If parking and kerb appeal matter, a well-built driveway makes daily life easier in SW5.

Choose from block paving, resin, tarmac, gravel or concrete, with proper edging and falls. We also handle driveway repairs, drainage upgrades and dropped kerbs where required.
Earl's Court features Victorian mansion conversions, period flats and garden square properties, often with compact frontages and shared access. Our driveway contractors Earl's Court area team plans layouts to maximise usable space without compromising access or sightlines. We match materials and colours to brickwork, railings and traditional boundary details common in Kensington and West Brompton. Where parking is tight, we prioritise clean turning angles and robust sub-bases.
We start with a site visit to assess levels, drainage routes and the condition of the existing base. You’ll receive a clear specification covering excavation depth, sub-base build-up, edging, and surface finish, then a tidy, scheduled installation. Every driveway is finished with correct falls and compliant drainage to reduce puddling and damp risks. Local homeowners choose us for consistent workmanship, clear communication and a 10-year warranty.
Working in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea often means tight access, controlled parking and careful waste removal planning. We schedule deliveries to minimise disruption and keep pathways safe for residents in mansion blocks. Ground levels and older front gardens can be uneven, so we set accurate falls and integrate channel drains or permeable surfaces where needed. Finishes are chosen to complement period detailing while meeting practical parking needs.

Most driveway installations take around 3–7 working days, depending on area and complexity. A small front drive in SW5 may be completed in 2–4 days, while larger builds with extensive excavation, drainage and edging can take 1–2 weeks. Weather, access restrictions, curing times (especially for concrete), and any dropped kerb coordination can extend the programme. We provide a clear schedule before work starts.
Many driveway works are permitted development, but rules can apply to drainage and surface water. If you’re creating a new or enlarged driveway, you’ll usually need a permeable surface or suitable drainage so water doesn’t run onto the highway. Dropped kerbs require council approval and an authorised contractor route. We’ll check the relevant requirements for your address and specify compliant materials and drainage.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our driveway installations, covering workmanship issues such as sub-base failure, sinking, and problems caused by incorrect installation. Materials may also carry manufacturer warranties, depending on the product chosen (for example, resin systems or paving blocks). The warranty doesn’t cover accidental damage, misuse, or issues caused by third-party alterations. We also offer aftercare guidance to keep surfaces looking their best.
For Victorian and mansion-block frontages, block paving in traditional tones, resin-bound in neutral aggregates, and clean-edged tarmac with contrasting borders are popular choices. Gravel can suit garden square properties when stabilised with grids and solid edging. We’ll help you choose colours, patterns and kerb details to complement railings and brickwork, then design levels and drainage to suit your site. Samples and layout options are provided before installation.
