A well-built driveway makes daily parking easier and lifts kerb appeal straight away. We design and install driveways across SE13 and nearby streets around Lewisham station and Lewisham Shopping Centre, with finishes that suit both period homes and newer builds. Whether you need a fresh surface, better drainage, or a safer dropped kerb, we handle the job end-to-end. Expect tidy workmanship, clear communication, and a driveway that performs in all weathers.
Lewisham’s mix of Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and modern developments means every driveway needs a tailored approach. In Blackheath and Ladywell, we often create sympathetic block paving patterns and neat edging to match traditional frontages. Around newer developments, resin-bound or smooth tarmac can provide a clean, low-maintenance look. We also plan for practicalities like bin access, bike storage and turning space where plots are tight.
We start with a site visit to measure levels, check sub-base condition and confirm falls for surface water. You’ll receive a written specification covering excavation depth, materials, edging and drainage solutions, so there are no surprises. Our team protects pathways, keeps the site organised, and works to an agreed schedule. Local homeowners choose us for consistent quality, transparent advice, and our 10-year workmanship warranty.
As driveway contractors in London Borough of Lewisham, we’re used to busy roads, restricted parking and narrow access, especially near Lewisham station and the A20 routes. Ground conditions can vary, so we assess load-bearing and specify the right sub-base and geotextiles where needed. We also design falls and channel drains to manage runoff towards compliant drainage points. If a dropped kerb is required, we’ll advise on the council process and practical access widths.

Costs depend on size, excavation depth, access and the finish you choose. As a guide in Lewisham, gravel driveways often start around £70–£120 per m², tarmac typically £90–£160 per m², block paving £120–£220 per m², and resin-bound usually £140–£260 per m². Repairs can be from a few hundred pounds, while full replacements vary widely. We provide a detailed, itemised quote after a survey.
Most driveway installations take 3–7 working days, depending on area, excavation, edging and drainage. A small resin or tarmac driveway may be completed in 2–4 days, while block paving can take 5–10 days due to laying patterns and jointing. Timescales can change with poor ground, restricted access, or if a dropped kerb is needed. We confirm a schedule before starting and keep you updated throughout.
Many driveway projects are permitted development, but rules often relate to surface water drainage and the use of permeable materials. If you’re creating a new hardstanding, altering levels significantly, or working near a boundary wall, extra checks may be needed. Dropped kerbs are typically controlled by the council and require approval. We’ll advise on SUDS-compliant options and help you understand what permissions, if any, apply to your property.
We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty on our driveway installations, covering issues linked to installation quality such as sinking caused by inadequate sub-base preparation, edge restraint failure, and drainage faults where included in the specification. Material warranties can vary by manufacturer (for example, resin and sealers), and we’ll explain these clearly. Regular maintenance, correct use, and avoiding excessive loads help keep your driveway performing at its best.
Homeowners often choose block paving for character properties, with herringbone or basketweave patterns and contrasting borders. Resin-bound is popular for a modern, seamless look and good permeability, while tarmac offers a clean, practical finish for larger parking areas. Gravel can suit traditional front gardens when stabilised with grids, and concrete works well for crisp, low-fuss layouts. We’ll help you match colours, edging and drainage to your home and budget.
