Chislehurst homeowners expect driveways that look smart, drain properly and stand up to daily use. Whether you’re near Chislehurst Common or heading towards BR7, we design and install driveways that complement the frontage and improve kerb appeal. Our team delivers block paving, resin driveways, tarmac, gravel and concrete surfaces, plus repairs when an existing drive has sunk or cracked. We also plan falls and drainage so water doesn’t pool by the garage or front steps.
The Chislehurst area includes large detached houses, Victorian villas and characterful period properties, often with wider front gardens and mature planting. We regularly work on driveways where access needs to be kept tidy and disruption kept low, especially on family streets and near schools. If you’re in Elmstead, Mottingham or close to Sidcup, we’ll recommend a surface and edging detail that suits the style of the property and the amount of parking you need. Every design is measured to make turning and bay parking easier, not just to fill space.
We start with a site visit, levels check and a written specification covering excavation depth, sub-base build-up and drainage. Installations are completed by our in-house team, with careful compaction and clean edges to prevent spreading and rutting. You’ll get clear timescales, tidy working practices and a finish that’s built for UK weather. Local homeowners choose us because we do the groundwork properly and stand behind it with a 10-year warranty.
Driveways in the London Borough of Bromley often need thoughtful drainage to manage heavy rain and avoid runoff to the highway. In Chislehurst, we frequently encounter mature tree roots near boundaries and variable ground that benefits from a well-compacted sub-base. We plan access and parking so residents can still get in and out, particularly on narrower roads. Our approach suits BR7 properties where appearance matters as much as durability.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
Costs vary by size, access and groundwork, but typical guide ranges in Chislehurst are: gravel from £60–£110 per m², tarmac from £80–£140 per m², block paving from £110–£180 per m², resin bound from £120–£200 per m², and concrete from £90–£160 per m². Repairs can start from £250–£1,500+. We’ll confirm after a site survey and levels check.
Most driveway installations take 3–7 working days, depending on area, excavation depth and the surface chosen. Block paving and complex edging can take longer than tarmac or concrete, while resin bound needs suitable weather and curing time. If drainage channels, soakaways or a dropped kerb are required, allow extra time for groundworks and coordination. We provide a clear schedule before starting and keep you updated daily.
In many cases, a new or replaced driveway is permitted development, especially when using permeable surfacing or directing water to a permeable area within your boundary. Rules can change if you’re altering access onto the highway, creating a dropped kerb, or if your property has restrictions (such as conservation considerations). We’ll advise on compliant drainage (SUDS) and help you understand any Bromley council requirements before work begins.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our driveway installations, covering workmanship issues such as sub-base failure, significant settlement due to installation, and edge restraint problems (subject to normal use). Materials may also carry manufacturer warranties, depending on the product. The warranty doesn’t cover damage from heavy commercial vehicles, ground movement beyond our control, or poor maintenance. We explain aftercare clearly so your driveway stays looking its best.
For period properties and Victorian villas, block paving with contrasting borders and traditional setts is a popular choice. Resin bound is favoured for a clean, contemporary look with excellent permeability, while tarmac suits long drives and frequent vehicle use. Gravel can work well for larger frontages with the right stabilisation and edging. We’ll help you choose colours, patterns, kerb edging and drainage details to match the house and improve day-to-day parking.
