Wandsworth homeowners choose block paving for its clean lines, strength and easy maintenance. Whether you’re near Wandsworth Common or heading towards Southside Shopping Centre, we create driveways, patios and pathways that look sharp and perform year-round. Our team handles everything from excavation to edging and drainage. The result is a surface that stays stable, drains correctly and complements your frontage.
The Wandsworth Town and Earlsfield streetscape mixes Victorian and Edwardian houses with newer riverside apartments, so one design never fits all. We match paving colours and laying patterns to period brickwork, bay windows and boundary walls, or keep things sleek for modern developments. If you need a practical parking layout for a busy family home, we’ll plan turning space and thresholds carefully. For compact front gardens, we maximise usable area without making it feel over-paved.
Our process starts with a site visit, levels check and a clear written scope, then we build a proper sub-base and compact in layers. We install edging restraints, lay blocks with tight joints, and finish with kiln-dried sand for a firm, neat surface. You’ll get straightforward communication, respectful neighbours-first working, and a clean handover. Fine Landscaping is based about 20 minutes away, so support is close by if you ever need aftercare.
Across SW18 we often deal with tight access, resident parking controls and busy school-run traffic, so we plan deliveries and waste removal carefully. Ground conditions vary, and we adjust excavation depth and sub-base specification to suit. We also consider thresholds to Victorian entrances and garden walls so levels look right and water falls away from the house. If council requirements apply, we help you stay compliant from the outset.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
For block paving in the Wandsworth area, budgeting is usually £80–£120 per square metre depending on excavation depth, sub-base specification, edging, drainage and your chosen blocks. Many homeowners spend around £3,200–£6,000 for a typical front driveway or medium patio. Complex patterns, decorative borders, steps or extensive groundwork can increase the overall figure, while simple layouts can reduce it.
Most block paving jobs in Wandsworth take around 3–5 days from dig-out to final jointing, assuming straightforward access and dry weather. Timescales can change if we need deeper excavation, additional drainage, or if levels must be carefully adjusted around door thresholds and existing walls. Larger driveways, intricate pattern designs, or coordinating a dropped kerb can also add time. We’ll confirm a realistic schedule before starting.
In many cases, a block paved driveway is permitted development, but rules can apply around drainage and the amount of impermeable surfacing. If water would run to the highway or you’re altering access, you may need additional approvals, especially for dropped kerbs. We’ll advise on compliant options such as permeable paving or suitable drainage channels. We also flag any constraints for flats, estates or conservation considerations where relevant.
Yes. We provide a 10-year warranty on our block paving installation workmanship, covering issues such as sub-base failure, significant settlement or edge restraint problems when the area is used normally. It doesn’t cover accidental damage, oil staining, or movement caused by third-party works or severe underlying ground issues outside the agreed specification. We also give clear aftercare guidance on cleaning, re-sanding and weed prevention to keep it looking its best.
You can choose from popular options such as brindle, charcoal, autumn mix and traditional reds, with finishes ranging from tumbled (aged look) to contemporary smooth blocks. Pattern choices include herringbone for strength on driveways, basketweave for character, and stretcher bond for clean lines on patios and paths. We can add decorative borders, contrasting soldier courses and neat kerb edging. We’ll bring samples and recommend designs that suit your property style and usage.
