A well-built driveway makes day-to-day parking easier and improves the look of your frontage. We deliver tailored surfaces for SE15 homes, from clean resin bound finishes to traditional block paving. Our teams regularly work around Nunhead Cemetery and up towards Telegraph Hill Park, where access and levels can vary street by street. Every installation is designed to drain correctly and stay looking sharp year after year.
Nunhead’s Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and period cottages often have compact front gardens and shared boundaries that need careful setting out. We plan edging, falls and thresholds so the driveway sits neatly against original brickwork and garden walls. If you’re close to Peckham, Brockley, Honor Oak or East Dulwich, we’ll match materials and detailing to the character of the street. The result is a driveway that looks intentional, not “dropped in”.
We start with a site survey, measure levels, and recommend the right build-up for your chosen surface. Sub-base preparation, compaction and drainage are handled properly, with clear communication throughout. We can also coordinate dropped kerbs where required, keeping the job moving without surprises. Homeowners choose us for tidy workmanship, reliable scheduling and a finish that lasts.
Across the London Borough of Southwark, front access can be tight and parking controls can affect deliveries and skips. In Nunhead, we often encounter mixed ground conditions and sloping plots, so we set levels carefully and design drainage to suit. We’re used to working around mature trees and established front boundaries common near Nunhead Green. Our approach keeps disruption down while meeting practical day-to-day needs.

Costs vary by size, access and the surface you choose. As a guide, 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 £120–£220 per m². Natural stone and complex drainage can increase budgets. We provide a detailed, itemised quote after a site survey in SE15.
Most driveways take around 3–7 working days, depending on excavation depth, drainage, and the chosen finish. Resin bound and tarmac can be quicker once the base is prepared, while block paving and natural stone typically take longer due to setting out and cutting. Weather, restricted access and council parking arrangements can also affect timings. We’ll confirm a schedule before work starts.
Many driveway projects are permitted development, but rules apply, especially around drainage and surfaces. If the new driveway is over 5m², it generally needs to be permeable or drain to a suitable soakaway, not the public highway. Dropped kerbs and work affecting the pavement require council approval. We’ll advise what’s needed and help you stay compliant before installation begins.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for our driveway installations, covering issues linked to installation such as sub-base failure, sinking caused by inadequate compaction, and faulty edging or levels. Manufacturer warranties may also apply to specific products (for example, resin systems or sealers). The warranty is valid when the driveway is used as intended and maintained sensibly. Full terms are provided with your quote.
We install block paving in a range of colours and laying patterns, resin bound for a smooth permeable finish, and tarmac for a clean, durable surface. Gravel and concrete are popular for cost-effective solutions, while natural stone suits period properties and adds character. We’ll help you choose edging, borders, steps and drainage details to match your home and budget, then produce a clear specification before work starts.
