Lewisham is a major transport hub, so off-street parking is a real advantage for many households. We install and repair driveways across SE13, including routes near Lewisham station and Lewisham Shopping Centre where access and traffic need careful planning. Whether you want a fresh surface or a full redesign, we focus on drainage, durability, and a finish that suits your frontage. Expect straightforward advice and a result that looks sharp from day one.
Homes in the driveways Lewisham area range from Victorian terraces to Edwardian houses, alongside newer developments around Ladywell and Hither Green. Each property type brings different constraints—narrow front gardens, shared boundaries, or sloping approaches. We design layouts that maximise parking without making the entrance feel cramped. Edging, levels and thresholds are set properly so doors, paths and bins still work smoothly.
Our process starts with a site visit to measure, check levels, and confirm drainage requirements. We then prepare a solid sub-base, install neat edging, and lay your chosen surface with clean lines and careful compaction. You’ll get a clear schedule (typically 2–5 days), polite crews, and a tidy handover. Local homeowners choose us for reliable communication, durable workmanship, and a 10-year warranty.

Most driveway projects in Lewisham fall within £50–£120 per square metre, depending on the surface and the amount of groundwork required. Typical overall budgets are around £2,000–£6,000 for a standard front garden conversion. Resin and block paving often sit towards the higher end, while gravel can be more cost-effective. Final pricing depends on access, excavation depth, edging, drainage, and waste removal.
Most driveway installations take 2–5 days, including excavation, sub-base installation, edging and the final surface. Timescales vary with the size of the area, site access (common on SE13 streets), and whether drainage changes are needed. Weather can also affect curing times for concrete or resin. We’ll provide a clear programme before starting and keep you updated if anything on-site changes the plan.
In many cases, a new or replacement driveway is permitted development, but rules can apply—especially around surface water drainage and changes to access/kerbs. Using a permeable surface or directing run-off to a suitable soakaway is often required. If your home is in a conservation area or you’re altering the dropped kerb, permissions may be needed. We’ll flag likely requirements and help you stay compliant before work begins.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for new driveway installations, covering issues linked to installation such as unstable areas, sinking caused by inadequate sub-base preparation, or edge failure. Materials may also come with manufacturer guarantees depending on the product chosen. The warranty doesn’t cover accidental damage, misuse, or problems caused by third-party alterations or underlying issues outside the agreed scope. We’ll explain coverage clearly at handover.
Popular options include block paved driveways for period homes, resin driveways for a modern, seamless look, and tarmac driveways for a clean, practical finish. Gravel can work well where you want a softer appearance and easy maintenance, while concrete suits simple, robust layouts. We’ll help you choose colours, edging and patterns to complement brickwork and boundary walls, and we can incorporate drainage channels and pathways for a cohesive frontage.
