We install and repair driveways across CR5, including Old Coulsdon and routes leading towards Farthing Downs. From a clean, modern resin finish to practical gravel, we tailor the build to your frontage and parking needs. Expect tidy workmanship, clear communication and a driveway that looks right with your property.
The Coulsdon area has a mix of large detached houses, well-proportioned 1930s properties and newer developments where off-street parking is a priority. We design entrances that suit wider front gardens in Chipstead Valley as well as tighter access points in Hooley. Our team considers sight lines, turning space and drainage so you can park comfortably without damaging verges or borders. If you’re refreshing an older surface, we can also match materials to existing paths and brickwork.
We start with a site visit to check levels, sub-base condition and drainage, then provide a written, itemised quote. Installation includes proper excavation, a compacted sub-base and crisp edging so the surface stays stable. We protect surrounding planting, keep disruption low, and leave the site clean at the end of each day. Every new driveway comes with our 10-year workmanship warranty, which is why homeowners recommend us for driveways coulsdon area projects.
As a semi-rural part of the London Borough of Croydon, Coulsdon can have softer verges, leaf debris and run-off from downland edges. We adapt excavation depths and sub-base build-ups to suit ground conditions and vehicle loads. Access and parking can be tricky on some roads, so we plan deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption. For driveways in London Borough of Croydon, we also factor in permeable surfacing where needed.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
Most Coulsdon driveway projects fall between £50–£120 per square metre, depending on the surface and groundworks required. Typical overall budgets are around £2,000–£6,000 for a standard front parking area. Resin and block paving usually sit at the higher end, while gravel can be more cost-effective. Price is influenced by excavation depth, drainage needs, edging, access for machinery and waste removal.
Most driveway installations take 2–5 days from excavation to finished surface, assuming normal access and weather. Smaller gravel or tarmac jobs can be quicker, while block paving and resin systems may need extra preparation and curing time. Timescales also depend on how much old material must be removed, whether levels need correcting, and if new drainage channels or soakaways are required. We confirm a schedule before work begins.
In many cases, a new or replacement driveway is permitted development, but rules can apply if you’re changing levels, altering a dropped kerb, or using non-permeable surfacing over a large area. The London Borough of Croydon may expect suitable drainage to prevent water running onto the highway. We’ll advise on permeable options such as resin-bound or permeable block paving and help you understand when permissions or approvals may be needed.
Yes. Our new driveway installations come with a 10-year workmanship warranty for peace of mind. It covers issues linked to installation quality, such as movement caused by inadequate sub-base preparation or edging failures, subject to normal use and maintenance. Materials may also carry manufacturer warranties, depending on the product chosen. For repairs, we explain what’s achievable and confirm the scope in writing before starting.
Homeowners often choose resin-bound driveways for a clean, contemporary look, or block paving to complement brickwork on 1930s properties. Tarmac is a durable, cost-effective option for larger areas, while concrete suits simple, low-maintenance layouts. Gravel remains popular for rural-leaning frontages near open spaces, especially with stabilisation grids. We’ll help you choose colours, edging and patterns to suit parking needs, drainage and the style of your home.
