A well-designed driveway transforms more than just your home's entrance—it reshapes how you experience your property daily. From Victorian terraces in Shortlands to modern builds across Sundridge, every Bromley home deserves an entrance that complements its character.

Creating the perfect driveway means understanding Bromley's unique mix of period properties and contemporary homes. Whether you're tackling the steep inclines common in Bickley or maximising a compact frontage near the town centre, material choice and drainage design make all the difference. Local planning considerations often influence what's possible, particularly in conservation areas around Sundridge Park.
Modern installation techniques combine traditional groundwork expertise with innovative permeable surfaces that meet current regulations. Excavation depth varies significantly depending on soil conditions—clay-heavy areas near Shortlands require different preparation than the sandier patches found towards BR3. Proper sub-base installation prevents the cracking and sinking that plague poorly constructed driveways, while strategic drainage channels handle Bromley's occasional heavy downpours.
Having installed driveways throughout Bromley since the early 2000s, our team knows which materials weather best in this corner of Kent. Local knowledge matters when navigating everything from tree root protection orders to matching existing kerb heights.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
Most residential driveways in Bromley range between £3,500-£12,000, influenced by size, materials, and site complexity. Resin-bound surfaces start around £75 per square metre, while block paving typically runs £85-120, with prices reflecting local labour costs and material transport to BR postcodes.
Absolutely—from the bustling streets of central BR1 to the leafier lanes of BR2 and throughout BR3. Regular projects take us through Shortlands station area, up the hills of Bickley, and across to Sundridge's residential streets.
Standard block paving needs 24-48 hours before light use, though full curing takes about a week. Resin-bound surfaces set faster—usually driveable within 4-6 hours in good weather. Complete projects typically span 3-5 days from excavation to finish.
Every driveway carries comprehensive decade-long protection covering both materials and workmanship. This includes settlement issues, drainage problems, and surface integrity—basically everything except accidental damage or extreme weather events.
Sloped driveways require specific techniques—textured surfaces for grip, strategic drainage placement, and sometimes stepped sections. Many Bromley properties, especially around Bickley's hillier areas, benefit from permeable block systems that handle water runoff while maintaining traction.
