Chelsea homes demand driveways that look refined and perform flawlessly in all seasons. Whether you’re near King’s Road or close to Stamford Bridge, we build surfaces that complement the streetscape and improve day-to-day parking. Our team installs block paving, resin, tarmac, gravel and concrete driveways, plus repairs where existing surfaces have sunk or cracked. We also handle drainage upgrades to reduce standing water and protect your frontage.
In SW3 and SW10 you’ll often see Georgian townhouses, Victorian mansions and luxury apartments with limited frontage and strict visual expectations. We design driveways that suit period brickwork, wrought iron railings and high-end façades, keeping lines crisp and materials sympathetic. For mews-style access and narrow entrances, we plan turning space, edging and levels carefully. If your property sits on a slope or has a basement lightwell nearby, we factor this into falls and drainage from the outset.
Our process starts with a site survey, levels check and clear written specification, so you know exactly what’s included. We excavate properly, install a stable sub-base, and finish with precise compaction and edging to prevent movement. Every project includes tidy site management, clear communication and aftercare advice for long-term performance. Local homeowners choose us for consistent workmanship, transparent options and a 10-year warranty for peace of mind.
Working in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea means careful planning around parking controls, deliveries and access restrictions. We schedule works to minimise disruption and keep walkways safe and clean. Many Chelsea frontages have tight boundaries, mature planting and heritage detailing, so we protect features and match materials thoughtfully. We also design drainage and falls to cope with heavy rainfall and reduce runoff towards your home.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
Costs in Chelsea vary with access, excavation depth, drainage needs and finish. As a guide, gravel driveways often start around £80–£140 per m², tarmac around £90–£160 per m², block paving around £120–£220 per m², and resin-bound around £130–£240 per m². Concrete is typically £110–£200 per m². Repairs and drainage works are priced after inspection and can be cost-effective compared with full replacement.
Most driveway installations take 3–7 working days, depending on size and the chosen surface. Resin and tarmac can be quicker once the base is prepared, while block paving usually takes longer due to detailed laying and cutting. Timescales are affected by excavation, waste removal, drainage channels, steps or walls, and restricted access common around SW3 and SW10. We provide a realistic programme before starting and keep you updated daily.
Many driveway replacements are permitted development, but rules can apply to drainage, materials and changes to access. If you’re creating a new driveway onto the road, a dropped kerb (vehicle crossover) usually requires council permission and an approved contractor process. Permeable surfacing or compliant drainage is often needed to manage runoff. We check the relevant requirements for your address and advise on the best compliant approach before work begins.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for new driveways, covering issues such as settlement caused by inadequate base preparation, edge failure and installation defects. Materials may also carry manufacturer warranties, depending on the product selected. The warranty does not cover accidental damage, oil staining, or movement caused by third-party works or underlying utility issues. We also give maintenance guidance to help your driveway keep its finish and performance long-term.
Chelsea homeowners often choose block paving for a classic look, resin-bound for a smooth, contemporary finish, and tarmac for clean practicality with smart edging. Gravel can suit period properties when stabilised properly, and concrete works well for minimalist designs or patterned finishes. We can incorporate contrasting borders, soldier courses, recessed drainage channels and lighting-ready ducting. We’ll recommend colours and textures that complement brickwork, stone steps and railings typical of the area.
