A well-built driveway makes school runs, deliveries and guest parking far easier, especially around Cheam Village and the SM2 and SM3 postcodes. We install new surfaces and carry out driveway repairs with careful preparation and tidy edges. Whether you want a smart entrance for an executive home or a practical solution for a busy family, we tailor the layout to your vehicles and access. Expect clear communication, clean workmanship and a finish that complements your frontage.
Cheam’s mix of period cottages, 1930s houses and larger modern properties calls for different approaches to levels, edging and detailing. For 1930s driveways we often widen entrances, add strong kerbs and create turning space without losing the garden’s character. On older plots near conservation considerations, we can propose sympathetic colours and permeable options. If your property has a sloping approach or limited front depth, we’ll design a workable parking arrangement that looks intentional, not squeezed in.
Our process starts with a site visit to measure, check falls and discuss how you use the space. We excavate properly, install a stable sub-base, set drainage where needed, then lay your chosen surface to manufacturer and industry standards. You’ll receive a written scope, transparent pricing and a clear schedule, with most projects completed in 2–5 days. Local homeowners choose us for reliable workmanship, respectful neighbours-first working, and aftercare advice that keeps the surface looking sharp.
In Cheam we regularly work around on-street parking, school-run traffic and tighter access, particularly near Nonsuch Park and Cheam Recreation Ground. Ground conditions can vary, so we adjust sub-base depth and compaction to suit. We also plan deliveries, waste removal and working hours to minimise disruption to neighbours. If your property sits within or near conservation considerations, we’ll discuss finishes and drainage that respect local requirements.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
Most projects in Cheam fall within £50–£120 per square metre depending on the surface and groundwork required. Typical total costs are around £2,000–£6,000 for a standard front driveway, with larger executive-home plots costing more. Resin and block paving can sit at the higher end, while gravel can be more cost-effective. We price after measuring, checking levels, and confirming drainage and edging details.
Most driveway installations take 2–5 days, depending on size, access and the chosen material. Excavation and sub-base work often take the longest, especially if the existing surface is thick or the ground is soft. Resin and tarmac can be laid quickly once preparation is complete, while block paving may take longer due to the detailed laying and cutting. Weather and curing times can also affect handover.
Many driveway projects are permitted development, but rules can apply around surface water drainage, dropped kerbs and properties in conservation areas. In general, using permeable materials or directing water to a suitable soakaway helps meet requirements. If you need a new or altered vehicle crossover, the council may need to approve it. We’ll flag likely issues early and can advise on compliant design choices before work starts.
Yes. We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for our driveway installations, covering issues such as sinking caused by inadequate sub-base preparation or poor installation. The warranty does not cover damage from heavy commercial vehicles, accidental impact, or problems caused by third-party alterations after completion. We also pass on relevant manufacturer guarantees where applicable (for example, certain resin systems). Clear aftercare guidance is included to protect your finish.
We install tarmac, concrete, gravel, block paved and resin driveways, plus targeted driveway repairs. Popular choices in Cheam include resin for a clean, modern look, and block paving for period-friendly detailing and borders. We can add kerbs, contrasting edges, steps, drainage channels and integrated pathways. During the survey we’ll discuss colour, texture, permeability and maintenance so you choose a surface that suits your home, budget and day-to-day parking needs.
