From family gardens near Carshalton Ponds to front driveways around Carshalton Beeches, we create paving that looks sharp and performs year-round. Choose block paving for classic patterns, natural stone for character, or porcelain for a sleek, low-maintenance finish. We also handle pathway paving and patio paving to connect your outdoor spaces cleanly. If your existing surface has sunk or cracked, our paving repairs restore safety and appearance.
Carshalton’s mix of Victorian and Edwardian houses, period properties and 1930s semis often calls for sympathetic paving colours and edging details. We regularly work across SM5, including Hackbridge and Wallington, matching materials to brickwork, boundary walls and garden levels. For older plots, we pay close attention to falls and thresholds so paving sits neatly against doorways and air bricks. The result is a surface that complements your home rather than competing with it.
Our process starts with a site survey, clear design options and a written specification for the sub-base, bedding and jointing. We excavate to the correct depth, compact in layers and set accurate falls to manage surface water. Homeowners choose us because we turn up when we say we will, keep the site tidy, and communicate throughout. All installations are backed by a 10-year warranty for peace of mind.
As paving contractors carshalton area homeowners rely on, we plan for tight access, shared driveways and on-street parking common in SM5. Ground conditions can vary between older gardens and made-up frontages, so we adjust excavation depth and compaction accordingly. We also consider London Borough of Sutton requirements around drainage and permeable surfaces where needed. Every design is tailored to the property style and levels on site.

Costs vary by material, access and groundwork. As a guide, block paving often starts around £90–£140 per m², while natural stone is commonly £120–£200+ per m². Porcelain patios are typically £110–£190 per m² depending on slab size and jointing system. Repairs can range from £250–£1,500+ depending on the affected area and whether the sub-base needs rebuilding.
Most patio paving projects take around 3–7 days, while driveway paving is often 5–10 days, depending on size and complexity. Timescales can increase if we’re removing old concrete, rebuilding a failed sub-base, adding drainage channels, or creating steps and retaining edges. Weather can also affect curing and jointing. We’ll confirm a realistic programme after the site survey and keep you updated throughout.
Many paving projects are permitted development, especially patios and garden paths. For front driveways, rules often focus on surface water: if the area is over 5m², you usually need a permeable surface or drainage to a soakaway rather than the public highway. There may be extra considerations for listed buildings or conservation areas. We’ll advise on the best compliant approach and check requirements before work begins.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our paving installations, covering workmanship issues such as sub-base failure, significant settlement, and edge restraints coming loose when installed as specified. It also covers problems linked to incorrect falls or drainage details we’ve built. Normal wear, staining, accidental damage and issues caused by third-party alterations aren’t included. We’ll explain care and maintenance so your paving stays looking its best.
We install block paving in popular patterns like herringbone and basketweave, natural stone such as sandstone or granite for period character, and porcelain for a contemporary, stain-resistant patio. For driveways, we can include contrasting borders, kerb edging and drainage channels. We’ll help you choose colours to suit brickwork and pointing, and we’ll design falls, steps and pathways so everything connects cleanly and safely.
