A regional driveway installer with a genuine local base
Built 2 Last is a Stourbridge-based, family-run driveway and paving business that operates as a genuine regional installer across the West Midlands. That distinction matters. We're not a franchise selling a brand into other people's vans, and we're not a national call centre quoting from Google Earth. Our yard is on 3 The Mill, Stuart Works, Wollaston — a real address, in a real town, that you can drive to. Every quote, every install, every follow-up call is handled by the same six-person in-house crew.
Regional coverage across the whole West Midlands
From that Stourbridge base we cover the full West Midlands region: Birmingham (every B postcode from Edgbaston and Harborne through to Sutton Coldfield and the Quinton border), Wolverhampton and the WV catchment out to Wombourne and Codsall, the Dudley borough (Sedgley, Netherton, Gornal and Upper Gornal), the Walsall borough (Aldridge, Streetly, Little Aston, Pelsall, Brownhills), the local DY catchments around our Stourbridge yard (Halesowen, Kingswinford, Brierley Hill, Kinver and Hagley), and out into the Worcestershire fringes at Bromsgrove, Droitwich and Kidderminster. Same crew, same guarantee, same standard whatever the postcode.
Regional consistency in specification and materials
The West Midlands is one of the most varied property regions in the country, and the material choice has to fit the house. We specify Marshalls, Brett, Bradstone and Tobermore block paving ranges, VUBA UV-stable resin bound systems, 20mm vitrified porcelain paving, machine-laid tarmac, resin-bonded and self-binding gravel, natural stone setts and riven sandstone. Every regional job starts with a proper site visit, a levels survey and a written itemised quote — no per-square-metre bait pricing over the phone, no product being pushed regardless of the property style.
The invisible half of a driveway that lasts
Ground conditions vary enormously across the West Midlands — Mercia Mudstone clay pockets across south Birmingham, Bromsgrove and Wolverhampton; Bunter Sandstone and Coal Measures under Stourbridge, Dudley, Halesowen and Kidderminster. Regardless of postcode, every driveway we install starts with full excavation to depth, MOT Type 1 compacted in layers with a plate or roller, and geotextile separation membrane where the ground demands it. The sub-base is the invisible half of the job that decides whether the surface still looks right in ten years — cut corners here and it doesn't matter what you put on top.
