From Carshalton Ponds to Carshalton Beeches, homeowners choose block paving for a clean, practical finish that suits period streets and modern updates alike. We install driveway block paving, patio block paving and pathway paving with neat edges and long-lasting joints. Whether you want a smarter entrance or a defined garden route, we tailor the layout to your plot. We also cover SM5 and nearby Wallington for seamless access and aftercare.
Carshalton’s mix of Victorian and Edwardian houses, 1930s semis and other period properties often comes with short drives, side access constraints and sloping front gardens. We design paving that complements brickwork, bay windows and original boundary walls without looking out of place. If you need extra parking space, we can rework levels and add decorative borders to frame planting. For larger plots near Oaks Park, we can introduce wider turning areas and stronger build-ups for heavier vehicles.
We start with a site survey, then recommend a build specification based on usage, drainage and existing ground conditions. Our team excavates to the correct depth, installs a compacted MOT sub-base, lays bedding sand and fits blocks with tight lines and consistent falls. Every job is finished with careful cutting, jointing and a full tidy-up, so you can use the space straight away. Local homeowners trust us for clear communication, punctual scheduling and workmanship backed by a 10-year warranty.
In the London Borough of Sutton, we often find mixed ground and older garden levels that need careful excavation and compaction. Parking and access can be tight around Carshalton House and nearby residential roads, so we plan deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption. We also design with local property styles in mind, keeping lines neat against period brickwork and front steps. Where required, we can advise on drainage compliance and liaise around dropped kerb arrangements.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
For block paving in the Carshalton area, most projects fall within £80–£120 per square metre, depending on the blocks chosen, excavation depth and drainage needs. Typical totals are around £3,200–£6,000 for an average driveway or patio. Costs can rise if you need significant level changes, retaining edges, extra manholes adjusted, or a more intricate pattern design and borders.
Most installations take 3–5 days, covering excavation, sub-base installation, laying and jointing. Smaller pathways can be quicker, while larger driveways or patios may take longer if there are complex cuts, multiple drainage channels or steps and level changes. Weather can affect progress, as can access limitations for machinery and skip placement on narrower roads around SM5.
In many cases, a new or replacement driveway is permitted development, but rules can apply, especially around surface water drainage. If the paved area is over a certain size, you’ll typically need to ensure water drains to a permeable area or suitable soakaway rather than the highway. We’ll advise on compliant options, including permeable blocks or discreet drainage, and flag any Sutton-specific considerations before work starts.
We provide a 10-year warranty covering installation workmanship, including the sub-base build-up, levels and settlement issues caused by poor preparation. It also covers edge restraints fitted by us and the overall integrity of the laid area under normal domestic use. Natural colour variation and minor jointing sand top-ups over time are normal, but if anything related to our installation needs attention, we’ll put it right.
You can choose from standard concrete blocks, tumbled blocks for a softer, aged look, or permeable paving for improved drainage. Popular layouts include herringbone for driveways, stretcher bond for patios, and mixed-size sets for a more traditional feel. We also install decorative borders, contrasting soldier courses and feature circles. We’ll help you match colours and textures to your brickwork, paths and garden planting scheme.
