A well-built driveway adds kerb appeal, safer access and valuable parking for SE15 homes. Our team designs and installs block paving, resin, tarmac, gravel and concrete driveways with careful attention to levels and drainage. We regularly work near Nunhead Cemetery and around Telegraph Hill Park, where space and access can be tight. Expect tidy workmanship, clear communication and a finish that looks right for the street.
Nunhead’s Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and period cottages often need sympathetic detailing and practical solutions for narrow front gardens. We match paving colours, edging and patterns to complement brickwork and boundary walls, while keeping gradients correct for older thresholds. If your existing surface has sunk, cracked or become uneven, our driveway repairs can restore it without unnecessary disruption. Homeowners across Peckham and East Dulwich choose us for quality that holds up to daily use.
We start with a site survey, discuss parking needs and agree a design that meets permeable-surface rules where required. Our installations include proper sub-base build-up, compaction, edging restraints and drainage planning to help prevent puddling and rutting. You’ll receive a clear written scope, timescales and aftercare advice, plus workmanship backed by our 10-year warranty. Based in Norbury, we’re around 25 minutes away, so support is close at hand.
As driveway contractors in London Borough of Southwark, we plan for common issues such as clay-heavy ground, mature tree roots and older drainage runs. Many Nunhead roads have limited parking and narrow access, so we schedule deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption. We also design surfaces to suit period frontages and boundary walls typical of SE15. Where council requirements apply, we help you choose compliant permeable finishes and correct falls.

Costs vary by size, access and groundwork, but typical Nunhead ranges are: gravel from £60–£110 per m², tarmac from £80–£140 per m², block paving from £110–£180 per m², and resin from £120–£200 per m². Concrete is often £90–£160 per m². Repairs can start from a few hundred pounds, while drainage and kerb works add depending on scope.
Most residential driveways take around 3–7 working days from excavation to completion, depending on size and material. Block paving and complex edging can take longer than tarmac or gravel. Timescales are affected by access in Nunhead streets, removal of existing surfaces, drainage requirements, and curing time for concrete. We’ll confirm a schedule after the site survey and keep you updated if weather impacts progress.
Many driveway projects are permitted development, but rules often apply to front gardens and surface water. If you’re creating or replacing a driveway over 5m², you’ll usually need a permeable surface or drainage that directs water to a soakaway, not the public sewer. Dropped kerbs require council approval. We check requirements, advise on compliant materials, and can support the application process where needed.
We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty on new driveway installations, covering issues caused by installation defects such as unstable sub-bases, poor edging restraint, or incorrect falls leading to standing water. Manufacturer warranties may also apply to specific products (for example, resin systems) when installed to specification. Normal wear, accidental damage and problems caused by third-party alterations aren’t covered, but we’re always happy to inspect and advise.
For Nunhead’s period homes, block paving in charcoal or brindle with a contrasting border is a popular choice, as it complements Victorian brickwork. Resin-bound finishes suit homeowners wanting a smooth, modern look with permeability. Tarmac with neat edging offers a clean, cost-effective surface, while gravel works well for traditional cottages. We’ll help you choose colours, patterns, edging and drainage details to match your property and parking needs.
