If your parking is tight or your frontage is tired, a new driveway can transform how your home works day to day. We design and install driveways across Sidcup, from properties near Sidcup High Street to quieter roads by Foots Cray. Every build is planned for safe access, clean edges and proper drainage so puddles and rutting don’t become a yearly problem. We also take on driveway repairs where a full replacement isn’t necessary.
Sidcup’s mix of 1930s semis, Victorian houses and modern developments calls for different approaches to levels, detailing and kerb appeal. We regularly work on wider plots with gardens as well as compact frontages where turning space matters. Whether you’re upgrading a family driveway near DA14 or improving off-street parking in DA15, we’ll recommend materials and layouts that complement brickwork, bay windows and existing paths. The result looks intentional, not “added on”.
Our process starts with a site visit, clear written quote and a plan for excavation, sub-base and falls. We install to robust specifications, keep the site tidy, and confirm drainage routes before surfacing goes down. Homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, straightforward communication and workmanship backed by a 10-year warranty. If you need a dropped kerb, we’ll guide you through the steps and coordinate the work.

Costs vary by size, excavation depth, drainage and chosen finish. As a guide, gravel driveways often start around £60–£100 per m², tarmac around £80–£130 per m², block paving around £110–£180 per m², and resin-bound around £120–£200 per m². Concrete is commonly £90–£160 per m². Repairs can be from a few hundred pounds, depending on the issue.
Most driveway installations take 3–7 working days, depending on area, access and the surface type. Block paving and complex edging can take longer, while tarmac can be quicker once the base is prepared. Timescales also change if you need additional drainage, a dropped kerb, or significant excavation to correct levels. We’ll confirm a realistic programme after the site survey and keep you updated daily.
Many driveway upgrades are permitted development, but rules often apply to front garden surfacing and water run-off. If the new surface is not permeable, you may need compliant drainage such as channels to a soakaway, or a permeable finish like resin-bound or permeable block paving. Dropped kerbs are typically subject to council approval and contractor requirements. We check the constraints and advise before work starts.
We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty on new driveway installations, covering issues such as lifting, sinking or edge failure caused by installation defects. Materials may also carry manufacturer warranties, depending on the product chosen (for example, resin systems). The warranty assumes normal domestic use and that drainage routes are kept clear. We’ll explain what’s covered in writing and how to look after your new surface.
For Sidcup homes, block paving is popular for its patterns and kerb appeal, while resin-bound suits clean, modern frontages with excellent permeability. Tarmac is a strong choice for larger driveways and everyday durability, and gravel works well where you want a softer, traditional look. Concrete can be finished with neat edging for a crisp result. As driveway contractors in London Borough of Bexley, we’ll help you choose colours, borders and drainage details to suit your property.
