Costs vary by size, access and the build-up required, but typical West Dulwich ranges are: gravel from about £60–£110 per m², tarmac from £80–£140 per m², block paving from £110–£180 per m², and resin from £120–£200 per m². Concrete is often £90–£160 per m². Repairs can start from a few hundred pounds, rising with area and drainage needs.
Most driveways take around 3–7 working days from excavation to completion, depending on size and the chosen surface. Block paving and complex edging can take longer than tarmac. Resin installations are often quicker once the base is ready, but curing time matters. Timescales are affected by access for skips and machinery, weather, drainage works, and whether you need a dropped kerb or significant level changes.
Many driveway projects are permitted development, but rules can apply, especially around surface water drainage. In general, using a permeable surface or directing runoff to a suitable soakaway helps avoid planning issues. Dropped kerbs are controlled separately and require council approval and an authorised contractor. We’ll advise on compliant options, check constraints where relevant, and build the driveway with drainage and levels that meet current expectations.
Yes. We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for new driveway installations, covering issues such as settlement caused by inadequate sub-base, failed edging, and installation-related drainage problems. Manufacturer warranties may also apply to specific products (for example, resin systems), depending on the supplier. The warranty doesn’t cover accidental damage, heavy vehicle misuse beyond design, or problems caused by third-party alterations after completion.
For SE21 period homes, block paving in brindle or charcoal with a contrasting border is a common choice, as it suits Victorian and Edwardian frontages. Resin is popular for a clean, contemporary look with good permeability, while tarmac offers a neat, cost-effective finish. Gravel works well for softer aesthetics, and concrete can be finished with subtle edging for a modern feel. We help you choose colours, patterns, lighting and drainage details to match your property.
