That cracked concrete or muddy patch where you park? Time to sort it properly. Thornton Heath's mix of period properties and newer developments each need their own approach to creating the perfect driveway.

Victorian terraces line many CR7 streets, where narrow frontages demand clever design to maximise parking. Meanwhile, the semi-detached homes spreading towards South Norwood often have generous plots crying out for proper surfacing. Whether you're squeezing a car into a tight Brigstock Road space or planning multiple vehicles off London Road, getting the groundwork right matters as much as choosing between resin, block paving or tarmac.
Proper drainage prevents those puddles that plague Thornton Heath during autumn downpours. Ground levels need careful calculation, especially where driveways slope towards Victorian basements. Permeable surfaces now handle planning requirements whilst keeping your hallway mud-free. The clay soil common around Broad Green shifts seasonally, so reinforced sub-bases prevent future cracking.
Twenty-three years watching driveways fail taught us what works in CR7's specific conditions. Local knowledge beats fancy brochures every time when your neighbour's cheap job starts sinking after six months.

Most CR7 properties see costs between £2,800-£7,500, depending on size and materials. Resin-bound surfaces for a typical Victorian front garden run £3,500-£4,500, whilst larger semi-detached driveways in block paving might reach £6,000-£8,000.
Absolutely - from the High Street through to Grangewood Park, plus neighbouring Selhurst and the Broad Green corridor. Any CR7 postcode falls within our regular working area.
Block paving typically takes 5-7 working days including excavation and base preparation. Resin surfaces need 3-5 days but require dry weather. Tarmac can be quickest at 2-3 days for straightforward jobs.
Every installation carries our decade-long structural warranty covering settlement, drainage issues and material defects. This means any problems arising from workmanship get fixed without quibble for ten full years.
Yes, permeable options like resin-bound gravel or special block paving systems allow rainwater through whilst remaining fully compliant with current planning rules. These surfaces actually perform better than traditional concrete during heavy rain.
