If parking is tight around Lordship Lane or you want a cleaner frontage near Dulwich Park, a well-built driveway makes day-to-day life easier. We design and install driveways that look sharp, drain correctly and stand up to heavy use. From full replacements to targeted driveway repairs, we keep disruption low and workmanship high. We cover SE22 and nearby streets linking to Peckham Rye and Dulwich Village.
East Dulwich has plenty of Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and period conversions, often with compact front gardens and shared access constraints. We plan layouts that maximise parking without overwhelming the frontage, using edging and levels that complement brickwork and original boundary details. Where space is limited, we recommend permeable options and thoughtful turning areas to reduce tyre scuffs. Our team is based just 20 minutes away, so site visits and follow-ups are prompt.
We start with a measured survey, discuss your preferred finish, then provide a clear written quotation and programme. Every driveway is built on the right sub-base depth, with falls set for reliable drainage and long-term stability. We protect adjacent paving, walls and planting, and we leave the site clean at the end of each day. Homeowners choose us for straightforward communication, high-spec materials and a 10-year warranty for peace of mind.
Working across the London Borough of Southwark, we’re used to narrow streets, controlled parking and limited skip placement, so we plan deliveries and waste removal carefully. Many SE22 front gardens have existing steps, retaining walls or mature planting, which affects levels and access. We also account for local surface-water considerations by specifying permeable build-ups or compliant drainage channels. The result is a driveway that looks right for the street and performs well in wet weather.

Costs vary by size, access and the build-up needed, but typical East Dulwich budgets are: gravel from £70–£120 per m², tarmac from £90–£140 per m², block paving from £120–£200 per m², resin from £110–£180 per m², and concrete from £100–£170 per m². Repairs can start from a few hundred pounds. We survey and itemise costs so you can compare like-for-like.
Most domestic driveways take around 3–7 working days, depending on excavation depth, waste removal, edging, and the chosen surface. Block paving and complex patterns can take longer than tarmac, while resin needs a stable, well-prepared base and suitable weather. If drainage, steps or a dropped kerb are involved, allow extra time for coordination and curing. We provide a realistic programme before starting.
Many driveway projects are permitted development, but rules often depend on drainage and the amount of non-permeable surfacing in front gardens. Using permeable block paving, resin-bound systems, or appropriate drainage can help meet requirements. Dropped kerbs also need approval and must be installed to council specifications. We’ll advise on the best compliant approach for your property and can help you understand any permissions needed before work begins.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for new driveway installations, covering issues such as sinking caused by inadequate sub-base preparation, edge restraint movement, and drainage faults linked to our installation. Manufacturer warranties may also apply to specific products. The warranty doesn’t cover accidental damage, misuse, or problems caused by third-party alterations. We document the build-up and aftercare guidance so you know exactly what’s covered.
For SE22 period homes, block paving in charcoal, brindle or tumbled tones is popular, often with a contrasting border to suit brick façades. Resin-bound stone gives a clean, modern finish and works well for family-friendly, low-maintenance frontages. Tarmac is practical for larger areas, while gravel can suit traditional looks with stabilisation grids. We’ll help you choose colours, edging, drainage details and a layout that fits parking needs and complements the property.
