Bayswater homes demand driveways that look sharp and work hard, especially with busy streets around Queensway and the constant footfall near Whiteleys. We build and upgrade driveways that improve parking, kerb appeal and day-to-day access. From resin-bound surfaces to traditional block paving, our finishes are chosen to complement local architecture. Every job starts with a clear plan for levels, edging and water run-off.
The Bayswater property mix—stucco townhouses, mansion conversions and period flats—often comes with tight front gardens, basement lightwells and shared access. We’re used to working with restricted widths, careful thresholds and heritage-sensitive detailing. If you’re near Kensington Gardens or closer to Paddington, we can tailor the layout to maximise usable space without making the frontage feel cramped. Our team also advises on materials that stay looking smart with London traffic dust and shade from mature trees.
We begin with a site survey, discuss how you use the space, then provide a detailed written quotation. Groundworks are handled properly: excavation depth, sub-base build-up, compaction and falls for drainage. We keep disruption controlled with tidy storage, clear communication and a defined programme. Homeowners choose us for consistent workmanship, transparent pricing and a 10-year warranty on qualifying installations.
Working in the City of Westminster means factoring in controlled parking, limited loading space and neighbour access. In W2, we often encounter older surfaces with mixed sub-bases and shallow falls that cause puddling. We design levels carefully to protect thresholds and manage run-off with channel drains or permeable options. Our approach suits Bayswater’s period façades while meeting practical demands of daily parking.

Costs in Bayswater vary by size, excavation needs and finish. As a guide, gravel is often £60–£120 per m², tarmac £80–£140 per m², block paving £110–£180 per m², resin-bound £120–£200 per m², and concrete £90–£160 per m². Repairs can start from a few hundred pounds, while full rebuilds typically run into several thousand depending on access and drainage.
Most driveway installations take 3–7 working days, depending on area, ground conditions and the chosen material. Block paving and complex edging can take longer, while tarmac can be quicker once the base is prepared. Resin-bound usually needs a well-built base and dry weather for laying. Restricted access, skip permits, drainage upgrades and dropped kerb coordination can also extend the programme.
Many driveway works are permitted development, but rules can apply in the City of Westminster, especially for drainage and changes to access. If you’re creating or widening a driveway, you may need a vehicle crossover (dropped kerb) approval. Non-permeable surfacing over certain areas can require planning unless suitable drainage is provided. We advise on compliant options and help you understand what consents are needed before work starts.
We provide a 10-year warranty on qualifying new driveway installations, covering workmanship-related issues such as sinking caused by inadequate sub-base preparation, edge restraint failure and drainage falls not performing as specified. Manufacturer warranties may also apply to certain products. Repairs are warranted based on scope and condition of the existing base. We’ll explain exactly what’s covered in writing before you approve the work.
In Bayswater, resin-bound stone is popular for a clean, contemporary look that suits period façades, while block paving works well for traditional detailing and patterned borders. Tarmac with a block edge is a practical choice for frequent use, and gravel can suit smaller frontages if stabilised properly. We’ll help you choose colours, edging and drainage solutions to match stucco frontages and maximise parking without compromising access.
