If you’re near Stockwell tube station or around Stockwell Park, a well-built driveway can transform daily parking and the look of your frontage. We install driveways that suit SW9 properties and cope with London traffic, footfall and weather. From clean, modern resin bound to traditional block paving, we tailor the finish to your home and budget. Every installation includes a solid sub-base and careful levels to protect your property.
The Stockwell area has a mix of Victorian terraces, Georgian houses and post-war estates, each with different access and levels. We’re used to narrow front gardens, shared boundaries and stepped thresholds common across Lambeth. For terraces, we often design layouts that maximise a single bay without compromising pathways and bins. For larger plots closer to Clapham or Oval, we can create multi-car parking with defined edging and planting breaks.
Our process is straightforward: site visit, written specification, careful excavation, Type 1 sub-base, and a finish installed to manufacturer standards. We build in effective drainage solutions, including permeable options and channel drains where needed. Homeowners choose us for tidy working, clear communication and durable results that don’t sink or puddle. With Fine Landscaping based just 15 minutes away, aftercare and follow-up are quick and reliable.
We understand the practicalities of driveway installation in London Borough of Lambeth, including parking restrictions, access for skips and considerate neighbour liaison. Stockwell’s frontages often have level changes and older drainage runs, so we survey falls carefully and specify the right drainage. Where space is tight, we plan materials deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption. We also advise on permeable surfaces to help meet local requirements and reduce surface water issues.

Costs vary by size, access and the surface you choose. As a guide in the Stockwell area, gravel driveways often start around £70–£110 per m², tarmac around £90–£140 per m², block paving around £110–£180 per m², and resin bound around £120–£200 per m². Natural stone and complex drainage can increase costs. We provide an itemised quote after a site survey.
Most driveways take 3–7 working days from excavation to completion, depending on size and the chosen material. Resin bound and tarmac can be quicker once the base is prepared, while block paving and natural stone usually take longer due to laying patterns and edging. Timescales are also affected by access, waste removal, drainage requirements and weather. We agree a clear programme before starting and keep you updated daily.
In many cases, driveway works are permitted development, especially when you use permeable surfacing or direct runoff to a suitable drainage area within your property. However, rules can change depending on frontage size, listed buildings, conservation considerations and whether a new dropped kerb is needed. For driveway installation in London Borough of Lambeth, we check the practical requirements, advise on compliant drainage, and can guide you through dropped kerb applications where required.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for our driveway installations, covering issues such as sinking caused by sub-base failure, poor levels leading to ponding, and defects arising from installation errors. Material warranties may also apply depending on the product used (for example, resin systems or paving). The warranty assumes normal domestic use and that drainage outlets are kept clear. You’ll receive care guidance to protect your finish.
We offer block paving in a range of colours and laying patterns, resin bound for a smooth, permeable finish, and practical surfaces like tarmac, gravel and concrete. For a premium look, we install natural stone setts and flags with crisp edging. We’ll help you choose based on parking needs, slip resistance, maintenance and how the driveway complements your property. We can also integrate drainage channels, step details and lighting-ready ducting.
