Addiscombe homeowners often need practical parking without sacrificing character, especially around Addiscombe tram stop and the streets leading towards East Croydon. We design and install driveways that complement the property and improve day-to-day access. Whether you want a clean, contemporary resin bound finish or traditional block paving, we tailor the layout to your frontage. Every build includes a proper sub-base, edging and drainage planning for CR0 conditions.
Our team works across the driveway installation Addiscombe area daily, so we understand the mix of Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and 1930s semis. Many front gardens are compact, with shared boundaries and limited turning space, which makes good set-out essential. We can incorporate permeable surfacing, discreet channel drains and strong edgings to prevent rutting. The result is a driveway that suits the home’s era while meeting modern needs.
We start with a site survey, levels check and a clear written specification, then handle excavation, waste removal and installation in organised stages. You’ll get guidance on materials, patterns and practical details like lighting conduits and bin-store access. Our finishes are built to cope with regular vehicle use, not just look good on day one. Local homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, tidy sites and a 10-year warranty for peace of mind.
In the London Borough of Croydon, many Addiscombe streets have tight access, on-street parking and short frontages, so deliveries and spoil removal must be planned carefully. Ground conditions can vary, and older properties may have uneven levels from previous hardstanding. We set accurate falls, include drainage where needed, and recommend permeable surfaces when appropriate. Our designs also account for boundary walls, bay windows and steps common on CR0 homes.

Costs vary by size, groundworks and chosen surface. As a guide, gravel is often £60–£100 per m², tarmac £80–£130 per m², block paving £110–£180 per m², and resin bound typically £120–£200 per m². Concrete and natural stone can be similar or higher depending on finish and edging. Excavation depth, drainage and access in CR0 can affect the total.
Most projects take around 3–7 working days from excavation to completion, depending on size and complexity. A small, straightforward gravel or tarmac drive may be quicker, while block paving and natural stone usually take longer due to laying patterns and cutting. Timescales can also change if we’re adding drainage, adjusting levels near steps, or coordinating a dropped kerb. We confirm a schedule after the survey.
Many driveway installations are permitted development, but rules can apply, especially around surface water drainage. If the new hardstanding is over 5m², it generally needs to be permeable or drain to a suitable area within your property rather than the road. Dropped kerbs require council permission and approved contractors. We check the requirements for your address and design the driveway to stay compliant.
We provide a 10-year warranty covering workmanship, including the installed sub-base, edging stability and surface integrity when used as intended. This gives protection against issues such as settlement caused by improper preparation or installation defects. Materials may also carry manufacturer guarantees depending on the product selected. We’ll explain what’s covered, how to care for your new driveway, and what to do if you ever need support.
We install block paving (including herringbone patterns), resin bound in a wide choice of aggregates, tarmac with smart edging, gravel with stabilisation grids, concrete finishes, and natural stone setts or paving. We can also add drainage channels, recessed manhole covers and contrasting borders for definition. During the survey we’ll discuss parking needs, turning space and the look of your home, then recommend options that suit your budget and maintenance preferences.
