Streatham homeowners choose block paving for a clean, hard-wearing surface that suits both period homes and modern builds. Whether you’re near Streatham Common or along Streatham High Road, we design paving that complements your frontage and improves day-to-day parking. Our team installs driveway block paving, patio block paving and pathway paving with careful levels and drainage. Expect sharp edges, tidy joints and a finish that looks right from day one.
Across Streatham Hill and Streatham Vale, we regularly work on Victorian and Edwardian houses, mansion flats and newer apartments where space and access can be tight. We plan layouts that maximise usable parking without looking cramped, and we can add decorative borders to frame planting beds or bay windows. If your property sits on a slope or has an older entrance, we’ll set falls correctly to move water away from the house. The result is paving that fits the character of the street, not a one-size-fits-all pattern.
Our process starts with a site visit, clear measurements and a written specification for excavation depth, sub-base and edge restraints. We use proven installation methods, compact in layers and finish with kiln-dried jointing for stability. You’ll get straightforward communication, respectful working practices and a clean handover. Local clients recommend us for reliable timings, consistent workmanship and a 10-year warranty for peace of mind.
We understand the practicalities of block paving in London Borough of Lambeth, including parking constraints and keeping access safe during works. In the SW16 and SW2 streets around Rookery Gardens, we often encounter mixed ground and older garden walls, so we adjust excavation and edge detailing accordingly. We also factor in waste removal, delivery access and considerate scheduling for busy roads. If council guidance affects drainage or crossovers, we’ll flag it early and advise on the best route.

For most projects in the block paving Streatham area, budgets typically fall between £80–£120 per square metre, depending on block type, groundwork and drainage requirements. A typical driveway or patio often totals around £3,200–£6,000, but costs can rise for complex levels, extensive excavation, decorative borders, or permeable systems. We provide a detailed quote after measuring and checking access, waste removal and edging needs.
Most block paving installations take 3–5 days, covering excavation, sub-base build-up, edging, laying and jointing. Timescales can change if the area is large, access is restricted, or there are level changes that need extra preparation. Weather can also affect compaction and finishing. We’ll confirm a realistic schedule before starting and keep you updated as each stage is completed.
In many cases, driveway and garden paving works are permitted development, especially when surface water drains to a permeable area or suitable drainage is installed. However, rules can vary depending on drainage arrangements, listed buildings, conservation considerations, or changes to a vehicle crossover. For block paving in London Borough of Lambeth, we’ll discuss compliance at survey stage and can advise on permeable options and whether you should check with the council before work begins.
Yes. Fine Landscaping provides a 10-year warranty on our block paving installation workmanship. This covers issues such as sub-base failure, significant sinking due to installation defects, and problems caused by inadequate edge restraints or compaction. It doesn’t cover accidental damage, oil stains, or movement caused by external factors like tree roots or underground utility works. We’ll explain care guidance and what’s included in writing with your quote.
You can choose from standard concrete blocks, tumbled blocks for a softer, period look, and permeable block paving for improved drainage. Popular layouts include herringbone for driveways, basketweave for patios, and stretcher bond for pathways, often finished with decorative borders. We also create pattern designs to suit bay-fronted Victorian homes or cleaner modern façades. We’ll bring samples, recommend colours, and plan a layout that works with your levels and access.
