From Cheam Village to SM2 and SM3 streets, smart block paving can transform kerb appeal and day-to-day parking. We install driveway, patio and pathway paving with clean lines, accurate levels and tidy edging. Many clients ask for decorative borders and pattern designs to complement brickwork and front gardens. We’re often working near Nonsuch Park and the surrounding residential roads.
Cheam’s mix of period cottages, 1930s houses and larger executive homes calls for paving that fits the property rather than fighting it. For 1930s driveways, we can widen parking areas and improve turning space without losing character. For older homes, we match tones and edging details so the finish feels established. We also support projects across North Cheam, Worcester Park and Ewell where access and gradients vary street to street.
Our process starts with a site visit, clear measurements and a written scope so you know what’s included. We excavate properly, install a compacted sub-base, set accurate falls for drainage, then lay and joint the blocks for a stable surface. Work is typically completed in 3–5 days, with respectful site management and daily tidy-ups. Homeowners choose us for consistent workmanship, straightforward communication and a 10-year warranty.
We’re used to the practicalities of block paving in London Borough of Sutton, including parking constraints, skip placement and keeping access safe. Cheam driveways often need careful level changes to meet garages, bay windows and existing paths. We plan drainage and permeable options where required, and we’ll advise on dropped kerb requirements before work starts. Being around 20 minutes from our base helps us respond quickly during the build.

For most homes, block paving in the Cheam area typically falls between £80–£120 per square metre, depending on block choice, edging, patterns and ground preparation. Typical total costs are often £3,200–£6,000 for a standard driveway or patio, but larger areas, complex levels, drainage upgrades or extensive excavation can increase the budget. We provide a detailed written quote after a site visit.
Most block paving projects take 3–5 days from excavation to final jointing, assuming reasonable access and average weather. Timescales can change if the area is large, if there are significant level corrections, or if extra work is needed for drainage, steps or manhole adjustments. Pattern designs and decorative borders can also add time. We’ll confirm a realistic schedule before starting.
In many cases, a new or replacement driveway is permitted development, but rules can apply around surface water drainage, especially if you’re paving over a front garden. Using permeable paving or directing water to a suitable soakaway is often required. Conservation area considerations can also affect design choices. We’ll check the basics for your property and advise if you should confirm details with Sutton Council.
Yes. We provide a 10-year warranty on our block paving installation workmanship, covering issues such as sinking caused by inadequate sub-base preparation, movement due to poor compaction, and edging failures. Normal wear, accidental damage and problems caused by third-party alterations aren’t included. Many paving products also come with manufacturer guarantees, and we’ll explain what applies to your chosen blocks and finishes.
You can choose from concrete or clay blocks in a range of colours and finishes, including tumbled blocks for a softer, period look and sharper contemporary styles for modern frontages. Popular patterns include herringbone for driveways, stretcher bond for paths, and bespoke pattern designs with decorative borders. We’ll help you select sizes, edging and colours that suit your home, lighting and planting scheme.
