A well-built driveway transforms parking, kerb appeal and day-to-day access—especially on the varied plots around Old Coulsdon and the lanes near Farthing Downs. We design and install driveways that suit your home and the way you use the space, whether that means extra bays, a turning area, or cleaner edges to keep gravel and mud contained. From first survey to final seal, our team keeps the site tidy and the workmanship precise. We cover CR5 with options to match both traditional and contemporary frontages.
Coulsdon’s mix of large detached houses, 1930s properties and newer developments calls for tailored driveway layouts. Wider front gardens can take multi-car block paving with contrasting borders, while sloping drives near downland routes often benefit from resin-bound surfacing for grip and neatness. For modern homes, clean tarmac lines or smooth concrete can look sharp and practical. We’ll recommend a finish that complements brickwork, render and existing paths, without overcomplicating the design.
Our process starts with a proper site assessment: levels, sub-base depth, falls and water run-off. We then install a strong foundation, set accurate edging, and finish the surface to manufacturer standards—followed by a clear handover and care guidance. Homeowners choose us for straightforward communication, reliable scheduling and workmanship you can see in the details. Every installation is backed by our 10-year warranty for long-term confidence.
As driveway contractors in the Coulsdon area, we’re used to sloping plots, mixed ground conditions and tight access on residential roads. We plan deliveries, skips and parking to minimise disruption, and we design falls and channels to manage heavy rainfall. We also work with requirements commonly seen across the London Borough of Croydon, including permeable surfacing considerations. The result is a driveway that suits the property and performs year-round.

Costs vary by size, excavation depth, access and the finish you choose. As a guide, gravel driveways often start around £60–£100 per m², tarmac around £80–£130 per m², block paving around £110–£180 per m², and resin-bound typically £120–£200 per m². Repairs can be from a few hundred pounds, while full replacements are priced after a site survey in CR5.
Most driveway installations take around 3–7 working days, depending on size and complexity. A straightforward tarmac or gravel drive can be quicker, while block paving and detailed edging usually take longer. Timescales are affected by excavation requirements, waste removal, access for machinery, and weather. If drainage upgrades or a dropped kerb are included, we’ll factor in any additional lead times and keep you updated throughout.
Many driveway projects are permitted development, but rules can apply—especially around drainage and surface water. If you’re creating or enlarging a driveway, using a permeable surface or directing water to a suitable soakaway is often required rather than running onto the highway. Dropped kerbs also need the correct approvals. As driveway contractors in London Borough of Croydon, we’ll advise on compliant options and help you navigate requirements.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our driveway installations, covering workmanship issues such as sinking caused by inadequate sub-base preparation, loose edging, or surface failures linked to installation. Materials are installed to manufacturer guidance, and where products include their own guarantees, we’ll pass those details on. The warranty doesn’t cover accidental damage, misuse, or problems caused by third-party alterations, but we’re always happy to inspect and advise.
We install block paving (including herringbone patterns and contrasting borders), resin-bound driveways for a smooth, permeable finish, durable tarmac, practical gravel with stabilisation options, and clean-lined concrete. Design choices include step-ups for slopes, recessed manhole covers, lighting-ready edging and integrated drainage channels. We’ll help you choose colours and textures that suit your home—whether it’s a 1930s property or a modern development—and match paths and entrances for a cohesive look.
