If your frontage needs smarter parking or a cleaner look, we design and build driveways that suit Elmers End’s streets and daily traffic. From homes near Elmers End station to properties by South Norwood Country Park, we install surfaces that are neat, durable and easy to maintain. We also tackle common issues such as puddling, crumbling edges and uneven levels. Every project starts with a clear plan for access, drainage and finish.
Elmers End has a mix of Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and 1930s semis, often with short front gardens and shared boundaries. That means careful setting-out, tidy edges and sensible falls are essential to avoid water running toward the house. We regularly work across BR3 and nearby Beckenham, adapting designs to suit existing brickwork, bay windows and period detailing. Where space is tight, we can optimise turning circles and parking layout without making the frontage feel overbuilt.
Our process is straightforward: survey, design options, itemised quote, then a scheduled build with daily site tidy-ups. We excavate properly, install a stable sub-base, and finish with accurate levels and drainage where needed. Homeowners choose us for reliable communication, workmanship you can inspect at each stage, and a clean handover. All installations are backed by a 10-year warranty for peace of mind.
As driveway contractors in London Borough of Bromley, we account for typical clay-heavy ground and the need for strong sub-bases and controlled drainage. Many roads around the Croydon Tramlink have busy parking and limited access, so we plan deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption. We also consider boundary lines, shared crossovers and sightlines when creating or widening entrances. Where required, we advise on dropped kerb applications and compliant gradients.

Costs vary by size, excavation depth and finish. As a guide in BR3, gravel driveways often start around £70–£120 per m², tarmac around £90–£140 per m², block paving around £110–£180 per m², and resin-bound around £120–£200 per m². Concrete is typically £100–£170 per m². Drainage channels, steps, walls and repairs can add to the total.
Most driveways take 3–7 working days, depending on size, access and the amount of excavation required. A straightforward tarmac or gravel install can be quicker, while block paving and detailed edging usually take longer. Resin-bound often needs a well-prepared base and suitable weather for laying. Drainage works, dropped kerb coordination, and curing times for concrete can also extend the schedule.
Many driveway installations are permitted development, but rules commonly focus on surface water drainage. If you’re creating or replacing a front driveway over 5m², you’ll typically need a permeable surface or to direct runoff to a permeable area within your property. Dropped kerbs are handled through the council/highways process. We check the requirements, recommend SuDS-compliant options, and help you avoid costly mistakes.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our driveway installations, covering workmanship issues such as sinking caused by inadequate sub-base preparation, edge failure, and drainage defects linked to our installation. Materials are also covered by manufacturer warranties where applicable (for example, resin systems). The warranty doesn’t cover accidental damage, oil spills, or problems caused by third-party alterations. We’ll explain what’s included before work starts.
We install block paving in a range of colours and patterns (herringbone is popular for strength), resin-bound for a smooth, contemporary finish, and tarmac for a clean, cost-effective surface. Gravel suits traditional frontages and can be stabilised with grids. Concrete can be finished with brushed or patterned textures. We’ll help you choose edging, kerb lines, steps and drainage details to suit your home and parking needs.
