A well-built driveway makes daily parking easier and lifts the look of your frontage. We install and repair driveways across East Dulwich and Dulwich Village, with projects often near Dulwich Park and SE22 streets. Whether you need a fresh surface or a full redesign, we focus on drainage, durability and a crisp edge detail. Expect clear communication, tidy work and a finish that complements your property.
Dulwich is known for its Georgian and Victorian houses, plus larger detached properties where the approach and forecourt matter. We regularly work on narrow access routes and shared drive entrances typical around SE21 and SE24. Our team matches materials and edging to period brickwork, stone thresholds and traditional boundary walls. If you’re balancing parking space with planting, we’ll help you keep both.
We start with a site visit, levels check and a practical design that considers drainage and vehicle use. Next comes careful excavation, a properly compacted sub-base, then your chosen finish laid to manufacturer and British Standards guidance. Every job is managed for safe access, clean handovers and consistent workmanship. Local homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, transparent pricing and a 10-year warranty.
Working across the driveways Dulwich area means planning around controlled parking, school-run traffic near Dulwich College, and tight delivery access on residential roads. Ground conditions can vary, so we assess levels and specify the right sub-base depth for your site. We also consider practical turning circles and bin access, especially on Victorian terraces. If you’re looking for driveways in London Borough of Southwark, we’ll advise on drainage and any relevant council considerations before work starts.

Most projects in Dulwich fall within £50–£120 per square metre, depending on the surface and the groundwork required. As a guide, typical total costs are around £2,000–£6,000 for standard front drives. Resin and block paving often sit at the higher end, while gravel can be more economical. Excavation depth, drainage, edging, access and waste removal will all affect the final figure.
Most driveway installations take 2–5 days from excavation to completion, assuming straightforward access and good weather. Smaller repairs can be completed sooner, while larger areas or complex patterns in block paving may take longer. Timescales depend on the amount of digging, sub-base build-up, drainage work and curing time for concrete or resin systems. We’ll confirm a realistic schedule after surveying your property.
Many driveway projects are permitted development, but rules can apply depending on drainage and the materials used. If you’re creating a new hardstanding, using non-permeable surfaces over a certain area, or altering access, you may need to meet specific requirements. Conservation area considerations can also affect design choices. We’ll flag any likely issues, recommend permeable options where suitable, and help you check what applies before work begins.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our driveway installations, covering workmanship and installation-related defects under normal domestic use. This includes issues such as sinking caused by inadequate sub-base preparation or failures in laying methods. The warranty doesn’t cover accidental damage, misuse, or problems caused by external factors like tree roots or drainage failures outside the driveway area. We’ll explain care and maintenance to protect your finish.
We offer tarmac, concrete, gravel, block paved and resin driveways, plus targeted driveway repairs. For Dulwich homes, block paving and resin are popular for their clean look and colour choice, while tarmac suits simple, durable parking areas. Gravel works well where a softer, traditional frontage is preferred. We’ll help you choose based on your property style, drainage needs, budget and how you use the space day to day.
