If parking is tight around Paddington station or you want a cleaner frontage near Little Venice, a well-built driveway makes daily life easier. We install premium driveways designed for real London use, from heavy vehicles to frequent deliveries. Every build starts with a practical layout, safe access, and a finish that complements your property. We also integrate drainage so water doesn’t pool at your entrance.
The Paddington area includes stucco townhouses, mansion flats and newer apartment blocks, each with different frontage constraints. We regularly work across W2 and nearby streets linking Bayswater and Marylebone, where space, levels and access can be challenging. Our team designs driveways that respect period detailing while still being robust and low-maintenance. Where front gardens are compact, we maximise usable parking without making the space feel over-paved.
Our process covers survey, design, excavation, sub-base build-up, edging, surfacing and final clean-down, with clear communication throughout. We use correct depths, compaction and falls to protect against rutting and standing water. If a dropped kerb is needed, we guide you through the steps and coordinate the practical requirements. Homeowners choose us for tidy workmanship, reliable scheduling and a finish that lasts.
Driveway installation Paddington area projects often face restricted access, controlled parking zones and limited storage for materials. We plan deliveries and waste removal carefully and keep the site secure and tidy. In the City of Westminster, drainage compliance matters, so we design falls and permeable options where appropriate. We also account for basements, lightwells and existing services common to older terraces and mansion flats.

Costs vary by size, access and chosen finish. As a guide in W2, gravel is often £70–£120 per m², tarmac £90–£150 per m², block paving £110–£200 per m², and resin bound £120–£220 per m². Natural stone and premium edging can be higher. Groundworks, drainage channels, steps, and waste removal can add to the total, especially with restricted access.
Most driveways take around 3–7 working days from excavation to completion, depending on size and complexity. Resin bound and block paving can take longer if we’re installing new edging, drainage, or multiple levels. Restricted access near busy roads, parking controls, and the need for careful spoil removal can also extend timelines. We’ll provide a clear programme after the site survey and keep you updated daily.
Many driveway works are permitted development, but rules often hinge on drainage and whether the surface is permeable. In the City of Westminster, using a permeable surface or directing water to a suitable soakaway helps avoid planning issues. Dropped kerbs usually require a separate application and approval process. We’ll advise on compliant options, check constraints such as conservation considerations, and help you plan the right approach before work starts.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for our driveway installations, covering issues such as settlement caused by incorrect sub-base preparation, failed edging, and drainage faults linked to our installation. Material warranties can also apply depending on the product used (for example, resin systems or paving manufacturers). The warranty is valid when the driveway is used as intended and maintained sensibly, and we’ll explain care steps at handover.
We install block paving in classic or contemporary patterns, resin bound for a smooth permeable finish, tarmac for a clean durable surface, and gravel for a traditional look. Concrete and natural stone suit modern apartments and period stucco homes respectively, depending on detailing. We’ll help you choose colours, edging, steps and drainage solutions, and can design layouts for single or multi-car parking with turning space where possible.
