If your front garden needs practical parking, we install concrete driveways that look tidy and last. We work across CR7, including routes around Thornton Heath station and the streets by Grangewood Park. Our concrete options suit everything from compact single bays to wider family driveways. Expect clean edges, proper levels and a finish that complements your home.
Thornton Heath is a well-connected residential area with excellent value properties, and many homes benefit from a properly formed driveway. We regularly work on Victorian terraces, Edwardian semis and 1930s houses where space, access and levels can be tight. We plan the layout to maximise parking without sacrificing a usable entrance path. The result is a driveway that fits the property style rather than overpowering it.
We start with a site visit, clear measurements and a written specification, then prepare a solid sub-base before pouring and finishing. Levels are set carefully to manage surface water and reduce puddling at the threshold. We keep disruption down with a tidy, phased approach and clear daily updates. Local homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, crisp workmanship and a 10-year warranty for peace of mind.
Access and parking can be challenging on residential roads around Broad Green and Selhurst, so we plan deliveries and waste removal carefully. Ground conditions vary across the London Borough of Croydon, and we adjust excavation depth and sub-base build-up to suit. Many front gardens have short runs and existing thresholds, so accurate falls and edging are essential. We also consider drainage requirements so the finished driveway performs well year-round.

In the Thornton Heath area, concrete driveways typically cost £50–£100 per square metre depending on the finish and preparation required. Standard concrete is usually the most cost-effective, while pattern imprinted, exposed aggregate or coloured concrete sit towards the upper end. For many CR7 homes, a typical total spend is around £2,000–£5,000, influenced by size, excavation, edging and any drainage details.
Most concrete driveway installations take 2–4 days from excavation to finishing, with curing time afterwards before heavy vehicle use. Timescales depend on driveway size, how much old material needs removing, access for machinery, and whether you choose pattern imprinted or exposed aggregate finishes. Weather can also affect pouring and curing. We’ll confirm a realistic schedule after surveying your site and discussing the finish you want.
Many driveway projects are permitted development, but rules can apply around surface water drainage, dropped kerbs, and any changes near the highway. In the London Borough of Croydon, it’s important that rainwater is managed correctly and not directed onto the pavement or road. We’ll talk you through the requirements, check the likely constraints for your property, and recommend compliant drainage solutions where needed.
Yes. We provide a 10-year warranty on our concrete driveway installations, covering workmanship-related issues such as settlement caused by inadequate base preparation, edge failure, and surface defects linked to installation. Normal wear, accidental damage, misuse (e.g., heavy plant or skips without protection), and issues caused by third-party alterations aren’t included. We’ll explain care guidance and curing times so your driveway performs as intended.
We offer standard concrete, brushed finish for extra grip, pattern imprinted concrete for a block or stone look, exposed aggregate for a textured decorative surface, and coloured concrete to complement brickwork and front gardens. We can also carry out repairs where sections have cracked or spalled. We’ll help you choose based on your home style, parking needs, slip resistance, and how much maintenance you want long term.
