That narrow driveway causing daily parking stress? Morden homeowners know the struggle – squeezing past bins on collection day, navigating around the family car just to reach the front door.

Semi-detached properties throughout SM4 often come with driveways built for a different era – when one car per household was the norm. Today's reality involves multiple vehicles, work vans, and visitors competing for limited space. Extension work here requires understanding the specific challenges of Morden's residential layout, from the Victorian terraces near the station to the post-war estates around St Helier.
Proper groundwork forms the backbone of any lasting driveway extension. Excavation depth depends on existing soil conditions – Morden's clay-heavy ground needs particular attention to prevent future settlement. Reinforced sub-base installation, precise gradient calculations for drainage towards existing soakaways, and integration with current surfaces all demand experienced hands. Material selection matters too; whether matching existing block paving or introducing contrasting borders for visual definition.
Twenty years of transforming Morden driveways means knowing which planning permissions apply where. Local knowledge counts when navigating crossover applications or understanding specific requirements for properties near Morden Hall Park.
