If parking is tight around the Tandem Centre or you want a cleaner frontage near Wandle Park, a well-built driveway makes day-to-day life easier. We design and install driveways that look sharp and perform in all weathers, with surfaces tailored to your budget and style. Our team handles everything from excavation to edging, drainage and final sealing. We also carry out driveway repairs to restore safety and kerb appeal without unnecessary replacement.
Colliers Wood has a mix of Victorian terraces, 1930s semis and newer apartment developments, each with different access and layout challenges. We regularly work on narrow front gardens, shared crossovers and sloped approaches where water management matters. Whether you need a single-car solution or a multi-vehicle layout, we plan turning space and levels carefully. Homeowners across SW19 appreciate finishes that complement brickwork, bay windows and modern façades alike.
We start with a site visit and measured quote, then confirm levels, falls and drainage before any digging begins. Sub-bases are built to specification, with clean edges and neat transitions to paths and thresholds. Where required, we can coordinate dropped kerbs and ensure surface water is managed correctly. Our workmanship is backed by clear paperwork, tidy working practices and a 10-year warranty for peace of mind.
As driveway contractors in London Borough of Merton, we’re used to busy streets, limited parking and tight access for skips and deliveries. Ground conditions can vary near the River Wandle, so we pay close attention to sub-base depth, compaction and drainage design. We also plan works to minimise disruption, especially where neighbours share boundaries or crossovers. If you’re in South Wimbledon, Tooting or Mitcham, we can usually reach you in around 10 minutes from our Norbury base.

Costs vary by size, access and specification. As a guide, gravel driveways often start around £70–£120 per m², tarmac around £90–£150 per m², block paving around £120–£200 per m², and resin-bound typically £140–£220 per m². Concrete is commonly £100–£180 per m² depending on finish. Repairs can be from a few hundred pounds, while full replacements are usually several thousand.
Most driveway installations take 3–7 working days, depending on area, excavation depth and the chosen surface. Block paving and resin systems can take longer due to edging, curing times and weather sensitivity. Tarmac is often faster once the base is prepared. Drainage channels, steps, retaining edges or complex patterns add time, as does restricted access on narrower streets. We’ll confirm a realistic programme before starting.
Many driveway works are permitted development, but rules can apply, especially around surface water. If you’re creating or enlarging a driveway, you may need to ensure water drains to a permeable area or suitable drainage system rather than the public sewer. Dropped kerbs typically require council approval and an authorised contractor. We’ll advise on compliance, drainage options and any permissions needed before work begins.
We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty on new driveway installations, covering issues caused by installation defects such as sinking from inadequate sub-base preparation or poor edging restraint. Materials may also come with manufacturer guarantees, depending on the product chosen (for example resin systems). The warranty doesn’t cover accidental damage, oil staining, or problems caused by third-party alterations. We explain care requirements and provide aftercare guidance.
Block paving remains popular for Victorian terraces and 1930s semis, with charcoal borders and herringbone patterns adding structure. Resin-bound is a favourite for a clean, modern look and permeability, while tarmac suits larger areas where durability matters. Gravel can work well with stabilisation grids for a tidy finish. We’ll help you choose colours, edging, lighting-ready ducting and drainage details to match your property and parking needs.
