From SE4 streets near Brockley Market to the slopes by Hilly Fields, a well-built driveway makes daily parking easier and improves the look of your frontage. We install driveways that are designed for real London use: frequent foot traffic, tight access and heavy vehicles. Whether you want a clean resin bound finish or traditional block paving, we build a surface that stays level and drains correctly. Every project starts with a clear plan, not guesswork.
Brockley’s Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and mansion conversions often have narrow front gardens and shared boundaries, so detailing matters. We regularly work across Honor Oak, Crofton Park and New Cross, matching materials to brickwork, railings and existing paths. If you’re adding a second parking space or widening an entrance, we can advise on layout and turning room. The result is a driveway that looks intentional, not squeezed in.
Our driveway installation brockley area process covers excavation, a properly compacted sub-base, edge restraints and a finish built to specification. We include drainage solutions such as permeable resin, channel drains or soakaways to reduce surface water issues. You’ll get a written scope, tidy working practices and a clear handover with care guidance. Local homeowners choose us for consistent standards, transparent communication and dependable aftercare.
Access and parking can be tight around Ladywell and Crofton Park, so we plan deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption. Ground conditions vary, and we adjust excavation depth and sub-base build-up to suit. We also factor in pavement levels, tree roots and shared front boundaries common to terraces. For driveway installation in London Borough of Lewisham, we keep drainage and permeability requirements front of mind from day one.

Costs depend on size, excavation depth, access and the finish you choose. As a guide, gravel is often £60–£110 per m², tarmac £80–£140 per m², block paving £110–£180 per m², and resin bound £120–£200 per m². Natural stone and complex edging can be higher. Drainage, steps, walls and dropped kerbs are usually priced separately after a site survey.
Most Brockley driveways take around 3–7 working days from excavation to completion, depending on size and specification. Resin bound and block paving often take longer than tarmac because of base preparation and detailing. Timescales can extend if access is restricted, if we need extra groundworks, or if drainage and levels require additional shaping. We’ll confirm a realistic programme after measuring up and checking site conditions.
Many driveway projects are permitted development, but rules can apply to drainage, boundary treatments and changes to access. If the surface is non-permeable and water would run to the highway, you may need to add compliant drainage or choose a permeable system. Dropped kerbs always require council approval and an authorised contractor. We’ll advise on the likely requirements and help you stay compliant before work begins.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for our driveway installations, covering issues such as settlement caused by incorrect sub-base preparation, edging failure and installation defects. Materials may also carry manufacturer warranties, depending on the product selected. The warranty assumes normal domestic use and appropriate maintenance, such as keeping drainage channels clear and avoiding heavy commercial vehicles. We’ll explain what’s covered in writing at quotation stage.
Popular choices include block paving for classic detailing, resin bound for a smooth permeable finish, tarmac for a clean modern look, and gravel for a cost-effective traditional style. We also install concrete and natural stone for premium character properties. Design options include contrasting borders, soldier courses, recessed manhole covers and integrated steps. We’ll help you select colours and textures that suit your frontage and provide the grip, drainage and durability you need.
