Sidcup homeowners choose block paving for its smart kerb appeal and practical performance in all seasons. Whether you’re near Sidcup High Street or walking distance from Foots Cray Meadows, we design paving that looks right for the street and works for everyday parking. From driveway block paving to patio and pathway paving, we focus on levels, drainage and long-term stability. Decorative borders and pattern designs add a tailored finish without overcomplicating the space.
The Sidcup area includes a mix of 1930s semis, Victorian houses and newer developments, each with different access and layout challenges. We regularly work across DA14 and DA15, where front gardens can be narrow and slopes are common. Our recommendations take into account turning space, bin access and how you actually use the frontage. If you’re upgrading a tired concrete drive or uneven slabs, we’ll propose a design that improves both function and appearance.
We start with a site visit, measure-up and a written specification covering excavation depth, sub-base build-up and edge restraints. Installation includes careful preparation, precise cuts, professional compaction and clean jointing for a tight finish. We can also coordinate dropped kerbs where required and advise on drainage-compliant layouts. Local homeowners trust us for reliable communication, respectful workmanship and a 10-year warranty for peace of mind.
Across the London Borough of Bexley, access and parking can be tight, so we plan deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption. In Sidcup, many 1930s plots have gentle falls towards the house, so we set levels carefully and factor in drainage from the start. We also account for existing services, thresholds and bay windows common on period homes. If you’re close to Queen Mary’s Hospital or busy routes, we schedule work to keep your entrance usable where possible.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
For block paving in Sidcup, most homeowners budget £80–£120 per square metre depending on excavation depth, access, edging and the block type. Typical projects often land between £3,200 and £6,000 for a driveway or larger patio. Costs can rise with significant groundwork, drainage solutions, decorative borders, complex pattern designs or if you’re also arranging a dropped kerb.
Most block paving installations take around 3–5 days, covering excavation, sub-base installation, edging, laying blocks and jointing. Timescales depend on the size of the area, access for machinery, weather conditions and whether drainage channels or additional groundwork are needed. If you’re adding steps, extensive decorative borders or coordinating a dropped kerb, we’ll allow extra time and set expectations upfront.
Many driveway and garden paving projects are permitted development, but rules can apply around surface water drainage and where water runs off to. If the paved area is large, you may need a permeable solution or drainage to a suitable soakaway rather than the highway. Requirements can also vary with conservation considerations. We’ll advise on compliant options and help you avoid issues before work begins.
