Brixton's eclectic mix of period properties and new builds presents unique driveway challenges. Those narrow Victorian frontages common throughout SW2 need clever design to maximise parking without sacrificing kerb appeal. Years of installing driveways across Brixton Hill and Electric Avenue neighbourhoods have taught us that every property tells its own story.
Proper groundwork proves crucial when dealing with Brixton's London clay soil. Excavation depth typically reaches 250mm, followed by compressed MOT Type 1 sub-base installation. Membrane placement prevents weed growth, whilst precision-laid blocks or poured surfaces ensure rainwater flows correctly toward existing drainage systems.
Local knowledge matters when navigating Lambeth's planning requirements and understanding which materials suit Brixton's urban environment. Having completed countless projects between Tulse Hill station and Herne Hill's leafy streets, property owners trust our understanding of what works here.

Block paving typically ranges £70-£100 per square metre, whilst resin-bound surfaces start around £85. A standard two-car driveway for a Brixton terrace usually falls between £3,500-£6,000, depending on existing conditions and chosen materials.
Absolutely - from the bustling streets around Brixton Market to quieter roads near Rush Common. Regular projects span both SW2 and SW9 postcodes, including Brixton Hill's larger properties and compact Victorian conversions near Stockwell.
Most residential driveways in Brixton require 3-5 days from excavation to completion. Larger properties near Brockwell Park might need a full week, whilst compact front gardens typical of SW9 often finish within three days.
Every driveway installation carries comprehensive ten-year protection covering structural integrity and workmanship. This includes settlement issues, drainage problems, and material defects - peace of mind that your investment remains sound through London's weather extremes.
