If your outdoor space needs a smarter finish, our paving team can transform it with robust, well-drained surfaces. We install block paving, natural stone and porcelain for patios, paths and driveways across SE6. Many clients find us when improving access or kerb appeal near Catford Broadway or around Mountsfield Park. Expect neat edges, clean falls and a result that suits the property.
Catford’s mix of Victorian terraces, 1930s semis and ex-council homes often comes with varied garden levels, narrow side access and older concrete bases. We regularly work in Hither Green, Bellingham and Downham, tailoring sub-base depth and drainage to each plot. Whether you need a practical parking area or a low-maintenance patio, we design paving that complements brickwork, render and boundary walls. Every installation is planned to reduce puddling and prevent future movement.
We start with a site survey, measurements and clear material samples, then provide a written specification. Groundworks are done properly: excavation, compacted MOT Type 1, correct bed, and precise jointing for long-term stability. We keep disruption down with tidy loading, considerate working hours and daily clean-ups. Homeowners choose us for transparent communication, dependable scheduling and workmanship backed by a 10-year warranty.
As paving contractors in London Borough of Lewisham, we’re used to tight access, controlled parking and busy roads around Catford Broadway. Ground conditions can vary between made-up ground and heavier clay, so we adjust excavation depth, compaction and drainage details accordingly. We also factor in levels to door thresholds and air bricks on older terraces. Where required, we plan waste removal and deliveries to minimise disruption for neighbours.

Costs depend on size, access, excavation depth and the paving you choose. As a guide, block paving is often around £90–£140 per m², while porcelain paving commonly ranges from £120–£180 per m². Natural stone can be £130–£220+ per m² depending on the stone and pattern. Repairs are usually priced by scope, typically from a few hundred pounds upwards after inspection.
Most patio paving projects take around 3–7 working days, while a typical driveway is often 5–10 working days. Timescales vary with the area size, the amount of excavation required, drainage or edging details, and whether we’re removing old concrete. Poor weather can slow down bedding and jointing, and restricted access in SE6 can affect how quickly materials are moved on and off site.
Many garden patios and paths are permitted development, but driveways can have rules around drainage and surface water. If you’re paving a front garden, it usually needs to be permeable or drain to a suitable soakaway rather than the street. Additional constraints may apply to flats, shared access, or certain property designations. We’ll advise on the likely requirements and can help you choose compliant paving and drainage details.
We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty on our paving installations, covering issues such as movement caused by inadequate sub-base preparation, poor compaction or incorrect laying. It also covers failures in edging restraint and jointing where these are part of our specification. Normal wear, accidental damage, and problems caused by third-party alterations aren’t included. We’ll explain care and maintenance so your paving keeps its finish for longer.
Block paving remains popular for driveways thanks to its strength and easy repairs, with colours chosen to suit Victorian brick and 1930s render. For patios, porcelain is a favourite for its low maintenance and slip-resistant finishes, while natural stone offers a softer, characterful look. We can include contrasting borders, steps, drainage channels and lighting-ready conduit routes. We’ll bring samples and recommend patterns that work with your space and budget.
