Colliers Wood homeowners choose block paving for a clean, hard-wearing surface that suits both traditional and modern properties. Whether you’re close to Wandle Park or heading towards the Tandem Centre, we build driveways and patios that stand up to daily use and stay looking smart. Our team covers SW19 and nearby streets with careful excavation, solid sub-bases and precise laying. The result is paving that drains correctly, resists sinking and complements your kerb appeal.
The local mix of Victorian terraces, 1930s semis and newer apartments means no two plots are the same. We’re used to tight front gardens, shared access and narrow pathways where every centimetre matters. For period homes, we often match sympathetic colours and add decorative borders for a refined finish. For 1930s semis, we can maximise parking with practical layouts and clear turning space.
Our process is straightforward: site visit, design and levels check, excavation, sub-base installation, laying, then jointing and final clean-down. We pay close attention to falls and drainage so water runs away from your property. All work is completed by experienced installers with tidy working practices and clear communication throughout. Homeowners trust us because we deliver consistent workmanship, transparent pricing and a finish that performs year after year.
In the block paving Colliers Wood area, we often work around busy roads, limited parking and short front boundaries, so deliveries and waste removal are planned carefully. Near the River Wandle, ground conditions and drainage need extra attention, and we set levels to guide water safely away. We also consider dropped kerb requirements and access widths common across the London Borough of Merton. Our approach is designed to suit local property styles and everyday practicalities.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
Most projects in SW19 fall within £80–£120 per square metre, depending on block choice, edging, drainage and how much excavation is required. Typical total costs are often £3,200–£6,000 for an average driveway or patio, but larger areas, complex patterns or extra groundwork can increase this. We provide a detailed, itemised quote after checking levels, access and waste removal needs.
Most driveway or patio installations take around 3–5 days, assuming good access and dry weather. Timescales can extend if there’s deeper excavation, old concrete to break out, steps or retaining edges to build, or if drainage solutions are needed. Pattern designs and decorative borders also add time due to the extra cutting and setting-out. We’ll confirm a realistic schedule before work starts.
Many driveway and garden paving projects are permitted development, but rules can apply around drainage, listed buildings, conservation areas and changes to access. For front driveways, managing surface water is often key, and permeable paving or compliant drainage may be required. If a dropped kerb is needed, approval is usually required through the council/highways process. We’ll advise on the likely requirements and help you stay compliant.
Yes. We provide a 10-year warranty on our block paving installation workmanship, covering issues such as sinking caused by inadequate sub-base preparation, edge restraint failure and movement from poor laying. It doesn’t cover accidental damage, heavy commercial loads beyond the design, or problems caused by third-party alterations. We’ll explain what’s included in writing and give aftercare guidance to keep your paving looking its best.
You can choose from a wide range of colours and finishes, including traditional brindle, charcoal, autumn mixes and contemporary greys.

We can also incorporate pathway paving, patio areas and clean transitions to existing steps or thresholds. We’ll recommend options that suit your property style and budget.
