A well-built driveway makes daily parking easier and lifts kerb appeal straight away. We install and repair driveways across SE24, with many projects near Brockwell Park and routes leading to Herne Hill station. Whether you want a clean resin finish or traditional block paving, we design layouts that look right with period streetscapes. Every build starts with a clear plan for levels, falls and water run-off.
Herne Hill’s Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and period conversions often have tight front gardens and shared boundaries. That means careful setting-out, neat edging and considerate waste removal matter as much as the surface itself. We’re a 15-minute run from site, so surveys, follow-ups and snagging are handled quickly. If you’re in nearby Dulwich, Brixton or Tulse Hill, we can match materials and patterns to neighbouring properties for a cohesive look.
Our process is straightforward: site survey, written specification, excavation to the correct depth, sub-base installation, then the chosen surface laid to manufacturer standards. We prioritise robust drainage solutions and permeable options where appropriate to reduce puddling and help meet SuDS guidance. Work is scheduled to maintain safe access wherever possible, and we keep you updated day-by-day. Homeowners choose us for workmanship, clean sites, and a 10-year warranty for peace of mind.
Working across the London Borough of Lambeth/Southwark, we’re used to narrow streets, controlled parking and limited skip space around SE24. Many front gardens sit above pavement level, so we set accurate falls and install channel drains where needed. We also account for tree roots and clay-heavy ground that can move if the base isn’t built correctly. Our team plans deliveries and waste collection to keep neighbours and access routes manageable.

Costs in Herne Hill vary by size, access and specification. 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 can range £90–£160 per m² depending on finish. Repairs are usually priced after inspection, especially if drainage or sub-base issues are involved.
Most driveway installations take around 3–7 working days, depending on area, excavation depth and the surface chosen. Block paving can take longer due to laying patterns and cutting, while tarmac is typically quicker once the base is prepared. Resin-bound needs suitable weather and a well-prepared base. Timings can also change with access restrictions, waste removal logistics, and any drainage or dropped kerb works.
Many driveway upgrades are permitted development, particularly when using permeable surfaces or directing water to a suitable soakaway within your property. However, rules can change for non-permeable surfacing, alterations to levels, or works affecting the public pavement such as a dropped kerb. Conservation areas and listed buildings may have extra requirements. We’ll advise on compliant drainage and help you check Lambeth or Southwark guidance before work starts.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for new driveway installations, covering issues such as sinking caused by sub-base failure, poor compaction, or defective laying. Materials may also carry manufacturer warranties, depending on product and supplier. The warranty doesn’t cover accidental damage, oil staining, or problems caused by third-party alterations or heavy vehicles beyond the driveway’s design load. We also offer aftercare guidance to keep surfaces looking their best.
For period homes in Herne Hill, block paving in charcoal and brindle tones is popular, often with a contrasting border. Resin-bound is chosen for its smooth finish and permeability, while tarmac suits larger areas with crisp edging. Gravel works well for a softer look, especially with stabilisation grids to reduce migration. We’ll help you choose colours, patterns, edging and drainage details that complement Victorian and Edwardian façades and improve day-to-day parking.
