If your existing drive is cracked, uneven or turning to puddles, a new concrete surface can transform access and appearance. We install concrete driveways across CR8, including routes around Purley Cross and up towards Riddlesdown. From clean, modern bays to wider entrances for multiple cars, we tailor the layout to your frontage. Expect a tidy site, clear communication and a finish that looks smart year-round.
Purley’s mix of large detached houses, 1930s properties and period homes often comes with generous driveways, sloping approaches or older hardstanding. We’re used to widening entrances, improving turning circles and creating defined parking for households with two or more vehicles. In areas such as Purley Oaks and Sanderstead, we match the driveway style to the building’s character and existing brickwork. The result is practical access without compromising the look of your home.
Our process starts with a site visit, levels check and advice on drainage falls, edging and finish options. We excavate properly, build a solid sub-base, install reinforcement where needed and pour to consistent thickness for strength. You’ll get clear timescales (typically 2–4 days) and a workmanship-backed 10-year warranty. Homeowners choose us for straight answers, careful preparation and a driveway that performs as well as it looks.
We regularly work on driveways in the London Borough of Croydon, where access, parking and waste removal can vary street by street. Around Purley Way and the CR8 area, we plan deliveries and skips to keep disruption down and neighbours happy. Many plots have slopes towards the road, so we set correct falls and drainage details from the start. We also account for mature trees and root zones common in Purley’s leafy streets.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
Most projects in Purley fall within £50–£100 per square metre, depending on excavation depth, sub-base condition, reinforcement and the finish you choose. Standard concrete is usually the most cost-effective, while pattern imprinted, exposed aggregate or coloured concrete can sit towards the higher end. As a guide, typical driveway totals are often £2,000–£5,000, but larger or more complex layouts can exceed this.
A typical concrete driveway installation takes 2–4 days on site, followed by curing time before heavy vehicle use. Timescales depend on the size of the driveway, how much excavation is required, weather conditions and whether you’re adding steps, edging, drainage channels or a patterned finish. We’ll confirm access arrangements and a realistic programme before work starts, and we keep the site safe and tidy throughout.
Many driveway projects are permitted development, but rules can apply around drainage and changes to the front garden. If the surface is non-permeable, you may need to manage runoff to a suitable area within your property rather than the road. We’ll advise on compliant drainage options and check any relevant constraints, such as conservation considerations or crossover requirements, before you commit to the build.
We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty on our concrete driveway installations. This covers issues linked to installation, such as poor compaction, inadequate sub-base preparation, or defects arising from how the concrete was laid and finished. Normal wear, accidental damage and problems caused by third-party alterations aren’t included. We also give clear aftercare guidance to help prevent staining and premature surface deterioration.
We offer standard concrete for a clean, modern look, plus pattern imprinted concrete for decorative paving-style designs. Exposed aggregate is popular for a textured, slip-resistant finish, while coloured concrete can complement brickwork and render. A brushed finish suits practical family driveways and helps with grip. We’ll help you choose based on your property style, gradient, maintenance preferences and how you want the driveway to look from the street.
