A well-built driveway makes daily parking easier, keeps the frontage tidy, and adds value to your property. We install and repair driveways across CR8, including around Purley Cross and up towards Riddlesdown. Whether you need a fresh surface, better drainage, or a smarter entrance, we’ll recommend a solution that fits your plot and usage. Expect clear options, tidy workmanship, and a finish that looks right for your street.
Purley’s mix of large detached houses, 1930s properties and period homes calls for driveway designs that complement the architecture. We often create wider parking bays, turning areas, and discreet edging to suit family homes and larger vehicles. For sloping approaches near the North Downs, we plan gradients carefully to reduce runoff and improve traction. If you’re in Purley Oaks, Kenley or Sanderstead, we can match materials to existing paths, brickwork and boundary walls.
Our process starts with a site visit, measurements and a written quote with itemised options. We handle excavation, sub-base installation, edging, drainage considerations and a clean, even finish—then remove waste responsibly. You’ll get straightforward communication, punctual scheduling, and a final walk-through before sign-off. Local homeowners choose us for reliable timelines, careful prep work, and a 10-year warranty for peace of mind.
We’re used to access and parking constraints near Purley Way and busier routes around Purley Cross, so deliveries and waste removal are planned to minimise disruption. Ground conditions can vary with elevation towards Riddlesdown, so we adjust excavation depth and sub-base specification accordingly. For larger driveways common in CR8, we also plan turning circles and edging details to keep the frontage looking sharp. If permeable surfacing is advisable, we’ll explain compliant options and drainage layouts.

Most projects in Purley fall within £50–£120 per square metre, depending on the surface and the amount of groundwork required. Typical total costs are often £2,000–£6,000 for a standard front driveway, but larger detached plots can be more. Excavation depth, drainage needs, edging, waste removal and access for machinery all influence the final figure. We provide a clear, itemised quote after a site visit.
Most driveway installations take 2–5 days, depending on size, material choice and how much excavation is needed. Block paving and resin systems can take longer than tarmac if there’s extensive edging or a complex pattern. Weather, curing times, and any drainage work can also affect the schedule. We’ll confirm the programme before starting and keep you updated daily, including when it’s safe to park on the new surface.
Many driveway projects are permitted development, but rules can apply—especially around surface water drainage and the use of non-permeable materials on front gardens. In the London Borough of Croydon, you may need to ensure runoff doesn’t discharge onto the highway or into drains incorrectly. We’ll advise on permeable options such as resin-bound or gravel, and we can help you understand any requirements before work begins.
Yes. We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for new driveway installations, covering issues such as sinking caused by inadequate sub-base preparation, loose edging, or installation-related defects. Materials may also carry manufacturer guarantees, depending on the product chosen. The warranty doesn’t cover accidental damage, misuse, or problems caused by third-party alterations, but we’re always happy to inspect and advise if any concerns arise.
We install tarmac, concrete, gravel, block paved and resin driveways, plus driveway repairs for worn or uneven surfaces. Block paving is popular for 1930s homes thanks to its neat borders and colour options, while resin-bound suits a cleaner, modern look with permeability. Tarmac works well for larger areas and quick turnarounds. We’ll help you choose colours, edging and layouts that suit your property and parking needs across the driveways Purley area.
