About the company
In the 1990's it became apparent that there was a growing market for the some form of treatment to help stop block paving becoming dirty, faded and weed infested, and so the idea of putting a protective resin coating on paving was born.
However due to the flexible nature of block paving, and the different porosities of other hard paving, there was never going to be one protective resin coating that suited all surfaces. Over many years the technical department of Betacoat tried and tested various compositions of resin until they established a unique range of protective coatings.
Once the products had been developed it was time to launch the service into the market place and so in 2002 the Drive Doctor was established to provide a service far superior to driveway cleaning using the unique range of sealants developed, and supplied exclusively to the Drive Doctor, by Betacoat.
After 18 months of testing the marketplace the Drive Doctor was accepted as a provisional member of the British Franchise Association and launched the first national franchise of its kind in December 2003.
In January 2005 the company changed its trading name to The Driveway Doctor after a survey of its customers.
Now the Driveway Doctor has 20 franchisees trading across the UK in a market place which has a potential 5 million customers.
