Clapham’s mix of traffic, tight parking and front gardens means a driveway needs to be practical as well as smart. We install and refurbish driveways across SW4 and SW11, including Clapham North and Clapham Old Town. Whether you’re near Clapham Common or commuting via Clapham Junction station, we plan access and timings to keep disruption down. Choose from tarmac, concrete, gravel, block paving or resin finishes.
Local homes range from Georgian townhouses and Victorian terraces to modern apartments with shared forecourts. We match edging, colours and laying patterns to suit period brickwork and traditional boundary walls, while keeping gradients subtle for everyday use. For terraces with short frontages, we prioritise turning space and durable thresholds. For newer builds, we can create crisp, contemporary lines with resin or large-format blocks.
We start with a site survey, levels check and drainage plan, then prepare the base properly to prevent sinking and puddling. Every job is installed to a clear specification, with tidy waste removal and a clean handover. Homeowners choose us for straightforward communication, punctual crews and workmanship that lasts. Our team is based just 20 minutes away, so follow-up support is quick and practical.
We’re used to the access challenges around Clapham Park and the busier roads near Clapham Junction station. In the driveways Clapham area, parking suspensions, skip placement and delivery timings can matter as much as the build itself, so we plan logistics early. Ground conditions vary, so we adjust excavation depth and base build-up to suit. We also consider surface-water rules for driveways in London Borough of Lambeth/Wandsworth and recommend permeable options where appropriate.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
In Clapham, driveway installation typically falls between £50 and £120 per square metre, depending on the material and the amount of groundwork required. Many homeowners spend around £2,000 to £6,000 for a typical front garden conversion. Resin and block paving can sit at the higher end, while gravel can be more budget-friendly. Edging, steps, drainage and removal of old surfaces will affect the final figure.
Most driveway projects in Clapham take 2 to 5 days from excavation to finish, assuming normal access and weather. Smaller gravel or tarmac jobs can be quicker, while block paving and resin systems may need extra time for base preparation and curing. Timescales also depend on how much old material must be removed, whether drainage channels are required, and any restrictions on deliveries or parking on your street.
Many driveway works are permitted development, but rules often focus on surface-water drainage. If you’re creating or replacing a front driveway over a certain size, you may need a permeable surface (such as resin-bound or permeable block paving) or drainage to a suitable soakaway. Requirements can differ between the London Borough of Lambeth/Wandsworth and conservation areas. We’ll advise on compliant options and flag anything that may need council approval.
Yes. We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for new driveway installations, covering issues such as settlement caused by inadequate base preparation, edge movement and installation-related defects. Materials may also carry manufacturer guarantees, depending on the product chosen. The warranty doesn’t cover damage from heavy vehicles beyond the design load, accidental impact, or problems caused by third-party alterations. We’ll explain care guidance to help your driveway last.
Clapham homeowners often choose block paving for traditional Victorian terraces, resin-bound for a clean, modern look, and tarmac for a neat, hard-wearing finish. Gravel can work well for softer, period-style front gardens when properly edged and stabilised. We’ll help you select colours, borders and patterns that suit your façade and practical needs, then confirm levels and drainage so the finished driveway looks right and performs well.
