From Penge High Street to the streets around Alexandra Recreation Ground, homeowners want paving that looks smart and stays level. Our block paving is ideal for driveways, patio seating areas and neat front-garden paths. We can add decorative borders, pattern designs and practical drainage details to suit your layout. Work is planned to minimise disruption and keep access safe throughout.
Penge has a strong mix of Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and period conversions, often with compact fronts and shared access. We design paving that complements brickwork and railings, while making the most of limited space for parking or bins. If you’re near SE20 or close to Penge East station, we’ll factor in tighter turning circles and delivery access. The result is paving that fits the property and the way you use it day-to-day.
Our process starts with a site visit, clear specification and a written quote, then careful excavation and a properly compacted sub-base. Blocks are laid to accurate falls with robust edge restraints, then jointed and finished for a clean, even surface. We keep the site tidy, protect neighbouring boundaries, and communicate daily progress. Local homeowners choose us for consistent workmanship, reliable scheduling and a 10-year warranty for peace of mind.
We’re used to the access and parking constraints around SE20, including narrower roads and limited on-street space. As experienced installers of block paving in London Borough of Bromley, we plan deliveries, waste removal and working hours to keep things moving smoothly. Ground conditions can vary between front gardens and rear patios, so we adjust excavation depth and compaction to suit. We also advise on drainage and crossover requirements when a dropped kerb is needed.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
For most homes in Penge, block paving typically ranges from £80–£120 per square metre, depending on block type, ground preparation and edging details. A common total spend for a driveway or larger patio is around £3,200–£6,000, but complex patterns, steps, drainage channels or extensive excavation can increase costs. We’ll measure up and explain options that fit your budget and layout.
Most block paving projects take 3–5 days from excavation to final jointing, assuming normal access and weather. Timescales depend on the area size, how much digging out is required, and whether we’re adding features like decorative borders, drainage, or a dropped kerb. If access is tight or there’s old concrete to break out, we’ll allow extra time and keep you updated throughout.
In many cases, driveway and garden paving is permitted development, but rules can apply to surface water drainage and crossovers. If the new surface is non-permeable and exceeds certain sizes, you may need a compliant drainage solution or permission. Dropped kerbs also require council approval. We’ll advise on permeable paving and drainage options and help you understand Bromley’s requirements before work begins.
Yes. Fine Landscaping provides a 10-year warranty on our block paving installation. It covers workmanship issues such as sinking caused by inadequate sub-base preparation, loose edging restraints, and jointing problems under normal domestic use. It doesn’t cover accidental damage, heavy commercial vehicle loading, or issues caused by third-party alterations. We’ll also explain simple maintenance steps to keep the surface looking its best.
You can choose from standard concrete blocks, tumbled blocks for a softer period look, and permeable blocks for improved drainage. Popular layouts include herringbone for driveways, basketweave for patios, and contrasting soldier-course borders for definition. We can also incorporate decorative edging, steps, and drainage channels where needed. We’ll bring samples, recommend colours that suit your property, and confirm the pattern before installation.
