of the report itself.
The full report lands as a single scrollable page. Visualisations sit alongside the costs, planning verdicts and value uplift, so you can argue with it (or with your partner) in one place.
Visualisation for this property
Edwardian brick semi with a porcelain-tile driveway, black front door, brushed brass numerals and clipped box hedging.
The verdict (one sentence)
Driveway, front door, render and planting; the whole street-side restyled for your house.
Cost ladder
Likely value uplift
Typically +£5k to +£15k
Cost & value
What it costs. What it adds.
Honest bands tuned to UK pricing in the last 12 months, plus a value uplift range for homes in your bracket.
Paint or replace the door, brushed-brass numerals, repoint and seal the path, plant up the front beds, fix the lighting.
New driveway surface (permeable resin or block paving), new walls or railings, new planting, new lighting, refreshed door and porch.
Full porcelain or natural-stone driveway, bespoke walls and gates, structural planting, EV charger and motion lighting, restored period detail.
Kerb appeal is often a "days on market" win as much as a price win; a well-presented frontage tends to sell faster and survive its first round of viewings without a price drop.
The fine print, up front
What this report does not cover.
A clear list of what we leave out, so you never feel short-changed when you open it.
- A guaranteed dropped-kerb consent (we report on the likely outcome based on your council’s recent pattern; the application is a separate exercise)
- Structural retaining-wall calculations on sloped plots
- DNO approval for the EV charger load (your installer handles that once you pick one)
If we can't make this report outstanding for your address, you don't pay.
If we can't find the photos, planning history or constraints we need to make this specific report genuinely useful for your house, we refund the full price before generating a single word. Same goes if you read it and it just doesn't deliver.
