If your parking space is uneven, puddling or looking tired, we can transform it with a driveway built to last. We work across SW18, including routes around Southfields tube station and towards Wimbledon Park. Whether you need a full new install or targeted driveway repairs, we focus on strong sub-bases, neat edging and reliable drainage. The result is a driveway that looks sharp and performs in all weather.
Southfields has a mix of Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and 1930s semis, each with different frontage sizes and access constraints. We design driveways that suit these proportions, from compact parking bays to wider family drives. For period homes, we often recommend sympathetic block paving patterns and kerb detailing. For 1930s semis, resin or tarmac with crisp borders can deliver a clean, modern finish without overpowering the façade.
Our process starts with a site visit, levels check and a clear written quotation, then we schedule works to minimise disruption. We excavate properly, install a stable sub-base, and build in falls and drainage so water moves away from your home. Every job is finished with careful compaction and detailing, and we keep the site tidy throughout. Homeowners choose us for straightforward communication, consistent quality and a 10-year warranty for peace of mind.
Working in the London Borough of Wandsworth means factoring in controlled parking, skip placement and practical access for materials. Around areas such as Earlsfield and Putney, front gardens can be narrow, so we plan deliveries and waste removal carefully. We also account for typical London ground conditions and existing services near boundaries. Our drainage-first approach helps manage surface water on sloping or compact plots common near King George's Park.

Costs vary by size, access and the amount of groundwork required. As a guide in SW18, gravel driveways often start from around £70–£110 per m², tarmac from £80–£130 per m², block paving from £120–£200 per m², and resin bound from £110–£180 per m². Concrete is typically £90–£160 per m². Repairs and drainage are usually priced after inspection.
Most driveway projects take 3–7 working days, depending on size and the chosen surface. Block paving and complex edging can take longer, while tarmac can be quicker once the base is prepared. Timescales may increase if we’re adding drainage channels, replacing poor ground, or coordinating a dropped kerb. Weather, access restrictions and curing times (especially for concrete) also affect the schedule.
Many driveway installations are permitted development, but rules can apply around surface water drainage and materials. If you’re creating a new hardstanding to the front, it typically needs to be permeable or drain to a suitable area within your property. Dropped kerbs require council approval and an authorised contractor. We’ll advise what applies to your home and help you stay compliant before work begins.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for new driveway installations, covering issues such as sinking caused by sub-base failure, loose edging and installation defects. Materials may also carry their own manufacturer guarantees, depending on the product selected. The warranty assumes normal domestic use and that drainage isn’t altered after completion. We’ll explain what’s covered, provide care guidance, and remain available if you need support later.
Block paving remains popular for Victorian and Edwardian homes, with herringbone patterns and contrasting borders. Resin bound is a strong choice for a smooth, modern look with good permeability, while tarmac suits larger drives with neat kerb edging. Gravel can work well for budget-friendly, traditional frontages when properly stabilised. We’ll help you choose colours, edging, steps and drainage details to suit your property and parking needs.
