No driveway specialist listed in Niddrie yet.

A driveway specialist lays new driveways and refurbishes existing ones - block paving, tarmac, resin-bound stone and concrete, including the sub-base and drainage that determine whether the surface lasts.

Front gardens of more than five square metres need planning permission unless the surface is permeable or drains to a soakaway, so check before laying impermeable materials.

Get the falls right - water should run off the driveway, not pool against the house - and ask for an SUDS-friendly approach if the area is prone to surface water.

Niddrie is a residential neighbourhood in south-east Edinburgh, bordering Craigmillar and close to the boundary with East Lothian.

The area was developed primarily in the post-war period and has a large, established community with local shops, schools and community facilities.

Niddrie has benefited from regeneration investment, with new housing and improved amenities complementing the existing community infrastructure.

The neighbourhood is close to Fort Kinnaird retail park, the Royal Infirmary and has good bus connections to the city centre and Musselburgh.

Edinburgh is Scotland's capital city and one of the most recognisable cities in the world, built across a series of volcanic hills on the southern shore of the Firth of Forth.

The Old Town and New Town, together a UNESCO World Heritage Site, form the historic core - but the city stretches far beyond them, taking in dozens of distinct neighbourhoods, suburbs and villages absorbed over centuries of growth.

From the Georgian terraces of the New Town to the seaside promenade at Portobello, the leafy avenues of Morningside to the waterfront regeneration at Granton, each part of Edinburgh has its own character and community.

The city is a centre for finance, technology, higher education and the arts - the Edinburgh Festival Fringe is the largest arts festival in the world and the city's universities attract students and researchers from across the globe.

Edinburgh's transport network includes a tram line, an extensive bus system, two mainline railway stations and an international airport, connecting its neighbourhoods to each other and to the rest of Scotland and beyond.
