About Pinner
Pinner is in north-west London, in the London Borough of Harrow. The council is Harrow Council. The River Pinn runs through the middle of Pinner. To the north, the land rises steeply through Pinnerwood towards Pinner Hill.
We work in every part of Pinner, including:
1. The centre, around the High Street.
2. Pinner Green, to the north-west.
3. Pinnerwood, to the north.
4. Hatch End, to the north-east.
5. Rayners Lane, to the south.
All of these are in Harrow, London.
We also work in nearby Headstone, to the east, and North Harrow, to the south-east. Both are in Harrow. Eastcote, to the south-west, is in the London Borough of Hillingdon, so its council is Hillingdon Council.
What to think about in Pinner
1. Steep ground to the north. Around Pinnerwood and Pinner Hill, many drives slope. Sloping drives need careful levels, and sometimes steps or a retaining wall, so cars and people can get on and off easily.
2. Low ground by the Pinn. If your home is near the river, the ground may be damper. We check how your ground drains before planning the drainage.
3. Conservation areas. Pinner has several conservation areas, including Pinner High Street, Pinnerwood Park Estate, Pinner Hill Estate and Rayners Lane. Some have extra rules, called Article 4 directions, which can mean you need permission for work you could normally do without it. If your home is listed or in a conservation area, ask Harrow Council first. We'll help you check.

What affects the cost
Each Pinner job is priced after a free visit. These are the things that make the difference:
1. The size of the area.
2. The material and finish you choose.
3. How much digging there is, and how much spoil has to go.
4. The drainage needed.
5. Slopes, steps and walls.
6. Access for machinery and deliveries.
We put the quote in writing, and we never ask for a deposit.

Pinner questions
How does resin bound let rain through on a Pinner driveway?
Resin bound is porous. The stones are bound with resin but leave small gaps, so rain can soak through to the base instead of running off. We build a base underneath to suit your ground.
How do you deal with water running down a sloping Pinner drive?
On a new drive, we set the levels to send water away from the house. Where needed, we can fit a channel drain at the bottom of the slope. It links to a soakaway where the ground allows, or to a suitable outlet.
Do I need planning permission for a front driveway in Pinner?
You don't normally need permission if the new surface lets water soak through, or drains to a lawn or border. Covering more than 5 square metres with a solid surface that drains nowhere else usually does. Flats, listed homes and conservation areas may have extra rules, so check with Harrow Council.
How do I look after a porcelain patio in Pinner?
Sweep it, rinse off spills and wash it gently now and then. Most porcelain doesn't need sealing.
