From SE14 streets near New Cross station to homes around Telegraph Hill, we build driveways that look sharp and perform in all weathers. Our team designs and installs block paving, resin, tarmac, gravel and concrete driveways to match your property and parking needs. If your existing surface is sinking, cracking or puddling, we also handle driveway repairs and drainage upgrades. Every project starts with a clear plan and a written scope of works.
New Cross has a mix of Victorian terraces, Georgian houses and converted flats, often with tight frontages and shared access considerations. We regularly work across Deptford and Brockley, where kerb heights, levels and thresholds can be tricky on older plots. Our local experience helps us set correct falls, protect brickwork and manage waste removal without disrupting neighbours. The result is a driveway that complements the building and improves day-to-day parking.
We begin with a site survey, measure levels, and recommend the right sub-base and surface for your usage. Installation is carried out by an in-house crew with careful edging, compaction and drainage detailing to reduce future movement. You’ll get straightforward communication, tidy working practices and a handover that explains aftercare. Homeowners choose our driveway contractors New Cross area because we deliver consistent finishes backed by a 10-year warranty.
Across the London Borough of Lewisham, we often see mixed ground and older front gardens with legacy layers beneath. In New Cross, access can be limited and parking controls are common, so we plan deliveries, skips and working hours carefully. We also design around basement lightwells, bay windows and narrow paths typical of period terraces. If a dropped kerb is required, we’ll advise on the process and prepare the entrance to the correct levels.

Costs vary by size, access and groundwork, but typical New Cross ranges are: gravel £70–£120 per m², tarmac £90–£150 per m², block paving £120–£200 per m², resin bound £110–£180 per m², and concrete £100–£170 per m². Repairs can start from a few hundred pounds, while drainage or kerb works add depending on scope. We provide a detailed, itemised quote after a survey.
Most driveway installations take 3–7 working days, depending on excavation depth, waste removal, and the chosen finish. Block paving and complex edging can take longer than tarmac, while resin requires suitable dry conditions for laying. If we’re adding drainage channels, replacing a sub-base, or coordinating a dropped kerb, allow extra time. We’ll confirm a schedule before starting and keep you updated if weather affects curing times.
Many driveway projects are permitted development, but rules can apply around surface water drainage and the amount of non-permeable paving in front gardens. Using permeable block paving or resin bound with appropriate sub-base often helps meet requirements. Dropped kerbs are typically controlled by the council and need approval and an authorised contractor. We check constraints, advise on compliant drainage, and guide you through any Lewisham permissions needed.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for new driveway installations, covering issues such as sub-base failure, poor compaction, and installation-related movement. Materials may also carry manufacturer guarantees, depending on the product selected. The warranty doesn’t cover damage from third-party works, heavy vehicles beyond design load, or neglect of basic maintenance. We explain aftercare for each surface and can offer periodic inspections if required.
Popular choices include charcoal or brindle block paving for Victorian terraces, resin bound in warm stone tones for a cleaner modern look, and tarmac with contrasting block edging for durability. Gravel suits smaller budgets and works well with strong edging and stabilisation grids. We can also add drainage channels, recessed manhole covers, and lighting-ready ducting. We’ll help you choose colours, patterns and edging that suit your façade and daily parking needs.
