If your frontage is tired, uneven or hard to park on, we can transform it with a driveway built to last. We install block paving, resin, tarmac, gravel and concrete driveways for homes around Cheam Village and SM2/SM3. From clean edging lines to smart kerb appeal, every detail is planned for daily use. We also handle repairs and upgrades where an existing drive can be saved.
Cheam’s mix of period cottages, 1930s houses and executive homes calls for tailored design rather than one-size-fits-all surfacing. We match colours, borders and patterns to brickwork, bay windows and garden walls, keeping the look in step with the conservation area character. For wider plots and multi-car parking, we design turning space and clear pedestrian routes. Our driveway contractors Cheam area clients value finishes that feel original to the property, not bolted on.
We start with a site visit, levels check and a clear written specification covering excavation, sub-base, edging and drainage. Work is scheduled to minimise disruption, with safe access maintained wherever possible. You’ll get straightforward updates, tidy workmanship and a finish that performs in wet weather. Local homeowners choose us for reliable timelines, skilled installation and a 10-year warranty for peace of mind.
Access and parking can be tight near Cheam Recreation Ground and older streets, so we plan deliveries, waste removal and safe walkways carefully. Ground conditions vary, so we adjust excavation depth and sub-base build-up to suit the site and intended loading. We also design falls and channel drains to manage run-off, helping you stay compliant with local requirements. As driveway contractors in London Borough of Sutton, we’re used to working neatly around mature hedges, walls and existing services.

Costs depend on size, groundworks and the finish you choose. As a guide in Cheam, gravel driveways often start around £70–£110 per m², tarmac around £80–£130 per m², block paving typically £110–£180 per m², and resin bound around £120–£200 per m². Repairs can range from a few hundred pounds to several thousand for larger areas. We provide a detailed, itemised quote after surveying.
Most driveway installations take 3–7 working days, depending on area size, excavation depth, edging and drainage. Block paving and complex patterns can take longer than tarmac or resin, and poor ground may require extra sub-base work. Weather can affect curing times, especially for concrete and resin systems. We’ll confirm a realistic programme after the site visit and keep you updated if anything changes.
Many driveway projects are permitted development, but rules can apply to surface water drainage and properties in conservation areas. If you’re replacing a front garden with an impermeable surface, you may need a permeable solution or suitable drainage to a soakaway. Dropped kerbs require council approval and must be installed to the required standard. We’ll advise on the best compliant approach and check constraints before work starts.
Yes. Our driveway installations come with a 10-year warranty covering workmanship, including issues such as settlement caused by inadequate sub-base preparation, edge restraint movement, and drainage faults related to our installation. Material warranties may also apply depending on the product used (for example, resin systems). The warranty is valid provided the driveway is used as intended and maintained sensibly. We explain what’s covered in writing before you proceed.
In Cheam, block paving remains popular for 1930s homes, especially with contrasting borders and traditional patterns. Resin bound is a favourite for executive homes thanks to its clean look and permeability, while tarmac suits larger driveways needing a crisp, practical finish. Gravel works well for period cottages when paired with solid edging and stabilisation. We help you choose colours, edging, lighting-ready layouts and drainage details to suit your property and budget.
