Pollards Hill is a quiet residential area with great amenities and green spaces, and the driveway needs vary from street to street. We regularly work on 1930s semis, post-war housing and maisonettes, where access widths, levels and existing drainage can be challenging. Whether you need extra off-street parking or a safer, flatter approach to the front door, we tailor the layout to your property. Homeowners in nearby Norbury, Mitcham and Streatham Vale also rely on us for consistent quality.
We start with a site survey, discuss materials and drainage, then provide a detailed written quote. Every build includes proper excavation, a compacted sub-base and edge restraints, with SUDS-friendly options where required. We keep disruption down with planned deliveries, considerate working hours and a clean handover. Our workmanship is backed by a 10-year warranty, which is why many clients recommend our driveway contractors Pollards Hill area services.
As driveway contractors in London Borough of Merton, we’re used to tight residential access, controlled parking and busy school-run traffic. Ground conditions can vary, so we assess levels, existing sub-bases and water run-off before proposing a build-up. Near Pollards Hill Recreation Ground and surrounding streets, we often design falls and channel drainage to keep water away from thresholds. We also consider council requirements for permeable surfacing and dropped kerbs, then plan the job around practical access.

Costs depend on size, excavation depth, access and the surface you choose. As a guide, gravel is often £60–£110 per m², tarmac £80–£140 per m², block paving £110–£180 per m², and resin-bound £120–£200 per m². Concrete typically ranges £90–£160 per m². Repairs, drainage and dropped kerb works are priced after a site visit and specification check.
Most driveways take around 3–7 working days, depending on area, excavation, and whether drainage or a dropped kerb is involved. Block paving and resin systems can take longer due to base preparation and curing times, while tarmac can be quicker once the sub-base is ready. Poor weather, restricted access and removal of old concrete can extend the schedule. We confirm a realistic programme before starting.
Many driveway installations are permitted development, but rules can apply—especially around surface water drainage. If the new or replacement driveway is over 5m², using a permeable surface (or directing run-off to a suitable soakaway) is typically required to avoid planning permission. Dropped kerbs need council approval and a licensed contractor. We’ll advise on compliant options and help you navigate the process.
We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty on new driveway installations, covering issues such as sinking caused by inadequate base preparation, edge movement and installation-related defects. Materials may also carry manufacturer guarantees, depending on the product selected (for example, resin systems or paving blocks). The warranty doesn’t cover accidental damage, oil staining, or problems caused by third-party alterations. We explain care and maintenance at handover.
For 1930s semis and post-war homes, block paving is popular for its classic look and easy repairs, while resin-bound suits homeowners wanting a smooth, modern finish with good permeability. Tarmac is a strong, cost-effective choice for larger areas, and gravel works well where a softer, traditional appearance is preferred. We can add contrasting borders, steps, lighting conduits and drainage channels. We’ll help you choose based on parking needs, style and maintenance.
