Response within 24 hours
Battersea homeowners want paving that looks sharp and performs year-round. Whether you’re near Battersea Park or the redeveloped Battersea Power Station, we create block paving that complements the streetscape and handles daily use. Choose from driveway block paving, patio block paving or pathway paving with decorative borders and pattern designs. We also coordinate dropped kerbs where access needs upgrading.
The area’s mix of Victorian terraces, mansion blocks and luxury new builds calls for tailored detailing. In Nine Elms and around Clapham Junction, we often work with tight front gardens, shared access and limited storage space. Our layouts consider bin routes, pram-friendly paths and practical turning space where possible. The result is paving that fits the property, not a one-size template.
We start with a site visit, levels check and a clear written specification, then excavate to the correct depth with a robust sub-base. Edging restraints, falls and drainage are set before laying and compacting the blocks for a stable finish. We keep the site tidy, communicate daily, and only sign off once joints, cuts and thresholds are right. Local homeowners choose us for workmanship you can see and a process you can trust.
Access and parking can be challenging around SW11 and SW8, so we plan deliveries and waste removal carefully. Many front gardens have boundary walls, basement lightwells or services that affect levels, so we survey before excavation. We also consider Wandsworth requirements for driveway drainage and crossover works. If you need a permeable solution, we can design it from the outset to suit the plot.

For Battersea projects, block paving typically ranges from £80–£120 per square metre, depending on block type, edging, drainage and pattern complexity. Most driveways and patios come in around £3,200–£6,000, but larger areas or premium setts can increase the total. We price after checking access, excavation depth, waste removal and any requirements for permeable build-ups.
Most block paving installations take 3–5 days, assuming straightforward access and dry weather. Time can extend if we’re excavating deeper for soft ground, adjusting levels to meet door thresholds, or adding drainage channels and soakaway solutions. Complex pattern designs, multiple steps, or coordinating a dropped kerb can also add time. We’ll confirm a schedule before work starts and keep you updated daily.
Many driveway and garden paving works are permitted development, but rules often focus on surface water drainage and vehicle crossovers. If your new driveway is non-permeable and over a certain size, you may need a permeable design or suitable drainage to a soakaway rather than the road. Dropped kerbs require council approval. We’ll advise on the likely requirements and build to compliant standards.
Yes. Our block paving installations come with a 10-year warranty covering workmanship, including sub-base preparation, edge restraints and laying quality. It’s designed to protect you against issues such as sinking caused by inadequate foundations or poor compaction. Normal wear, accidental damage, or problems caused by third-party alterations aren’t covered. We’ll also explain aftercare to help keep joints and surfaces performing well.
We offer a wide range of concrete and clay blocks, plus premium setts for a more traditional look. Popular choices include herringbone for driveways, stretcher bond for patios, and contrasting decorative borders to frame the area. We can incorporate charcoal soldier courses, circles, or subtle pattern designs to suit Victorian brickwork or modern façades. We’ll bring samples, discuss maintenance, and recommend colours that work with your frontage.
