That narrow Victorian driveway giving you parking headaches? Extending your drive in Tooting doesn't just solve practical problems – it transforms how you use your front garden space entirely.

Space comes at a premium in SW17, particularly with those classic Edwardian terraces lining streets from Furzedown to Tooting Broadway. Many homeowners discover their original driveways simply weren't designed for modern family life with multiple vehicles. A thoughtfully planned extension creates breathing room whilst maintaining the character of your property's frontage.
Block paving remains the material of choice across Tooting Bec for good reason – it handles our clay soil movement beautifully. Installation begins with precise excavation to match existing levels, followed by a compacted sub-base that prevents future sinking. The final surface gets hand-laid with meticulous attention to drainage patterns, ensuring water flows away from your home even during those sudden summer downpours.
Twenty years of working on Tooting properties means understanding each street's unique quirks. From navigating council requirements to matching existing materials perfectly, local knowledge makes all the difference when extending driveways here.

Absolutely – from the leafy streets near Tooting Common through to the busier roads around Tooting Broadway station. Recent projects include properties on Franciscan Road, Ribblesdale Road, and throughout the Furzedown area.
Standard extensions typically wrap up within 5-7 working days, weather permitting. Larger transformations involving significant groundwork might stretch to two weeks, but you'll have exact timelines before any digging begins.
Every extension carries comprehensive ten-year protection covering both materials and workmanship. This includes settlement issues, pointing failures, and any drainage problems – essentially everything except deliberate damage.
Pattern matching forms a crucial part of any extension project. Whether you've got herringbone blocks, standard brick pavers, or even older concrete imprint patterns, sourcing compatible materials ensures your extension blends seamlessly with the original drive.
