Costs vary by size, excavation depth, access and finish. As a guide in SE21, gravel driveways often start from around £70–£120 per m², tarmac from £90–£150 per m², block paving from £120–£200 per m², and resin bound from £130–£220 per m². Natural stone and complex drainage or retaining work can increase budgets. We provide a detailed, itemised quotation after a site visit.
Most driveways take around 3–7 working days, depending on size and the chosen surface. Block paving and natural stone can take longer due to laying patterns, cutting and jointing, while tarmac is often quicker once the base is prepared. Timescales also depend on excavation, waste removal, drainage installation and weather. We’ll confirm a programme before starting and keep you updated throughout.
Many driveway works are permitted development, but rules often apply to drainage and the use of impermeable surfaces in front gardens. If the area exceeds 5m², you typically need a permeable surface (such as resin bound or gravel) or drainage to a suitable soakaway, not the public sewer. Dropped kerbs require council approval. We check requirements and advise on compliant designs before work begins.
We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty on our driveway installations, covering issues linked to installation standards such as sub-base failure, sinking, loose edging or poor falls where these are due to workmanship. Manufacturer guarantees may also apply for specific materials. The warranty does not cover accidental damage, misuse, or problems caused by third-party alterations. We also give clear aftercare guidance to keep your driveway looking its best.
We install block paving in a range of colours and patterns, resin bound for a smooth, permeable finish, and tarmac for a clean, durable surface. Gravel and concrete are popular for cost-effective, low-maintenance options, while natural stone adds a premium look suited to period homes. We’ll help you choose edging, kerb details, drainage solutions and step/path connections, ensuring the design complements your property and daily parking needs.
