Sydenham homeowners want a driveway that looks sharp and stands up to London weather and constant use. We install new concrete driveways and carry out repairs across SE26, including Lower Sydenham and routes near Sydenham Wells Park.

The Sydenham area is known for Victorian villas, Edwardian houses and period conversions, often with short front gardens and shared boundaries. We’re used to working with existing brick walls, original steps and narrow access, keeping the finished levels right for thresholds and air bricks. For homes near Forest Hill and the Horniman Museum, we regularly match driveway styles to traditional façades while improving practical parking. Our layouts prioritise turning space, drainage falls and a crisp, symmetrical appearance.
We start with a site visit, measure-up and a written recommendation on base depth, reinforcement and drainage. Our team handles excavation, sub-base compaction, shuttering, pouring and finishing, then returns for snagging if needed. Every job is planned to minimise disruption, with tidy waste removal and clear communication throughout. Local clients choose us for consistent workmanship, reliable scheduling and a 10-year warranty for peace of mind.
Driveway access in Sydenham can be tight, with on-street parking and short frontages, so we plan deliveries and pours carefully. Ground conditions vary near wooded areas such as Sydenham Hill Wood, so we specify the right sub-base and compaction to reduce settlement. We also consider drainage requirements and practical crossovers, and we’ll flag anything that may need approval. If you’re comparing concrete driveways in London Borough of Lewisham, our approach focuses on longevity and tidy detailing.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
Most projects in Sydenham fall between £50–£100 per square metre, depending on excavation depth, access, drainage and finish. A straightforward standard pour is usually at the lower end, while pattern imprinted, coloured concrete or exposed aggregate typically costs more. Many UK homeowners budget £2,000–£5,000 for an average front driveway, but we’ll confirm after a site survey and measurements.
A typical installation takes 2–4 days, covering excavation, sub-base preparation, shuttering and the concrete pour/finish. Pattern imprinted and exposed aggregate can add time due to extra steps and careful timing. Access restrictions, removal of old surfaces, drainage changes and weather can affect the schedule. We’ll give you a clear programme before starting and advise on curing time before parking on the new surface.
In many cases, a new or replacement driveway is permitted development, but rules can apply to drainage, crossovers and listed or conservation considerations. If the surface affects how water drains to the street, you may need a compliant permeable solution or drainage to a suitable area. We’ll talk through the options, check practical requirements for your property and advise if you should confirm details with Lewisham before work starts.
