Catford homeowners want outdoor spaces that are practical, attractive and easy to maintain. Whether you’re near Catford Broadway or walking distance from Mountsfield Park, block paving can transform a tired drive or garden into a usable space. We install driveway block paving, patio paving and pathway paving with decorative borders and pattern designs. If access or levels are tricky, we plan the build so the finish still looks seamless.
The SE6 area has a mix of Victorian terraces, 1930s semis and ex-council properties, each with different frontage sizes and parking needs. We regularly work on narrow drives, shared crossovers and gardens with steps or retaining edges. Our team understands how to create strong, even surfaces while keeping the look in keeping with the street. For the block paving Catford area, we also advise on drainage-friendly layouts that reduce puddling and mess.
We start with a site visit, measure-up and a written specification covering excavation depth, sub-base and edging details. Installation follows a proven method: dig out, compacted MOT Type 1, bedding sand, precise laying, cut-ins, then kiln-dried jointing. We keep disruption low and leave the site clean each day. Homeowners choose us for consistent workmanship, clear communication, and a 10-year warranty for peace of mind.
Around Catford and the wider London Borough of Lewisham, access can be tight and parking restrictions can affect deliveries and skips. We plan logistics in advance and schedule materials to minimise disruption. Many properties in SE6 have short front gardens and existing levels to work around, so we pay close attention to falls and thresholds. Where required, we can advise on dropped kerbs and liaise around practical council expectations.

Most projects in SE6 fall within £80–£120 per square metre, depending on block type, pattern, edging and groundwork. Typical total costs are often £3,200–£6,000 for a standard driveway or patio, but larger areas, extra excavation, drainage changes or decorative borders can increase the budget. We provide a detailed breakdown after a site visit so you can compare like-for-like.
Most block paving jobs take 3–5 days from excavation to jointing, assuming reasonable weather and straightforward access. Timescales can extend if we need deeper dig-outs, significant level changes, extra drainage, or complex pattern designs and cut-ins. If parking restrictions affect deliveries, we’ll plan around them to keep the programme moving. We’ll confirm a realistic schedule before work starts.
In many cases, a new driveway or patio is permitted development, but rules can apply to drainage and where surface water goes. If the paved area is over a certain size, you may need a permeable solution or drainage to a suitable soakaway rather than the public sewer. Restrictions can also apply to dropped kerbs and some property types. We’ll flag any likely issues and help you stay compliant.
Yes. Our block paving installations come with a 10-year warranty covering workmanship, including sub-base preparation, levels, and edge restraint integrity under normal domestic use. It does not cover damage from heavy commercial vehicles, ground movement outside our control, or issues caused by later alterations by others. We also provide care guidance to help keep joints stable and the surface looking its best.
You can choose from classic rectangular blocks, tumbled blocks for a softer period look, and contemporary smooth finishes in a range of colours. Popular layouts include herringbone for strength on driveways, stretcher bond for clean lines, and mixed-size patterns for patios. Decorative borders and contrasting soldier courses add definition. We’ll recommend options that suit your property style, budget and how you use the space.
