West Wickham has plenty of 1930s semis and detached houses with generous front gardens, plus newer developments that benefit from modern, low-maintenance paving. We design paving that complements brickwork, render and period detailing, while improving access and kerb appeal. For properties backing onto greener edges near Sparrows Den and Spring Park, we can blend paving with planting and softer borders. The result is a surface that feels considered, not just “laid down”.
Our process starts with a site survey, levels check and drainage plan, then careful excavation and a properly compacted sub-base. We install block paving with accurate falls, robust edge restraints and kiln-dried jointing for stability. You’ll get clear communication, tidy working practices and a finish we’re proud to put our name to. Local homeowners choose us for reliable timescales, neat details and workmanship backed by warranty.
Around West Wickham and nearby Hayes and Shirley, we often find mixed ground and older drive build-ups that need full excavation rather than patch repairs. Access and parking can be tight on residential streets, so we plan deliveries, waste removal and working areas to keep disruption down. We also factor in levels to garages and thresholds common on 1930s plots. For block paving in London Borough of Bromley, we’ll advise on drainage and any council considerations before work begins.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
For West Wickham projects, block paving typically ranges from £80–£120 per square metre, depending on block choice, excavation depth and drainage needs. Many driveway and patio installations fall around £3,200–£6,000, but larger areas, complex patterns, extra edging or replacing poor ground can increase costs. We provide an itemised quotation after a site visit, so you can compare like-for-like.
Most block paving jobs take 3–5 days, covering excavation, sub-base installation, laying, cutting-in and jointing. Timescales vary with the size of the area, access for machinery, the amount of spoil to remove and whether drainage channels or a dropped kerb are involved. Weather can also affect progress, particularly during heavy rain. We’ll confirm a realistic schedule before starting.
In many cases, a new driveway or patio is permitted development, but rules can apply to surface water drainage and where water is directed. If the area is over a certain size, you may need permeable paving or drainage to a suitable soakaway rather than the highway. Dropped kerbs are usually subject to council approval. We’ll advise on compliance and help you plan the right approach.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our block paving installation workmanship, covering issues such as sub-base failure, significant sinking caused by installation, and edge restraint movement under normal use. It doesn’t cover accidental damage, oil staining, or problems caused by third-party alterations or heavy vehicles beyond what was specified. We’ll also give care guidance to keep joints stable and the surface looking its best.
You can choose from standard concrete blocks, tumbled blocks for a softer, aged look, and permeable options where drainage is a priority. Popular layouts include herringbone for strength on driveways, basketweave for character, and stretcher bond for clean, modern lines. We can add decorative borders, contrasting soldier courses and bespoke pattern designs. We’ll bring samples and help match colours to your brickwork and garden style.
