Those narrow Victorian frontages throughout Colliers Wood deserve driveways that maximise every square metre. From compact courtyards near the Tandem Centre to generous plots backing onto Wandle Park, proper installation transforms both kerb appeal and daily convenience.

Colliers Wood's mix of period properties and newer developments presents unique challenges for driveway projects. Many homes along Cavendish Road and surrounding streets feature awkward angles where front gardens meet pavements. Local planning restrictions, particularly near conservation areas, require careful material selection. Years of experience navigating Merton Council requirements means paperwork never delays your project.
Proper groundwork prevents the settling issues common in SW19's clay-heavy soil. Excavation depth varies between 200-300mm depending on your chosen surface and expected vehicle weight. Permeable options like resin-bound gravel help manage surface water - crucial given recent flooding near Colliers Wood station. Sub-base compaction, membrane installation, and precise gradient calculations ensure decades of trouble-free use.
Long-standing relationships with local suppliers mean competitive material costs without compromising quality. Most neighbours recognise our distinctive blue vans from previous projects throughout the postcode.

Block paving installations for standard semi-detached properties range £4,500-£7,000. Resin-bound surfaces typically cost 20% more but require less maintenance. Exact pricing depends on excavation requirements and your chosen finish.
Absolutely - narrow frontages between Christchurch Road and Boundary Road are our bread and butter. Clever design maximises parking whilst maintaining required pedestrian access. Recent projects include several challenging Victorian conversions near the Underground station.
Standard driveways take 4-6 working days from excavation through final sealing. Larger or complex installations might extend to 8-10 days. Weather permitting, most SW19 projects finish ahead of schedule.
Every installation carries decade-long coverage against structural failure. This includes settlement, drainage problems, and premature surface wear. Annual inspections during years 2-5 catch any minor issues before they develop.
