Carshalton has a strong mix of Victorian and Edwardian houses, 1930s semis and other period properties, each with different front garden depths and access widths. We regularly work on narrow crossovers, shared drive entrances and sloping approaches where levels need careful setting-out. If you’re in Hackbridge or Wallington, we’ll match the driveway style to your brickwork, boundary walls and existing paving. Our designs aim for practical turning space without losing the character of the frontage.
We start with a site visit, measure-up and clear written specification, then prepare the sub-base properly for long-term stability. Installation is scheduled to minimise disruption, with materials delivered safely and the site kept tidy each day. You’ll get straightforward guidance on maintenance and aftercare, plus a 10-year warranty for peace of mind. Homeowners choose us for reliable communication, neat workmanship and finishes that last.
We understand the access and parking pressures common across the driveways Carshalton area, especially on residential roads near schools and parks. Ground conditions and levels vary, so we design sub-bases and drainage to suit the site rather than using a one-size approach. Where crossovers or surface water are a concern, we’ll discuss permeable finishes and practical falls. We also work with the expectations typical of driveways in London Borough of Sutton, keeping the job compliant and tidy.

Most projects in SM5 fall within £50–£120 per square metre, depending on the surface you choose and the amount of groundwork required. Typical total costs are often £2,000–£6,000 for an average front drive, but larger areas, complex levels, drainage, or premium block paving/resin can increase this. We provide a clear written quote after a site visit, with options to suit different budgets.
Most driveway installations take 2–5 days, depending on size, access and the chosen material. Excavation, sub-base compaction and edging are key stages that affect the schedule, as does any drainage work. Resin and block paving can take longer than a straightforward tarmac overlay if more preparation is needed. We’ll confirm timings before we start and keep you updated if weather delays occur.
In many cases, a new or replacement driveway is permitted development, particularly when using a permeable surface or directing water to a suitable soakaway. However, rules can apply around new vehicle crossovers, drainage to the highway, and work near listed buildings or certain frontage changes. We’ll talk you through the likely requirements for your property and advise what checks are sensible before work begins.
