Response within 24 hours
Soho’s constant deliveries and high footfall demand surfaces that stay safe, tidy and compliant. We build robust commercial entrances, courtyards and service yards across W1, from Carnaby Street to Soho Square. Expect heavy duty paving, reliable drainage and a finish that suits your frontage. If you need bays, arrows or keep-clear zones, our line marking keeps traffic flowing.
Properties in the Soho area range from Georgian townhouses with rear mews access to mansion flats and commercial conversions above retail. That mix often means tight gates, shared access routes and strict working hours, especially near Leicester Square and Covent Garden. We tailor build-ups and materials to match the load requirements and the look of the building. Our commercial driveways in City of Westminster are specified to cope with frequent vans and occasional HGVs.
We start with a site survey, levels check and drainage plan, then provide a clear specification and programme. Sub-bases are installed to the required loading class, with falls set to manage surface water correctly. Work is carried out by our in-house team with tidy handovers and optional maintenance contracts for ongoing performance. Clients choose us for dependable scheduling, durable finishes and a 10-year warranty.
Soho sites often have restricted access, limited parking and delivery windows that must be respected. We plan logistics around busy streets near Liberty London and Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Club, keeping materials and waste movements efficient. Ground conditions and existing basements can affect excavation depths, so we survey carefully before setting levels. Where required, we align drainage and surfacing choices with City of Westminster expectations and local constraints.

Costs in W1 vary with access, excavation depth, drainage and loading requirements. As a guide, tarmac typically starts around £90–£140 per m², block paving around £120–£220 per m², and concrete around £110–£190 per m². HGV-rated build-ups, manholes, kerbs and line marking add to the total. We provide a detailed, itemised quote after a site survey.
Most commercial driveway projects take 3–10 working days, depending on size, access and the amount of excavation needed. Tarmac can be quicker once the base is prepared, while block paving and concrete edging are more labour-intensive. Drainage runs, replacing manholes, and curing time for concrete can extend the programme. We agree working hours and a phased plan to keep your site operational where possible.
Many driveway and hardstanding works are permitted, but rules can change for commercial premises, listed buildings and conservation areas common around Soho. Surface water must usually drain to a permeable area or suitable system rather than the public sewer. We check constraints, advise on permeable options and help you understand any City of Westminster requirements. If permissions or approvals are needed, we’ll flag them before work starts.
We include a 10-year warranty covering workmanship and installation defects, provided the driveway is used within the agreed loading specification. This includes issues such as settlement caused by inadequate sub-base preparation, poor edging restraint, or incorrect falls affecting drainage. Materials may also carry manufacturer guarantees, depending on the product. We’ll explain what’s covered, maintenance expectations, and how to report any concerns quickly.
We install heavy duty block paving for a premium look, tarmac for cost-effective durability, and concrete for clean, hard-wearing yards. Options include HGV-rated build-ups, reinforced edges, contrasting borders, and anti-slip finishes where needed. We can also add line marking for bays, accessible spaces and directional arrows. We’ll recommend the best combination based on traffic type, drainage needs and the style of your frontage.
