A well-built driveway makes daily parking easier and lifts the look of your frontage. We install and repair driveways across BR7, from Elmstead to Mottingham, with finishes that complement local architecture. Whether you’re near Chislehurst Common or heading towards St Nicholas Church, we design for practical access and a clean, tidy finish. Expect clear communication, careful ground preparation and a result that lasts.
Chislehurst features large detached houses, Victorian villas and characterful period properties, often with generous front gardens and mature planting. That means driveway layouts need to balance parking, turning space and roots or existing edging. We regularly work on wider plots as well as tighter entrances where visibility and levels matter. Our designs aim to look proportionate to the house while staying easy to maintain year-round.
We start with a site visit to assess levels, drainage and the best entrance position, then provide a detailed written quote. Installation includes proper excavation, a stable sub-base, accurate edging and a finish laid to manufacturer and British Standard expectations where applicable. We keep disruption down with organised deliveries and a tidy site at the end of each day. Local homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, workmanship you can inspect, and a 10-year warranty for peace of mind.
Across the driveways chislehurst area, we often encounter mixed ground and established tree roots, especially near open green spaces like Chislehurst Common. We plan excavation depths carefully, use robust sub-bases, and recommend edging that prevents spread on sloped or wider frontages. Access and on-street parking can be tight on some roads, so we schedule deliveries to keep disruption low. We also consider drainage expectations common to driveways in London Borough of Bromley.

Most driveway projects in Chislehurst fall between £50–£120 per square metre depending on the surface (gravel is usually lower; resin and premium block paving higher). Typical total spend is around £2,000–£6,000 for an average front driveway, but size, excavation depth, drainage, edging, and access for machinery can move the figure up or down. We’ll survey and provide a clear, itemised quote.
Most installations take 2–5 days, depending on area size, the amount of excavation required and the chosen finish. Block paving and resin systems can take longer due to detailed laying and curing times, while tarmac can be quicker once the base is ready. Weather, access for skips and deliveries, and any drainage upgrades also affect the schedule. We’ll confirm timings before work begins.
Many driveway installations are permitted development, but rules can apply around drainage and the use of impermeable surfaces to the front of a property. If you’re changing levels, altering access, or your home is listed or in a sensitive area, extra checks may be needed. We’ll advise on SUDS-compliant options and help you understand what applies before starting, so there are no avoidable delays.
Yes. Our driveway installations come with a 10-year warranty covering workmanship, including issues such as settlement caused by inadequate base preparation, edging failure, or installation defects. Normal wear, accidental damage, and problems caused by third-party alterations aren’t included, and some surfaces have manufacturer guidance for care and cleaning. We’ll explain what’s covered for your chosen material and provide aftercare advice to protect the finish.
