Coulsdon homeowners want driveways that cope with daily parking, steep approaches and muddy winters after walks on Farthing Downs. Our concrete driveway installations are designed to look smart, drain correctly and stay crack-resistant for years. Whether you’re in Old Coulsdon or near CR5’s greener edges, we tailor the build-up to your plot and usage. Expect a clean, tidy site and a finish that lifts your property’s first impression.
The Coulsdon area includes large detached homes, well-kept 1930s properties and newer developments with tighter parking layouts. We set levels carefully to protect garages, thresholds and existing paths, and we can widen or re-shape entrances for safer manoeuvring. If you need a hardwearing surface for multiple cars, we’ll recommend the right thickness and reinforcement. For a more decorative look, we match finishes to brickwork, render and garden design.
We start with a site visit, measure-up and clear written specification, then excavate, install a solid sub-base and pour to precise falls. Joints, edging and curing are handled properly to reduce cracking and surface dusting. Every job is completed by an experienced team with clear communication from start to finish. Local homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, neat workmanship and a 10-year warranty for peace of mind.
Coulsdon’s semi-rural edges and downland access can mean more tracked-in grit, leaf litter and winter run-off, so we prioritise correct falls and durable surface finishes. We’re used to working with sloping drives and varied ground conditions across CR5, including older plots with established services. Access and on-street parking can be tight in places like Chipstead Valley, so deliveries and concrete pours are planned to minimise disruption. We also keep an eye on local requirements for drainage and frontage works in the London Borough of Croydon.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
In Coulsdon, concrete driveways typically cost £50–£100 per square metre depending on finish and groundworks. A straightforward single-car drive may fall around £2,000–£3,000, while larger or more decorative installations (such as pattern imprinted or exposed aggregate) often sit closer to £3,500–£5,000+. Excavation depth, access for trucks, edging, drainage and repairs to existing bases can all affect the final figure.
Most concrete driveway installations take 2–4 days on site for excavation, sub-base preparation, formwork and the pour/finish. Timescales vary with size, access in CR5 streets, and whether you’re adding steps, retaining edges or drainage channels. Decorative finishes like pattern imprinted or coloured concrete can add time for detailing. We’ll also advise on curing time before parking on the new surface, which is important for long-term strength.
Many driveway upgrades are permitted development, but rules can apply around drainage and changes to front gardens. If the new surface is not permeable, you may need suitable drainage to a soakaway or other compliant solution, and there can be extra considerations for certain properties or constraints. We’ll talk you through options and check what’s sensible for your site in the London Borough of Croydon before work starts, so there are no surprises.
Yes. Our concrete driveway installations come with a 10-year warranty covering workmanship-related issues, such as defects caused by incorrect preparation, poor finishing or inadequate installation of the base. It also includes problems linked to our edging and jointing where applicable. The warranty doesn’t cover misuse, impact damage, or movement caused by external factors like leaking drains or tree-root heave. We’ll explain care guidance to help your driveway last.
We offer standard concrete for a clean, practical look, plus brushed finish for extra grip. For a more premium appearance, many clients choose pattern imprinted concrete, exposed aggregate, or coloured concrete to complement brickwork and paving. We can also carry out repairs to cracked or worn areas where replacement isn’t necessary. During the survey, we’ll recommend the best option based on slope, usage, drainage needs and the style of your Coulsdon property.
