From Carshalton Ponds to Carshalton Beeches, homeowners want driveways that look smart and cope with everyday use. We design and install block paving, resin, tarmac, gravel and concrete driveways tailored to your frontage and parking needs. If your surface is tired or sinking, we also handle driveway repairs, edging and resurfacing. Work is planned around access so you’re not left stranded.
Carshalton’s mix of Victorian and Edwardian houses, 1930s semis and other period properties often comes with narrow side access and short front gardens. We regularly work across SM5, including Hackbridge and Wallington, where parking space and turning room matter. Our team matches materials and colours to brickwork, bay windows and boundary walls for a cohesive look. We also consider gradients and thresholds so doors, paths and garages stay practical.
You’ll get a clear, itemised quotation, a written schedule and a dedicated site lead from start to finish. We excavate to the correct depth, install a robust sub-base, and finish with precise levels and clean edges. Drainage is designed in from day one, with permeable options where suitable. Local homeowners choose us for tidy workmanship, reliable communication and a 10-year warranty for peace of mind.
As driveway contractors in London Borough of Sutton, we’re used to tight parking, school-run traffic and limited on-street space, so we plan deliveries and skips carefully. Ground conditions can vary, so we assess existing make-up and specify the right sub-base and compaction. We also design falls and channels to direct water away from buildings and public footways. If a dropped kerb is needed, we’ll advise on the correct approach and documentation.

Costs depend on size, excavation depth, access and the finish you choose. As a guide in Carshalton, gravel is often £60–£110 per m², tarmac £80–£140 per m², block paving £110–£180 per m², and resin-bound £120–£200 per m². Concrete can range from £90–£160 per m². Drainage, edging, steps and repairs are priced after a site survey.
Most driveways take around 3–7 working days from excavation to final finish, depending on size and complexity. Block paving and resin installations can take longer if extensive groundworks, drainage channels or kerb lines are required. Weather, access for machinery, and curing times (especially for concrete) also affect the schedule. We provide a realistic programme and keep you updated if conditions on site change.
Many driveway projects are permitted development, but rules can apply around surface water drainage and changes to access. If you’re creating a new or larger hardstanding at the front, using permeable materials or directing water to a suitable soakaway is usually required. Dropped kerbs involve council approval and specific construction standards. We’ll advise on compliance and help you choose a design that meets Sutton’s requirements.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for new driveway installations, covering issues such as sub-base failure, settlement caused by installation defects, and edge restraint movement. Materials are also covered by relevant manufacturer guarantees where applicable (for example, resin systems). The warranty excludes damage from misuse, oil spills left untreated, or ground movement outside our control. We’ll explain what’s covered in writing before work starts.
Block paving remains a favourite for Victorian and Edwardian frontages, with charcoal borders and traditional brindle tones. Resin-bound is popular for a clean, modern look and a smooth finish, while tarmac suits larger parking areas with neat edging. Gravel works well for a softer, period feel when properly stabilised. We’ll help you choose colours, patterns, edging and drainage details to match your home and budget.
