Those narrow Victorian frontages along Norbury Avenue present unique challenges – maximising parking whilst preserving period charm requires careful material selection. Block paving remains popular here, though permeable options increasingly suit the area's clay soil and drainage concerns. Recent projects near Norbury Station have shown how creative patterns can make even the smallest spaces feel substantial.
Material choice depends heavily on your property's specific conditions. Resin-bound surfaces cope brilliantly with the slight slopes common around Pollards Hill, whilst traditional gravel suits the leafier parts toward Streatham Common. Installation involves excavating to appropriate depths, establishing proper drainage channels, then laying your chosen surface with precision edges that withstand years of use.
Twenty-three years working across South London means understanding each neighbourhood's quirks. Norbury residents appreciate straightforward advice about planning permissions, especially near conservation boundaries toward Thornton Heath.

A standard two-car driveway typically ranges £3,500-£7,000 depending on materials. Resin-bound surfaces start around £65 per square metre, whilst quality block paving runs £75-£100. Properties near Norbury Park often require additional drainage work, adding £500-£1,000.
Absolutely – from the Edwardian streets near Norbury Station through to modern developments around Pollards Hill. Regular work takes us across SW16 postcodes and into CR7 toward Thornton Heath, including those tricky Victorian conversions along London Road.
Most residential driveways take 3-5 days from excavation to completion. Resin surfaces cure within 24 hours, whilst block paving needs settling time. Weather permitting, you'll park on your new surface within a week of starting.
Every installation carries decade-long protection against subsidence and material defects. This covers both workmanship and materials, with annual check-ups included for the first two years. Documentation meets insurance requirements common to South London properties.
