Earl’s Court demands hard-wearing surfaces that look smart and perform in all weather. We design and install commercial driveways for forecourts, private mews access and managed blocks, with careful attention to drainage and pedestrian safety. From the Earl’s Court tube station approaches to properties near Philbeach Gardens, we build surfaces that cope with constant footfall and vehicle movements. Work is planned to minimise disruption and keep access clear.
The SW5 streetscape mixes Victorian mansion conversions, period flats and garden square properties, often with shared access and strict presentation standards. We’re used to working around basement lightwells, iron railings, mature planting and narrow gateways typical across Kensington and West Brompton. For higher-load areas, we specify robust sub-bases and edge restraints to prevent rutting and spread. The result is a driveway that complements Victorian architecture while meeting modern commercial demands.
Every project starts with a site survey, levels check and load assessment, then a clear specification for heavy duty paving, tarmac or concrete. We install compliant drainage solutions and can include line marking for bays, loading areas and pedestrian routes. You’ll get a written scope, tidy workmanship, and a handover pack with care guidance. Many clients choose our maintenance contracts to keep surfaces clean, safe and looking sharp year-round.
Access in Earl’s Court can be tight, with controlled parking and busy streets near the former Earl’s Court Exhibition Centre site. We plan deliveries, waste removal and phasing to keep entrances usable and neighbours informed. Ground levels and existing drainage are checked carefully to avoid water running towards buildings or lightwells. Our approach suits the detailing and constraints common across the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea.

Costs vary by size, access and specification. As a guide, tarmac is often £70–£120 per m², block paving £110–£180 per m², and concrete £100–£160 per m². HGV-rated build-ups, excavation depth, drainage channels, manholes, edging and line marking can increase the total. We provide a detailed, itemised quote after a site survey in the SW5 area.
Most projects take 3–10 working days depending on area, excavation requirements and curing times. Tarmac can be quicker to lay, while concrete needs time to cure before heavy use. Block paving takes longer due to the laying pattern and jointing. Access restrictions around Kensington, Chelsea or Fulham, plus drainage alterations and line marking, can also affect the programme. We’ll agree a phased plan to keep access running.
Many driveway and forecourt works are permitted, but rules can apply to drainage, changes to access, and works affecting the public highway. If you’re creating a new vehicle crossover, altering kerbs, or connecting drainage, you may need council permissions. In conservation areas, materials and appearance can matter too. We’ll advise on what’s likely required and can help you prepare the right information before work begins.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for our commercial driveway installations, covering issues such as sinking caused by inadequate sub-base preparation, edge failure, and poor compaction. Materials are installed to manufacturer guidance, and any product warranties are passed on where applicable. The warranty doesn’t cover damage from unauthorised excavations, oil spills left untreated, or exceptional loading beyond the agreed specification. Maintenance plans can extend surface life.
Popular choices include heavy duty block paving for a premium look, tarmac for cost-effective durability, and brushed or patterned concrete for clean, modern forecourts. We can include HGV-rated permeable options, recessed covers, kerb detailing, and line marking for bays and walkways. Colour, laying patterns and edging are selected to suit period flats and mansion blocks common locally. We’ll recommend options based on load, drainage and appearance goals.
