Response within 24 hours
If you want a driveway that complements your home and handles daily use, block paving is a smart, high-end choice. We install driveways, patios and pathways across CR2, including around Sanderstead Recreation Ground and routes towards Purley. Expect crisp edging, tidy falls for drainage and a finish that lifts kerb appeal. Decorative borders and pattern designs can be added to suit both modern and traditional properties.
Sanderstead’s large detached houses, executive homes and character period properties benefit from paving that feels proportionate and well detailed. We regularly design wider driveways for multi-car parking, plus front garden layouts that keep planting and access balanced. For clients in Hamsey Green and Selsdon, we match colours and textures to brickwork, render and boundary walls. The result is a surface that looks intentional, not just “new”.
Our process starts with a site visit, levels check and a clear written specification. We excavate properly, build a robust MOT Type 1 sub-base, install edge restraints, then lay and compact blocks before kiln-dried jointing sand. Where needed, we incorporate drainage solutions and advise on dropped kerbs. Homeowners choose us for punctual crews, clean working practices and a 10-year workmanship warranty.
We’re used to working across the block paving Sanderstead area where sloping drives and mature trees can affect levels and root zones. In the block paving in London Borough of Croydon, we plan access, parking and waste removal carefully, keeping disruption low on residential roads. We also design falls and drainage details to suit local conditions and protect nearby boundaries. If a dropped kerb is required, we’ll guide you through the practical steps before work begins.

For most homes in Sanderstead, block paving is typically £80–£120 per square metre, depending on block type, pattern, edging and drainage requirements. A typical driveway or patio project commonly falls around £3,200–£6,000, but larger areas, complex levels, steps, or premium setts can increase costs. We’ll measure up, check ground conditions and provide a detailed, itemised quote.
Most block paving installations take 3–5 days, assuming straightforward access and settled weather. Timescales vary with excavation depth, the size of the area, and whether we’re adding drainage channels, retaining edges, or decorative borders. If your drive needs significant level changes or you’re combining a driveway with patio and pathways, it can take a little longer. We’ll confirm a schedule before starting.
Many driveway and garden paving projects are permitted development, but rules can apply around surface water drainage, listed buildings, and conservation considerations. In general, front driveways should manage rainwater on your property using permeable paving or suitable drainage to a soakaway rather than the public sewer. We’ll advise on compliant build-ups and falls, and flag anything that may need approval before work begins.
Yes. We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty on our block paving installations. This covers issues linked to installation quality, such as sub-base failure leading to sinking, loose edging restraints, or poor compaction causing movement, subject to fair use and normal ground conditions. Materials are covered by the manufacturer’s warranty where applicable. We also explain aftercare, including re-sanding joints and cleaning guidance.
You can choose from standard concrete blocks, tumbled blocks for a softer, period look, and premium finishes with richer colour blends. Popular patterns include herringbone for strength on driveways, basketweave for character, and stretcher bond for clean modern patios. We can add contrasting decorative borders, soldier courses and feature circles. We’ll help you select colours and textures that suit your house style and existing brickwork.
