Crystal Palace homes deserve paving that matches the area’s character and steep streets. We design and install block paving for driveways, patios and pathways across SE19 and SE20, including Upper Norwood and Penge. Whether you’re near Crystal Palace Park or the National Sports Centre, we’ll create a surface that’s practical for daily use and smart enough for kerb appeal. Decorative borders and pattern designs are available to complement brickwork and garden layouts.
Our team works locally, with our base just 15 minutes away, so you get quick site visits and reliable scheduling. The Crystal Palace housing mix—Victorian villas, Edwardian houses and period conversions—often needs careful detailing around bay windows, front steps and garden walls. We regularly build driveway block paving that improves parking without overpowering the frontage. For rear gardens, patio block paving and pathway paving help create neat routes between lawns, sheds and side returns.
We start with a site survey, levels check and drainage plan, then excavate and build a proper sub-base before laying and compacting the blocks. Edging restraints, jointing and finishing details are completed for a crisp, stable surface. You’ll receive a clear written quote, a realistic programme (typically 3–5 days) and straightforward aftercare advice. Homeowners choose us for consistent workmanship, clean handover and a 10-year warranty.
Crystal Palace spans multiple council areas, so requirements can differ between the London Borough of Bromley, Croydon, Lambeth, Southwark and Lewisham. We plan levels carefully for sloping plots around Gipsy Hill and Anerley, and we factor in access, parking and skip placement on tighter roads. Where drainage is a concern, we recommend compliant solutions and sensible falls. Our approach keeps your paving looking right and performing well year-round.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
Most projects in the Crystal Palace area fall within £80–£120 per square metre, depending on block choice, pattern complexity, edging and excavation depth. For a typical driveway or larger patio, many homeowners budget around £3,200–£6,000. Costs can rise if the site needs extra groundworks, drainage adjustments, or if access is restricted on narrower streets in SE19/SE20.
Most block paving installations take 3–5 days, covering excavation, sub-base build-up, laying, cutting-in and compaction. Timescales depend on area size, weather, and the amount of preparation needed—especially if old concrete must be removed or levels need correcting on sloped driveways. Complex pattern designs, decorative borders and steps can add time, but we’ll confirm a realistic schedule before work starts.
In many cases, driveway and garden paving is permitted development, but rules can apply around drainage, listed buildings, conservation areas and changes to access. Because Crystal Palace sits across Bromley, Croydon, Lambeth, Southwark and Lewisham, requirements can vary by street. We’ll advise on compliant drainage approaches and flag when you may need permissions, including any dropped kerb applications or highway approvals.
Yes. We provide a 10-year warranty on our block paving installation workmanship. This covers issues such as sinking caused by inadequate sub-base preparation, loose edging restraints, or failures linked to installation methods. Normal wear, accidental damage, and problems caused by third-party alterations aren’t included. We’ll also give practical care guidance—like cleaning and re-sanding joints—to help your paving stay crisp and stable.
We offer a wide range of colours, sizes and finishes, including classic tumbled blocks for period properties and sharper contemporary blocks for modern conversions. Popular options include herringbone for driveways, basketweave for patios, and contrasting decorative borders to frame planting. We’ll help you choose a layout that suits your home’s brickwork, the available space and how you use it, including pathway paving and patio zones.
