A well-laid concrete driveway transforms parking and frontage, especially on busy residential streets around SM5. We install durable driveways that look smart and handle frequent vehicle use, from family cars to vans. Whether you’re near Carshalton Ponds or heading towards Wallington, we’ll design a finish that complements your property and improves access.
Carshalton’s mix of Victorian and Edwardian houses, 1930s semis and character period properties often comes with narrow side access and sloping front gardens. We regularly build concrete driveways Carshalton area homeowners choose to maximise parking without losing the look of traditional brickwork and garden boundaries. In places like Carshalton Beeches and Hackbridge, we tailor levels and drainage to suit existing paths, steps and garage thresholds.
Our process starts with a site visit, accurate measuring and a clear written quotation. We excavate properly, install a solid sub-base, set edging, and pour and finish the slab to the agreed specification. If you need repairs to an existing drive, we’ll assess cracking, sinking and drainage before recommending the most cost-effective fix. Local homeowners trust us for tidy working, reliable scheduling and a 10-year warranty on workmanship.
We’re familiar with access and parking constraints on Carshalton’s residential roads, including tight frontages and shared crossovers. Ground conditions can vary, so we specify the right sub-base depth and reinforcement where needed. We also plan practical waste removal and deliveries to minimise disruption. For concrete driveways in London Borough of Sutton, we keep drainage and fall details front of mind from day one.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
In Carshalton, concrete driveways typically cost £50–£100 per square metre depending on thickness, preparation and finish. Standard concrete is usually the most cost-effective, while pattern imprinted, exposed aggregate or coloured concrete can sit at the higher end. Many homeowners spend around £2,000–£5,000 for a typical front drive, but costs vary with excavation depth, edging, access and drainage requirements.
Most installations take 2–4 days on site, depending on the driveway size and the chosen finish. Time is affected by excavation and sub-base work, edging details, and whether you’re replacing an existing surface. Pattern imprinted concrete needs careful timing during the pour, while repairs can be quicker if the base is sound. We’ll also advise on curing time before parking vehicles on the new surface.
Many driveway works are permitted development, but rules can apply to drainage and where water runs off. If the surface is non-permeable, you may need to ensure runoff goes to a suitable permeable area or drainage solution rather than the highway. Requirements can also vary for certain properties or constraints. We’ll talk you through the options, check likely requirements for Sutton, and build a compliant drainage approach into the design.
Yes. We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for our concrete driveway installations. This covers issues linked to installation quality, such as poor compaction leading to settlement, incorrect falls causing standing water, or finish defects caused by improper application. It doesn’t cover accidental damage, heavy point loading beyond normal domestic use, or problems caused by third-party alterations. We also give aftercare guidance to help your driveway last.
We offer standard concrete, brushed finish for added grip, pattern imprinted designs for a decorative look, exposed aggregate for texture and character, and coloured concrete to complement brickwork and render. We can also match edging styles and create neat bays or pathways to suit your frontage. During the survey we’ll discuss your property style, parking needs and maintenance preferences, then recommend the most suitable finish for your budget.
