Costs vary by size, excavation depth, drainage and finish. As a guide in Sanderstead, gravel driveways often start around £70–£120 per m², tarmac around £90–£140 per m², block paving around £110–£180 per m², and resin bound around £120–£200 per m². Concrete is commonly £100–£160 per m². Repairs and drainage are usually priced after inspection.
Most driveway installations take 3–7 working days, depending on area, excavation, waste removal and weather. A straightforward tarmac or gravel driveway can be quicker, while block paving and detailed edging typically take longer. Resin bound installations usually require a sound base and suitable curing time. If drainage, steps, retaining edges or a dropped kerb is involved, allow extra time for preparation and approvals.
Many driveway works are permitted development, but rules can apply to surface water drainage, materials and changes to access. If you’re creating a new hardstanding over 5m², using permeable surfacing or directing water to a suitable drain/soakaway is often required. Dropped kerbs typically need council approval. We check the requirements for your Sanderstead property and advise on compliant drainage and construction.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our driveway installations, covering workmanship and the integrity of the installed structure under normal domestic use. This includes issues such as sinking caused by inadequate sub-base preparation or edge restraint failure. The warranty does not cover accidental damage, oil staining, or problems caused by third-party alterations. We’ll also explain aftercare, cleaning and sealing guidance to help your driveway last.
For Sanderstead homes, block paving remains popular for its kerb appeal, borders and patterns, while resin bound suits modern entrances with a smooth, permeable finish. Tarmac works well for larger driveways, and gravel is ideal for a traditional look with good drainage. We can add contrasting edgings, steps, lighting ducts and channel drains. We’ll help you choose colours and textures that complement brickwork and landscaping.
