Blackheath homeowners expect driveways that look refined and perform year-round. We install block paving, resin, tarmac, gravel and concrete driveways across SE3, with careful attention to levels and drainage. Whether you’re near Blackheath Common or around Blackheath Village, we’ll create an entrance that complements the street scene. We also handle driveway repairs and resurfacing when a full replacement isn’t necessary.
The area’s Georgian townhouses, Victorian villas and period conversions often come with tight frontages, mature trees and heritage detailing. Our driveway contractors Blackheath area team designs layouts that maximise parking without overpowering the façade. We match edging, kerb lines and colours to brickwork and railings, keeping the look appropriate for older properties. For homes in Greenwich, Lee and Kidbrooke, we tailor finishes to suit everything from formal terraces to wider plots.
We start with a site survey, discuss your preferred materials, then provide a clear written quotation. Every driveway is built on a properly prepared sub-base, with falls set for reliable runoff and long-term stability. If you need a dropped kerb, we can guide you through the process and coordinate the practical requirements. Homeowners choose us for tidy workmanship, straightforward communication and a 10-year warranty for peace of mind.
Working across the Royal Borough of Greenwich/London Borough of Lewisham means dealing with varied access, controlled parking and busy school-run streets. We plan deliveries and waste removal to keep disruption low, and we design turning areas where front gardens are shallow. Ground conditions can vary, so we adjust excavation depth and sub-base build-up accordingly. For properties near The Paragon and other period streets, we keep materials and edging sympathetic to the architecture.

Costs depend on size, excavation depth, access, drainage and finish. As a guide, gravel driveways often start around £70–£120 per m², tarmac roughly £90–£150 per m², block paving £120–£200 per m², resin bound £110–£190 per m², and concrete typically £100–£170 per m². Repairs can be from a few hundred pounds for patching to several thousand for partial rebuilds.
Most installations take 3–7 working days for a typical single to double driveway, including excavation, sub-base, edging and surfacing. Larger areas, complex patterns, steps, retaining edges or extensive drainage can extend this to 1–2 weeks. Resin and concrete may also need curing time before vehicles can use the surface. Weather and restricted access in SE3 streets can affect scheduling and deliveries.
Many driveway works are permitted development, but rules can apply to surface water drainage, the use of impermeable materials and changes to access. If you’re creating a new vehicle crossover or altering the kerb, you’ll usually need council approval for a dropped kerb. We advise on compliant options such as permeable block paving or resin bound with suitable sub-bases, and we’ll check requirements before work starts.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our driveway installations, covering workmanship issues such as sub-base failure, movement caused by poor preparation, and defects in laying or edging. The warranty terms depend on the chosen material and correct use of the driveway (for example, vehicle weight limits). Manufacturer guarantees may also apply to specific products. We’ll explain what’s covered in writing and how to maintain the surface.
For period properties, block paving with a charcoal border, tegula-style blocks, and sympathetic kerb edging are popular choices. Resin bound is often chosen for a clean, contemporary look with good permeability, while tarmac suits straightforward, durable parking areas. Gravel can work well where a softer finish is preferred, and concrete is ideal for crisp lines and strength. We’ll help you choose colours, patterns, edging and drainage details to suit your home and budget.
