From smart driveway upgrades near Clapham Common to tidy garden patios in Clapham Old Town, block paving adds structure and value.

If you’re in SW4 or SW11, we can survey quickly and advise on the best layout.
The block paving Clapham area often needs to suit Georgian townhouses, Victorian terraces and newer apartment developments around Clapham Junction station. We regularly work with narrow front gardens, shared access routes and limited on-street parking. Our designs balance kerb appeal with practical turning space and bin access. For rear gardens, we create patios and pathways that feel intentional, not pieced together.
We start with a site visit, levels check and drainage plan, then excavate and build a solid sub-base before laying and compacting the blocks. Joints are kiln-dried sanded and edges are securely restrained for long-term stability. You’ll get clear scheduling (typically 3–5 days) and tidy working practices throughout. Local homeowners choose us for straightforward advice, consistent workmanship and a 10-year warranty.
Block paving in London Borough of Lambeth/Wandsworth often involves clay-heavy soils, mature tree roots and tight access through side returns. We plan spoil removal, deliveries and parking to minimise disruption, especially around busier routes near Clapham Common. Where needed, we design permeable solutions and sensible falls to manage runoff. We also align finishes with local streetscapes, from period terraces to modern apartment entrances.

Most projects in Clapham fall around £80–£120 per square metre, depending on excavation depth, sub-base build-up, drainage and edging. A typical driveway or patio often totals £3,200–£6,000, but larger areas, complex patterns, extra groundwork or steps can increase the overall figure. We’ll measure up, discuss finishes and provide an itemised estimate based on your layout and access.
Most driveway, patio or pathway installations take 3–5 days, assuming reasonable access and dry weather. Timescales can extend if we uncover poor ground that needs extra stabilisation, if drainage channels or soakaways are required, or if you choose intricate pattern designs and decorative borders. We’ll confirm a schedule after the site survey and keep you updated daily as the base and laying stages progress.
In many cases, paving a driveway or garden area is permitted development, especially when the surface is permeable or drains to a suitable area within your boundary. Rules can change with conservation areas, listed buildings, and alterations that affect the pavement or require a dropped kerb. We’ll advise on compliant drainage and, if needed, help you understand Lambeth or Wandsworth requirements before work starts.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our block paving installation workmanship, covering issues such as sinking caused by sub-base failure, loose edging restraints and avoidable movement from incorrect compaction. It doesn’t cover accidental damage, heavy commercial vehicle loading beyond design, or problems caused by third-party alterations. We also explain simple aftercare, including joint sand top-ups and cleaning guidance, to keep the surface looking sharp.
