South Croydon homeowners often want a smart surface that suits both period character and modern kerb appeal. Our imprinted concrete is ideal for driveways and patios, delivering the look of stone or brick with a seamless, easy-clean finish. We regularly work around CR2, including routes near South Croydon station and walks out towards Lloyd Park. The result is a practical surface that looks tailored to your home, not off-the-shelf.
The South Croydon area includes large detached houses, 1930s semis and Victorian villas, each with different frontage sizes and garden layouts. We design pours and pattern layouts to complement bay windows, brickwork tones and existing paths. For homes in Sanderstead, Selsdon, Purley and wider Croydon, we can create a driveway that reads as “original” to the property while improving parking and access. Colour and edging choices are selected to work with your façade and planting scheme.
We start with a site visit, levels check and a clear specification, then prepare a stable sub-base before pouring and imprinting. Once cured, we apply sealing to enhance colour, improve stain resistance and reduce weathering. Our team keeps access and safety tidy throughout, with straightforward communication from start to finish. Fine Landscaping is based just 15 minutes away, so aftercare and resealing advice is always close at hand.
In the London Borough of Croydon, we often encounter mixed ground conditions and sloping drives, especially near green spaces like Croham Hurst Woods. We set falls carefully to manage surface water and plan pours to suit restricted access and on-street parking. For CR2 properties, we also consider bin routes, door thresholds and garage levels to avoid awkward steps. Pattern direction and joints are planned to look right against Victorian and 1930s façades.

Costs vary with area size, excavation depth, access and the pattern/colour you choose. As a guide in South Croydon, many projects fall around £90–£140 per m² for standard designs, with more complex borders, multiple colours or heavier groundwork sometimes £140–£180 per m². Driveway replacements can also include waste removal, drainage adjustments and edging, which affect the overall budget. We provide a detailed, itemised quote after a survey.
Most patio installations take around 2–4 days, while driveways commonly take 3–7 days, depending on size and groundwork. Time is influenced by excavation, sub-base build-up, drainage work, weather, and curing periods before sealing. We’ll confirm a schedule before starting and keep you updated if rain or low temperatures affect the pour. You’ll also get clear guidance on when it’s safe to walk and drive on the surface.
Many driveway and patio projects are permitted development, but rules can apply around surface water drainage, listed buildings and conservation areas. For front gardens, the key point is usually ensuring water drains to a permeable area or suitable drainage system rather than the public highway. We’ll discuss your layout in advance and, where needed, recommend compliant drainage details. If permissions or approvals are required, we can help you understand what to check before work begins.
Yes. We provide a 10-year warranty covering installation-related issues such as structural failure from incorrect base preparation, significant cracking beyond normal movement, and delamination where applicable. It also reflects our commitment to correct levels, falls and edging. The warranty doesn’t cover misuse, impact damage, or lack of maintenance such as ignoring resealing guidance. We’ll explain care requirements clearly, including cleaning and when to reseal for best long-term performance.
You can choose from stone patterns, brick patterns, slate patterns and cobble patterns, with custom colours to suit your property. Popular combinations in South Croydon include warm greys for slate, buff tones for stone, and traditional red-brown brick effects with contrasting borders. We’ll bring samples, talk through how sealing deepens colour, and help you pick an option that complements your driveway width, garden planting and the style of your home. Layout and edging are tailored to your space.
