Thornton Heath’s housing mix often includes Victorian terraces, Edwardian semis and 1930s houses with compact front gardens and shared boundaries. That means levels, thresholds and turning space need careful planning, not guesswork. We’re used to working with narrow access and on-street parking, keeping disruption low for you and your neighbours. If you’re comparing driveway contractors thornton heath area, our local experience makes the difference.
We start with a site visit to check levels, sub-base requirements, drainage routes and your preferred look. You’ll receive a written specification covering excavation depth, materials, edging and waste removal, so there are no surprises. Our team installs to best practice, keeps the site safe and clean, and finishes with a full handover. Homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, insured work, and a 10-year warranty for peace of mind.
As driveway contractors in London Borough of Croydon, we factor in local constraints such as tight frontages, crossovers and parking pressures. Around Grangewood Park and Selhurst, we often find mixed ground and older garden walls, so we specify strong edging and the right sub-base depth. We also plan falls and channel drainage to reduce standing water and protect thresholds. If permissions or inspections are needed, we guide you through the steps.

Costs depend on size, excavation depth, access and the finish 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 can range from £90–£160 per m². Repairs are usually priced by area and condition, often from a few hundred pounds upwards.
Most driveways take 3–7 working days from excavation to completion, depending on size and complexity. Block paving and resin systems can take longer if we’re building steps, retaining edges, or installing drainage. Weather, access for skips and machinery, and curing times (especially for concrete and resin) can affect the schedule. We’ll confirm a realistic programme after the site survey and keep you updated daily.
Many driveway installations are permitted development, but rules can apply to surface water drainage and new or altered access onto the road. If you’re creating a non-permeable driveway over 5m², you’ll usually need to direct water to a permeable area or install compliant drainage. Dropped kerbs typically require council approval. We check requirements for your CR7 property and advise on the best compliant approach.
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-related defects. Manufacturer warranties may also apply to specific products (for example, resin systems), depending on the chosen brand and specification. The warranty doesn’t cover accidental damage, misuse, or problems caused by third-party alterations. We explain what’s covered in writing before work begins.
For Victorian terraces and 1930s houses, block paving with contrasting borders is a common choice because it suits period brickwork and allows flexible layouts. Resin bound is popular for a clean, modern look with permeability, while tarmac works well for larger areas and straightforward parking. Gravel can be cost-effective with proper grids and edging. We’ll help you choose colours, patterns, edging and drainage details that match your frontage and budget.
