Earl's Court homeowners want driveways that look sharp, park easily and cope with London weather. We design and build surfaces that complement Victorian façades and modern upgrades alike, from Philbeach Gardens to streets near Earl's Court tube station. Whether you need a new parking bay, a refreshed front garden layout or safer access, we handle the full build. Our team works across SW5 and nearby Kensington and West Brompton.
Local properties often include Victorian mansion conversions, period flats and garden square homes where frontage space is limited and detailing matters. We regularly create compact, well-planned driveways with neat edges, discreet drainage and finishes that suit heritage brickwork. For shared access or tight turning circles, we can add strengthening layers and clear parking geometry. If you’re improving a rental flat conversion or a long-term family home, we tailor the design to your day-to-day use.
Every project starts with a site survey, levels check and a clear recommendation on sub-base depth and drainage. We provide written specifications, tidy workmanship and staged payments, so you know what’s happening and when. Installations are completed to high standards with careful compaction, accurate falls and clean jointing. Homeowners choose us for reliable communication, premium materials and a 10-year warranty on workmanship.
Access can be tight around SW5, with controlled parking and narrow streets near the Earl's Court Exhibition Centre site. We plan deliveries, waste removal and working hours to minimise disruption, and we keep the site secure and tidy. Ground conditions vary, so we assess existing made ground, tree roots and old front garden walls before setting levels. For driveway installation in Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, we also factor in surface-water rules and practical drainage solutions.

Costs vary by size, excavation depth, access and finish. As a guide, gravel is often £70–£120 per m², tarmac £90–£150 per m², block paving £120–£200 per m², and resin bound £130–£220 per m². Natural stone and premium detailing can be £180–£300+ per m². Drainage channels, steps, walls and waste removal can also affect the total.
Most projects take 3–7 working days from excavation to completion, depending on area and material. Resin bound and block paving typically need more preparation and curing time than gravel, while complex edging, steps or extensive drainage can add days. Access restrictions and skip permits can also influence scheduling in SW5. We provide a realistic programme after the survey and keep you updated throughout.
Many driveway upgrades are permitted development, but rules often focus on surface-water drainage and materials. If you’re creating a new hardstanding over a certain size, using non-permeable surfacing, altering levels, or working near a boundary wall, extra requirements may apply. Dropped kerbs always need council approval and a licensed contractor. We check the relevant guidance and advise on compliant, permeable options.
We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty on our driveway installations, covering issues such as poor compaction, movement caused by incorrect sub-base build-up, and defects in laying that lead to uneven surfaces. Materials may also carry manufacturer warranties, depending on the product chosen. The warranty assumes normal domestic use and correct aftercare, and we’ll explain maintenance for your selected finish at handover.
We install block paving in classic or contemporary patterns, resin bound for a smooth permeable finish, tarmac for clean practicality, and gravel for a traditional look. Concrete and natural stone setts or flags are also popular for period properties. We’ll help you choose colours, edging and thresholds to suit your frontage, plus drainage details to meet regulations. If needed, we can integrate lighting, steps and planting borders.
