A smart driveway makes a strong first impression in Holland Park, especially around Holland Park and the Design Museum. We design and build driveways that suit the area’s architecture while improving access, parking and drainage. From new installations to targeted driveway repairs, we focus on crisp edges, tidy falls and a finish that looks right from day one. We work across W11 and W14 with minimal disruption.
The local streets feature large Victorian houses, mansion conversions and other period properties, often with tight front gardens and established planting. Our team plans levels carefully to protect thresholds, basement lightwells and original boundary details. Whether you need a refined resin surface or traditional block paving to complement brick façades, we match materials and patterns to the property. We also advise on practical layouts for multiple vehicles without sacrificing character.
We start with a site survey, discuss design options, then provide a detailed written quote covering excavation, sub-base, edging, drainage and finish. Every job is built on proper ground preparation, with neat detailing and reliable waste removal. Homeowners choose us for clear communication, punctual crews and workmanship backed by a 10-year warranty. If a dropped kerb is required, we can guide the process and coordinate the groundwork.
Working in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea often means restricted parking, narrow access and careful scheduling for deliveries and skips. We plan logistics in advance and keep sites tidy to suit residential streets near Kensington and Notting Hill. Ground conditions and mature tree roots can affect excavation depth and drainage falls, so we adjust the build-up and channel placement accordingly. Our finishes are chosen to complement period façades while meeting practical day-to-day needs.

Costs vary by size, access and the amount of excavation needed. As a guide, gravel driveways often start around £80–£140 per m², tarmac around £90–£160 per m², block paving typically £120–£220 per m², and resin bound commonly £140–£260 per m². Concrete can range from £110–£200 per m². Repairs and drainage works are usually priced after inspection.
Most driveway installations take 3–7 working days, depending on area, material and groundwork. A small resin or tarmac driveway can be quicker, while block paving may take longer due to laying patterns and edging. Timescales are affected by excavation depth, skip access, drainage requirements and curing time (especially for concrete). We provide a programme before starting and keep you updated if weather impacts progress.
Many driveway works are permitted development, but rules can apply to drainage and surface water. If you’re creating or replacing a front driveway over 5m², the surface should usually be permeable or drain to a suitable area within your property rather than the highway. Dropped kerbs require council approval and an authorised contractor for the crossover. We’ll advise on compliance and design drainage to meet requirements.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for new driveways, covering issues such as settlement caused by inadequate sub-base preparation, edging failures and installation defects. Material warranties may also apply depending on the product chosen (for example, resin systems). The warranty doesn’t cover damage from third-party works, oil spills, or extreme events, but we’re always available to inspect concerns and recommend practical remedies.
For period homes, block paving in traditional colours, charcoal borders and herringbone patterns are popular. Resin bound is chosen for a clean, contemporary look and excellent permeability, while tarmac suits straightforward, durable parking areas. Gravel works well for classic façades when stabilised with grids and tidy edging. We help you choose finishes, edging, steps and drainage details that complement the property and meet day-to-day parking needs.
