A well-built driveway makes daily parking easier and improves kerb appeal for years. We design and install driveways across BR3, from Eden Park to New Beckenham, with finishes that complement the street. Whether you’re near Beckenham Junction station or walking distance to Kelsey Park, we’ll create an entrance that looks smart and performs in all weather. Expect tidy workmanship, clear communication and a driveway that feels like part of the property.
Beckenham’s leafy character and strong community feel come with a wide mix of homes, including Edwardian houses, 1930s semis and period conversions. We tailor driveway layouts to typical front garden depths, bay windows, and shared access points found locally. If you need more parking without losing greenery, we can blend planting edges with practical turning space. Our driveway contractors Beckenham area clients also ask for discreet drainage solutions to protect brickwork and thresholds.
We start with a site survey, levels check and a clear written specification so you know exactly what’s included. Sub-base preparation, compaction and drainage are treated as non-negotiables, not extras, and we keep disruption controlled with planned deliveries and waste removal. You’ll get workmanship backed by a 10-year warranty for peace of mind. Being only 15 minutes away means we’re responsive for questions, aftercare and any future repairs.
In the London Borough of Bromley, driveway rules and drainage expectations can affect material choices and water run-off. Beckenham streets often have limited parking and narrow access, so we plan deliveries, skips and working space carefully. Ground conditions and existing levels vary, especially around older properties, so we set falls and channel drains to move water away from buildings. We also match finishes to local styles, from Edwardian brickwork to 1930s render.

Costs vary by size, access and groundworks, but typical BR3 ranges are: gravel from £60–£110 per m², tarmac from £80–£140 per m², block paving from £110–£180 per m², and resin bound from £120–£200 per m². Concrete is often £90–£160 per m². Repairs can start from a few hundred pounds, while full replacements commonly run into several thousand.
Most driveway installations take 3–7 working days, depending on area, excavation depth and the chosen surface. Block paving and resin systems can take longer due to edging, laying patterns, curing times and weather. If we’re adding drainage, replacing the sub-base, or coordinating a dropped kerb, allow extra time. We’ll confirm a realistic schedule after the site survey and keep you updated daily.
Many driveways are permitted development, but rules often relate to surface water drainage. If you’re creating or replacing a front driveway over 5m², you usually need a permeable surface (such as resin bound or permeable block paving) or drainage to a suitable soakaway, not the highway. Dropped kerbs require council approval. We’ll advise on compliant options and help you avoid common pitfalls.
We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty on new driveway installations, covering issues such as sinking caused by inadequate sub-base preparation, failed edging, and installation-related drainage defects. Manufacturer guarantees may also apply to specific products (for example, resin systems or paving blocks), depending on the brand used. Repairs are covered based on the scope of work agreed. We’ll explain what’s included in writing before work begins.
Popular choices include block paving in charcoal or brindle tones for 1930s semis, resin bound gravel-look finishes for a clean, modern feel, and tarmac with neat block edging for durability. We also install gravel and concrete where budgets or styles suit. Design options include contrasting borders, step details, recessed manhole covers and integrated drainage channels. We’ll bring samples, discuss maintenance, and recommend a layout that fits parking needs and kerb appeal.
