That cracked, uneven entrance letting down your Victorian terrace? A properly installed driveway transforms more than just kerb appeal – it's an investment that pays dividends every time you arrive home.

Wimbledon's mixture of period properties and modern developments presents unique challenges when installing driveways. Those charming Edwardian semis near the Common often feature narrow access points and mature tree roots that require careful planning. Meanwhile, newer builds around Raynes Park typically need solutions that complement contemporary architectural styles whilst managing surface water effectively.
Modern driveway installation goes beyond simply laying tarmac or block paving. Ground preparation determines longevity – proper excavation, sub-base compaction, and membrane installation prevent the dreaded sinking and pooling that plagues poorly installed surfaces. Material selection matters too: permeable options now satisfy SUDS regulations whilst resin-bound surfaces offer stunning aesthetics with minimal maintenance requirements.
Local knowledge counts when navigating Wimbledon's planning considerations and drainage challenges. Years of working across SW19 and SW20 mean understanding which materials suit sloping plots near Wimbledon Village and how to manage water runoff effectively in South Wimbledon's clay-heavy soil.

Standard two-car driveways in Wimbledon typically range from £3,500-£8,000, depending on materials chosen. Block paving sits around £75-90 per square metre, whilst premium resin-bound surfaces reach £95-120. Larger properties near the Village often require £10,000+ for extensive installations including proper drainage solutions.
Absolutely – from period properties around Wimbledon Common to modern developments in Raynes Park, we've installed driveways across SW19 and SW20. South Wimbledon's terraced streets through to the Village's substantial plots all fall within our regular working area.
Most residential driveways take 3-5 days from excavation to completion, weather permitting. Resin-bound surfaces cure within 24 hours, whilst concrete needs 7 days before vehicle use. Larger or complex installations occasionally extend to two weeks.
Every installation carries comprehensive 10-year coverage against structural failure, material defects, and workmanship issues. This includes settlement problems, surface degradation, and drainage failures – essentially everything except accidental damage or extreme weather events.
Sometimes overlay solutions work brilliantly, particularly when existing foundations remain sound. Resin-bound overlays transform tired tarmac cost-effectively, whilst thin block paving systems refresh concrete bases. However, drainage issues or significant damage usually necessitate complete replacement for lasting results.
