A well-built driveway makes daily parking easier and lifts the look of your frontage. We deliver driveway installation in Kennington with surfaces that suit everything from compact forecourts to wider plots near Kennington Park. From The Oval cricket ground to the streets around Kennington tube station, we’re used to working neatly and efficiently in SE11. Expect clean lines, strong sub-bases and finishes that age well.
Kennington’s Georgian townhouses, Victorian terraces and mansion blocks often come with level changes, shallow front gardens and shared boundaries. We design driveways that respect period character while improving practicality, including discreet edging and sympathetic colours. If you’re in Oval, Vauxhall or Elephant & Castle, we can advise on layouts that maximise parking without overwhelming the façade. Our local approach keeps the result appropriate for the street scene.
We start with a site survey, levels check and clear written specification, then prepare a stable sub-base and install the chosen surface to British Standards. Drainage is planned from day one, including permeable options and channel drains where needed. We keep neighbours informed, manage waste responsibly and leave the site tidy each day. Homeowners choose us for dependable scheduling, transparent communication and a 10-year warranty.
Driveway installation in London Borough of Lambeth often involves tight access, resident parking controls and careful waste logistics. In Kennington, we frequently encounter clay-heavy ground and older front garden walls that need protection during excavation. We plan deliveries to suit SE11 traffic patterns around Vauxhall and Elephant & Castle, and we set levels carefully to avoid water running towards basements or air bricks. The result is a driveway that works with local conditions, not against them.

Costs vary with size, excavation depth and the surface you choose. As a guide in Kennington, gravel is often from £70–£120 per m², tarmac from £90–£150 per m², block paving from £120–£200 per m², and resin bound from £140–£220 per m². Natural stone and complex drainage can increase budgets. We provide an itemised quote after a site visit in SE11.
Most driveway projects take around 3–7 working days, depending on area size, excavation requirements and the chosen finish. Block paving and natural stone can take longer due to laying patterns and cutting, while tarmac can be quicker once the base is prepared. Weather, access restrictions and drainage work also affect timing. We confirm a realistic schedule before starting and keep you updated daily.
Many front garden driveways are permitted development, but rules can apply around drainage, listed buildings, conservation areas and changes to access. Using permeable surfaces (such as resin bound or permeable block paving) or directing runoff to a suitable soakaway is often essential. Dropped kerbs require approval and installation via the council’s process. We check the relevant Lambeth requirements and advise before any work begins.
We provide a 10-year warranty covering workmanship, including sub-base preparation, levels, edging stability and installation defects under normal domestic use. Materials are also covered by manufacturer warranties where applicable (for example, resin systems or paving products). The warranty doesn’t cover accidental damage, heavy commercial vehicles or issues caused by third-party alterations. We’ll explain what’s covered in writing with your quote.
