Sydenham’s Victorian villas, Edwardian houses and period conversions often have narrow access, established planting and original brickwork to protect. We plan levels carefully to avoid damp issues and to create a smooth transition from pavement to threshold. For sloping plots near Sydenham Hill Wood, we design falls and channels to manage run-off. The result is a driveway that complements the character of your home rather than fighting it.

Most Sydenham driveway projects fall between £2,000 and £6,000, depending on size, access and the finish you choose. As a guide, expect around £50–£120 per square metre. Gravel and tarmac tend to sit at the lower end, while resin and premium block paving are usually higher due to materials and labour. Repairs can be more cost-effective if the base is sound.
A typical driveway installation takes 2–5 days, covering excavation, sub-base, edging and the final surface. Timescales can change depending on the driveway size, whether old materials need removing, and how much level correction or drainage work is required. Weather can also affect curing times for concrete or resin. We’ll confirm a realistic schedule after a site visit and keep you updated throughout.
Many driveway installations are permitted development, but rules can apply to drainage, materials and vehicle crossovers.

We install tarmac, concrete, gravel, block paved and resin driveways, plus targeted driveway repairs.

Gravel suits lighter-use parking and can be very cost-effective with stabilisation. We’ll help you choose colours, edging and drainage details based on your property and how you use the space.
