Structure First. Surface Second.
Hinchliffe Surfacing Ltd is based in Sandbach and builds driveways and surfaces across Cheshire. We start with what's underneath, because that's what decides how long the surface lasts.
Meet Dan
The person you'll deal with
I'm Dan Hinchliffe, founder and Managing Director of Hinchliffe Surfacing. I'm based in Sandbach, where I live with my wife Beth and our son Parker.
I started Hinchliffe with a clear idea of how I wanted to work: assess the site carefully, explain the options honestly and give customers a detailed proposal they can understand.
For me, a driveway starts with what's underneath it. The existing ground, drainage, levels and expected use all influence the construction. The finish matters, but so does the preparation you won't see once the work is complete.
You'll deal directly with me when we discuss your project. I'll explain what I recommend and why, including any limitations we need to address before work begins.
What makes me proud is seeing a completed installation and hearing that the customer valued the whole experience — the advice, the communication and the care taken with their property.
My name is on the business. I want the work and the way we treat people to earn that name a recommendation.
