SE13's housing stock presents unique challenges - narrow frontages, established trees, and conservation considerations all factor into creating additional parking. Years of working across Lewisham have taught us that each property demands its own solution. Some homeowners need just enough extra width for a second vehicle, whilst others seek complete transformations incorporating turning circles and pedestrian pathways. Material choices matter too; matching existing surfaces or introducing contemporary alternatives that enhance kerb appeal.
Proper groundwork determines longevity - excavating to correct depths, installing suitable sub-bases, addressing drainage requirements specific to Lewisham's clay soil. Block paving remains popular for extensions, offering flexibility around existing features and simple integration with current driveways. Resin-bound surfaces provide seamless expansion possibilities, particularly effective where level changes exist. Permeable options satisfy planning requirements whilst managing surface water effectively, crucial given recent flooding concerns around Ladywell.
Twenty years enhancing Lewisham driveways means understanding local planning nuances and neighbouring sensitivities. Building relationships with SE13 homeowners has shown us that communication matters as much as craftsmanship.
