A well-built driveway makes daily parking easier and instantly improves the look of your frontage. Our team works across SW11 and SW8, including around Battersea Park and the Battersea Power Station redevelopment. Whether you want a new resin surface, smart block paving, or a robust tarmac drive, we design it to suit your property and usage. We also resolve common issues such as pooling water and crumbling edges.
Battersea’s mix of Victorian terraces, mansion blocks and luxury new builds calls for tailored driveway design. In Nine Elms and near Clapham Junction, access and parking restrictions can influence how we schedule deliveries and waste removal. We match materials and detailing to the building style—subtle borders for period brickwork, cleaner lines for contemporary façades. The result is a driveway that looks intentional, not off-the-shelf.
We start with a site survey, levels check and drainage plan, then provide a written specification so you know exactly what’s included. Our builds use correct sub-base depths, edge restraints and falls to protect against rutting and standing water. Homeowners choose us for reliable communication, tidy working practices and consistent quality control from start to finish. Every installation is completed to a high standard and backed by a clear warranty.
As driveway contractors in the Battersea area, we plan around tight streets, controlled parking zones and delivery access, especially near Queenstown and Nine Elms. Ground conditions and existing levels can vary between older terraces and newer developments, so we survey carefully before excavation. We also consider surface water requirements and help ensure permeable options are used where needed. For projects involving a crossover, we can advise on dropped kerb steps for the London Borough of Wandsworth.

Costs in Battersea vary by size, access and the build-up required. As a guide, gravel is often £60–£110 per m², tarmac £80–£140 per m², block paving £120–£200 per m², and resin £120–£220 per m². Concrete typically falls around £90–£160 per m². Repairs can start from £250–£1,500+, while drainage and kerb works add depending on scope.
Most driveways take 3–7 working days from excavation to completion, depending on size and the chosen finish. Block paving can take longer due to laying patterns and edging, while tarmac is often quicker once the base is prepared. Resin usually needs a well-prepared base and suitable weather for curing. Access constraints around SW11/SW8, waste removal, and any drainage or dropped kerb work can extend timelines.
Many driveway installations are permitted development, but rules can apply to drainage and surface water. If you’re creating or replacing a front driveway over 5m², using a permeable surface or directing water to a suitable soakaway is often required. Dropped kerbs (vehicle crossovers) typically need council approval. We’ll advise on compliant materials, levels and drainage, and we can help you understand the Wandsworth process before work begins.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for new driveway installations, covering issues such as sinking caused by incorrect sub-base preparation, edge failure, and defects linked to installation standards. Materials may also carry manufacturer guarantees, depending on the product chosen. The warranty doesn’t cover accidental damage, misuse, or problems caused by third-party alterations or underlying issues outside the agreed scope. We also offer aftercare guidance to keep the surface looking its best.
Popular choices include block paving with contrasting borders for Victorian terraces, resin driveways for a clean, modern look, and tarmac for durable, cost-effective parking. Gravel works well where a softer, traditional finish suits the frontage, while concrete can be finished with brushed or patterned textures. We’ll help you choose colours, edging, steps and lighting allowances, and we’ll design falls and drainage so the driveway performs as well as it looks.
