From steep approaches near One Tree Hill to tighter frontages around Honor Oak Park station, a well-built driveway makes daily life easier and adds kerb appeal. We design and install driveways that handle South London weather, foot traffic and vehicle load without rutting or puddling. Whether you’re upgrading an old surface or creating new off-street parking, we’ll recommend the right construction and finish for your plot. We also cover nearby SE23 streets linking Forest Hill and Brockley.
Honor Oak’s mix of Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and 1930s semis often comes with compact front gardens, shared boundaries and level changes. We’re used to working with narrow access, protecting original brickwork, and creating tidy edging that complements period features. If your driveway sits on a slope, we’ll plan gradients, channels and falls to keep water moving safely away. The result is a driveway that looks considered, not bolted on.
Our process starts with a site visit, measurements and a clear written specification—sub-base depth, edging, drainage and finish. We excavate properly, install robust foundations, and compact in layers to reduce future sinking. You’ll get straightforward communication, clean working practices and a finish checked for levels and drainage performance. Local homeowners choose us for consistent workmanship backed by a 10-year warranty.
As driveway contractors in London Borough of Lewisham, we plan for hilly streets, changeable ground and the need for reliable surface water management. Parking and access can be limited near SE23 rail links, so we schedule deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption. Many properties have short front gardens and shared walls, so we use neat edging details and careful excavation methods. We also factor in practical turning space and bin access so the driveway works day to day.

Costs vary with size, access, excavation depth and drainage needs. As a guide in SE23, gravel driveways often start around £60–£110 per m², tarmac around £80–£140 per m², block paving around £110–£200 per m², and resin bound around £120–£220 per m². Concrete is commonly £90–£170 per m². Repairs and drainage are priced after inspection.
Most residential driveways take 3–7 working days from excavation to completion, depending on size and material. Block paving and complex edging can take longer than tarmac, while resin requires a stable base and suitable weather for laying. Timescales are also affected by access restrictions, removal of existing surfaces, and whether drainage channels or a dropped kerb are included. We confirm a realistic programme after the site survey.
Many driveway installations are permitted development, but rules can apply around surface water drainage and materials. If you’re creating or widening a driveway, you usually need to ensure water drains to a permeable area or appropriate system rather than the public highway. Dropped kerbs require approval from the relevant highways authority. We’ll advise on compliant options and can help you prepare the information needed before work starts.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our driveway installations, covering workmanship and installation-related defects such as settlement caused by inadequate sub-base preparation. It also includes issues arising from incorrect falls or poorly installed edging where these are part of our scope. Materials may carry separate manufacturer warranties depending on the product chosen. The warranty doesn’t cover accidental damage, misuse, or problems caused by third-party alterations.
Block paving is popular for Victorian and Edwardian homes, with charcoal borders and traditional patterns that suit period brickwork. Resin bound is chosen for a clean, modern look with a smooth finish and good permeability when correctly specified. Tarmac works well for practical, cost-effective driveways, while gravel suits lighter-use areas with stabilisation grids. We’ll help you choose colours, edging, steps and drainage details that fit your property and slope.
