Those narrow Victorian driveways in SW18 weren't designed for today's larger vehicles. Whether you're squeezing past wheelie bins or struggling with a second car, extending your driveway transforms daily parking hassles into smooth arrivals home.
Response within 24 hours
Wandsworth's property boom has seen many residents choosing to extend rather than move, and driveways often get overlooked in the process. From Southfields' tree-lined streets to Earlsfield's bustling family neighbourhoods, parking pressure keeps mounting. A professionally extended driveway not only solves practical problems but adds surprising value to SW18 properties where off-street parking commands a premium.
Modern extension techniques go beyond simply adding tarmac. Permeable surfaces now meet stringent drainage regulations whilst complementing period properties. Resin-bound aggregates create seamless transitions between old and new sections. Block paving patterns can visually widen narrow spaces, particularly useful for those typical Wandsworth terraces with restricted frontages.
Having worked on hundreds of SW18 driveways since 2014, the team understands local planning quirks and drainage challenges unique to this Thames-side borough. Every extension starts with honest advice about what's achievable within your specific plot constraints.
