Hayes (Bromley) has a semi-rural feel, with large commons and plenty of character homes. We regularly design driveways for large detached houses, period cottages and 1930s properties where proportions, levels and frontage details matter. Whether you’re in West Wickham, Bromley Common or near Keston, we tailor the entrance width, turning space and edging to suit how you actually use the drive. The result looks right for the property and performs well in all weather.
Our process starts with a site survey, levels check and a written specification so you know exactly what’s included. We excavate to the correct depth, install a solid sub-base, and finish with precise falls to manage surface water. Where needed, we add channel drains and soakaway solutions, and we keep the site safe and tidy throughout. Local homeowners choose us for straightforward communication, dependable scheduling and a 10-year warranty for peace of mind.
Front gardens around Hayes Common and West Common often have mature trees, mixed ground conditions and changing levels that affect drainage design. We plan access carefully for narrower drives and on-street parking, keeping disruption low. As driveway contractors in London Borough of Bromley, we also consider permeable surface requirements and practical runoff control. Every build is set out to complement local property styles while meeting day-to-day parking needs.

Costs vary by size, excavation depth, drainage needs and chosen finish. As a guide in the Hayes (Bromley) area, gravel driveways often start around £60–£110 per m², tarmac around £80–£140 per m², block paving around £110–£180 per m², and resin-bound around £120–£200 per m². Repairs can be from £250–£1,500+. We provide a written, itemised quote after a site visit.
Most domestic driveway installations take 3–7 working days, depending on size, access and the material chosen. Block paving can take longer due to edging, cutting and jointing, while tarmac is often quicker once the base is prepared. Drainage works, steps, retaining edges or a dropped kerb can add time. We’ll confirm a realistic schedule after surveying levels, waste removal requirements and curing times.
Many driveway projects are permitted development, but rules can apply to surface water runoff and materials. If you’re creating or replacing a front driveway over 5m², the surface usually needs to be permeable or drain to a soakaway within your property. Dropped kerbs require council approval and compliant construction. We’ll advise on the options, check constraints such as conservation considerations, and design drainage to meet requirements.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for new driveway installations, covering issues such as sinking caused by sub-base failure, edge movement and installation-related defects. Materials are also covered by relevant manufacturer guarantees where applicable (for example, resin systems). The warranty doesn’t cover damage from heavy commercial vehicles, ground movement outside our control, or neglect such as blocked drainage. We explain care guidance and keep records of the build specification.
For period cottages and larger detached homes, block paving with a contrasting border is a popular choice for a traditional look. Resin-bound is favoured for a smooth, modern finish with permeability, while tarmac suits long drives needing a clean, practical surface. Gravel works well for a softer, semi-rural feel near commons, especially with stabilisation grids. We help you choose colours, edging, patterns and drainage details to match your property and parking needs.
