If your driveway is cracked, sinking or simply dated, we provide a complete design-and-build service across Croydon. We regularly work around busy routes near East Croydon station and residential streets in South Croydon and Addiscombe. Whether you need a new parking space, safer access or a cleaner frontage, we’ll recommend the right surface and construction build-up. Expect a neat finish, clear communication and minimal disruption.
Croydon’s mix of Victorian terraces, 1930s semis and modern developments means no two driveways are the same. We design layouts that fit narrow front gardens, shared crossovers and sloping plots, while keeping turning circles practical. For period homes, we often match edging and colours to brickwork and boundary walls. For newer properties, we can create crisp contemporary lines with resin or large-format paving.
Our process starts with a site visit, levels check and a written quote with options. We excavate properly, install a stable sub-base, and build in drainage so water doesn’t pool by your doorstep. Every job is finished with careful compaction, clean cuts and tidy joints, then we remove waste and leave the site presentable. Local homeowners choose us because we turn up when we say we will and stand behind the workmanship.
We understand the practical challenges of working across the London Borough of Croydon, from tight access in CR0 streets to parking constraints near the Whitgift Centre. Ground conditions can vary, so we tailor excavation depth, sub-base type and compaction to suit the site. Where levels fall towards the house, we incorporate channel drains or permeable options to manage runoff. We also plan deliveries and spoil removal to keep disruption low for neighbours.

Costs vary by size, access, excavation depth and finish. As a guide, gravel is often £60–£110 per m², tarmac £80–£140 per m², block paving £110–£180 per m², and resin-bound £120–£200 per m². Concrete typically ranges £90–£160 per m². Repairs can start from a few hundred pounds, while full replacements usually run into several thousand.
Most driveway installations take 3–7 working days, depending on size and the surface chosen. A small tarmac or gravel drive can be quicker, while block paving and resin systems often take longer due to groundworks, edging, and curing times. Timescales are affected by access for machinery, disposal of excavated spoil, drainage requirements, and weather. We provide a realistic programme before starting.
In many cases, a new or replaced driveway is permitted development, especially when using permeable surfacing or directing water to a suitable drainage area within your boundary. Rules can change if you’re altering levels significantly, working near the highway, or your property is subject to restrictions. Dropped kerbs/crossovers usually require council approval. We’ll advise on compliance and help you choose a drainage-friendly specification.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for new driveway installations, covering issues such as sub-base failure, poor compaction, and installation-related movement. Materials may also carry manufacturer guarantees, depending on the product used. The warranty doesn’t cover accidental damage, misuse, or problems caused by third-party works after completion. We’ll explain what’s covered in writing and how to maintain your surface properly.
We offer block paving in a wide range of colours and patterns, resin-bound for a smooth modern look, tarmac for clean practicality, gravel for a traditional finish, and concrete for strength and simplicity. Popular upgrades include contrasting borders, soldier-course edging, recessed manhole covers, and step/threshold details. We’ll help you choose based on parking needs, drainage, style of your home, and long-term maintenance.
