Catford’s mix of Victorian terraces, 1930s semis and ex-council properties often comes with tight access, sloping plots and shared boundaries.

Our driveway contractors Catford area team also handles sub-base upgrades where older surfaces have sunk or cracked.

As driveway contractors in London Borough of Lewisham, we plan around controlled parking, narrow roads and limited skips or deliveries. Catford plots can have variable ground and old made-up layers, so we assess dig depth and compaction carefully. We also set falls to manage surface water properly and advise on permeable options where needed. Materials and detailing are chosen to complement typical SE6 façades and boundary treatments.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
Costs in Catford vary by size, excavation depth, access and finish. As a guide, gravel driveways often start around £60–£100 per m², tarmac roughly £80–£120 per m², and block paving commonly £110–£180 per m². Resin-bound is typically £120–£200 per m², while concrete is often £90–£150 per m². Repairs, drainage and edging can affect totals significantly.
Most driveway installations take 3–7 working days, depending on area, material and ground conditions. A straightforward tarmac or gravel drive can be quicker, while block paving and resin systems may take longer due to base preparation and curing times. Timescales also change if we’re adding drainage channels, a new sub-base, or coordinating a dropped kerb. We confirm a realistic programme after the site survey.
Many driveway projects are permitted development, but rules often depend on surface water drainage and whether the front garden is being made impermeable. Using permeable paving or directing runoff to a suitable soakaway usually helps meet requirements. Dropped kerbs require approval and must be installed to the correct standards. We’ll advise on compliant options and check whether any permissions, restrictions or highways approvals apply before work starts.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for new driveway installations, covering issues such as sinking caused by inadequate sub-base preparation, edge failure and poor levels that lead to pooling. Materials may also carry manufacturer warranties, depending on the product chosen. The warranty assumes normal domestic use and proper care, and it doesn’t cover accidental damage or problems caused by third-party alterations. We explain coverage clearly in writing.
Block paving remains popular for Victorian terraces and 1930s semis, with charcoal borders and herringbone patterns for strength. Resin-bound suits homeowners wanting a smooth, contemporary finish with good permeability, while tarmac is practical for larger areas and frequent use. Gravel can be cost-effective with stabilisation grids, and concrete works well for clean, minimal designs. We help you choose colours, edging and drainage details to match your home and parking needs.
