Norwood Grove homeowners want driveways that look smart, park easily and cope with London weather. We design and install driveways across SE19, including streets near Norwood Grove Park and Upper Norwood Recreation Ground. From clean-lined resin finishes to traditional block paving, we build surfaces that complement the frontage and improve kerb appeal. Every project starts with a site visit and clear recommendations on levels, edging and drainage.
The Norwood Grove area includes Victorian houses, Edwardian properties and period conversions, often with raised thresholds, garden walls and narrow side access. That means careful setting-out, tidy spoil removal and thoughtful detailing around steps and bays. Our driveway contractors Norwood Grove area clients rely on us to match materials to the character of Upper Norwood, Crystal Palace and South Norwood streets. We can also refresh tired entrances with targeted driveway repairs rather than a full rebuild where suitable.
We manage the full process: survey, design, excavation, sub-base, laying, compaction and finishing. You’ll get proper falls for surface water, optional channel drains/soakaways, and neat edging that keeps the driveway stable long-term. Work is scheduled to minimise disruption, with clear daily updates and a clean handover. Local homeowners choose us for consistent workmanship, transparent scopes, and a 10-year warranty for peace of mind.
As driveway contractors in London Borough of Croydon, we’re used to mixed ground conditions and sloping plots around Beaulieu Heights. We plan levels carefully to protect thresholds and direct water away from buildings, adding drainage where needed. Access and parking can be tight on residential roads, so we organise deliveries and waste collections to keep the site controlled. We also advise on permeable surfaces to help meet local rules on front-garden paving.

Costs vary by size, excavation depth, access and the finish you choose. As a guide in SE19, gravel driveways often start around £60–£100 per m², tarmac around £80–£140 per m², block paving around £120–£200 per m², and resin-bound typically £130–£220 per m². Concrete can range from £90–£170 per m². Drainage, steps, walls and dropped kerbs add to the total.
Most driveway installations take 3–10 working days, depending on area, excavation, and the surface type. A small gravel or tarmac job can be quicker, while block paving and resin systems often need more preparation and curing time. Timescales also change if we’re adding drainage, rebuilding retaining edges, or coordinating a dropped kerb. After the survey, we’ll provide a realistic programme and keep you updated throughout.
Many driveway projects are permitted development, but rules apply—especially for front gardens over 5m² where water must drain to a permeable area within your property. Using permeable block paving, resin-bound, gravel, or adding a soakaway can help. Dropped kerbs require approval from the relevant highways authority and must be installed to specification. We check constraints, advise on compliant drainage, and can guide you through permissions where needed.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our driveway installations, covering workmanship issues such as sub-base failure, movement caused by incorrect build-up, and installation-related defects. Materials are also covered by manufacturer guarantees where applicable. The warranty doesn’t cover damage from heavy vehicles beyond design load, accidental impact, or issues caused by third-party alterations. We’ll explain care guidance and provide aftercare support to keep your driveway performing well.
For period homes, block paving in charcoal, brindle or traditional tones is popular, often with a contrasting border and soldier-course edging. Resin-bound suits cleaner, contemporary frontages and offers a smooth, permeable finish. Tarmac with block edging is a practical choice for larger parking areas, while gravel works well where a softer look is preferred. We’ll help you choose colours, patterns, edging and lighting-ready layouts to suit your property and budget.
