Sanderstead’s affluent streets include large detached houses, executive homes and characterful period properties, often with wider front gardens and sloping approaches. We regularly work across the concrete driveways Sanderstead area, including Purley, Selsdon and Hamsey Green, where kerb access and turning space matter. Our designs consider drainage, thresholds and garage levels so the driveway feels integrated rather than ‘added on’. Finish options are chosen to complement brickwork, render and traditional boundary walls.
We start with a site survey, measure-up and a written specification, then prepare the sub-base properly before pouring and finishing. You’ll get clear guidance on curing times, aftercare and when you can park on the surface. Our team works with protective edging, clean cuts and neat joints to reduce cracking and keep lines sharp. Local homeowners choose us for dependable scheduling, high standards, and a 10-year warranty for added reassurance.
Working across the London Borough of Croydon, we plan for varied ground conditions, including clay-heavy soils that can move with seasonal moisture. Many Sanderstead plots have gradients, so we set falls carefully and advise on drainage to avoid water sitting near thresholds. We also factor in access for concrete deliveries and considerate parking arrangements, especially near Sanderstead Recreation Ground at busy times. The result is a driveway that fits the property and performs in local conditions.

For most homes in Sanderstead, concrete driveways typically fall between £50–£100 per square metre, depending on thickness, reinforcement and finish. A straightforward standard concrete installation often sits at the lower end, while pattern imprinted, exposed aggregate or coloured concrete costs more due to materials and labour. Typical total project costs are commonly £2,000–£5,000, with larger driveways or extra groundwork increasing the budget.
Most concrete driveway installations take around 2–4 days on site, covering excavation, sub-base installation, formwork and the concrete pour with finishing. Timescales vary with driveway size, access for wagons or pumps, and whether you’re choosing pattern imprinted or exposed aggregate which can add steps. Weather also plays a part, as heavy rain or cold snaps may delay pouring or finishing. We’ll confirm curing guidance before you park on it.
In many cases, a new or replacement driveway is permitted development, but rules can apply where drainage is affected or if the property is in a restricted area. If the driveway is non-permeable, you may need to manage surface water within your boundary rather than directing it to the highway drains. We’ll discuss drainage options during the survey and flag any potential constraints. If needed, we can help you understand Croydon’s requirements before work starts.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our concrete driveway installations, covering workmanship-related issues such as sub-base failure, excessive settlement due to poor preparation, and defects linked to installation.

You’ll also receive aftercare advice to help protect the finish during curing and beyond.
We offer standard concrete for a clean, simple look, plus pattern imprinted concrete for a decorative, block-style appearance.

A brushed finish is a practical option for traction on sloped drives. We’ll help you choose the right thickness, edging, joint layout and colour/texture based on your home, parking needs and maintenance preferences.
