Those Victorian terraces around Bexley village weren't built with two-car families in mind. Adding that crucial extra parking space can transform daily life when you're juggling school runs to St Mary's and commutes into London.

Space constraints hit hard in DA5, particularly near the station where original driveways barely squeeze in a modern hatchback. Block-paved extensions blend seamlessly with existing surfaces, whether you're working with the red-brick charm of Parkhill Road or the 1930s semis dotting Upton. Smart drainage solutions prevent those frustrating puddles that plague clay-heavy gardens after Bexley's frequent downpours.
Excavation depth depends entirely on your existing ground conditions – that notorious London clay needs proper sub-base preparation to prevent future movement. Permeable surfaces now satisfy council requirements whilst managing surface water naturally. Modern resin-bound options complement period properties beautifully, maintaining kerb appeal whilst doubling parking capacity. Technical membrane installation beneath ensures longevity, particularly important given Bexley's mature tree coverage and persistent root systems.
Twenty years handling Bexley's quirky plot boundaries means navigating those tricky Victorian property lines comes second nature. Local planning knowledge speeds approvals, especially around conservation areas near St Mary's Church.

Most DA5 homeowners invest between £2,800-£5,500, depending on whether you're extending sideways into a lawn or lengthening towards the street. Resin-bound surfaces run higher than block paving, but drainage requirements often level out costs.
Absolutely – from the leafy streets near Danson Park right through to properties backing onto Joyden's Wood. Quick access via the A2 means reaching any DA5 address within minutes.
Straightforward extensions typically complete within 4-6 working days, weather permitting. Complex jobs involving retaining walls or significant level changes might stretch to 8-10 days.
Each extension carries decade-long coverage against structural defects, including settlement issues and drainage failures. Documentation covers both workmanship and materials, giving complete peace of mind for your investment.
Weathered surfaces present interesting challenges, but specialist suppliers stock discontinued ranges surprisingly often. Where exact matches prove impossible, complementary patterns create intentional contrast zones that look deliberately designed rather than mismatched.
