Cheam homeowners want paving that complements a conservation-area setting while standing up to daily use. Whether you’re upgrading a driveway near Cheam Village or creating a new patio for summer dining after a walk in Nonsuch Park, we build surfaces that look sharp and drain correctly. Our team covers SM2 and SM3 with a full design-to-install service. Expect tidy workmanship, clear communication, and a finish that lifts kerb appeal.
The Cheam area includes period cottages, 1930s houses and larger executive homes, each with different access and layout challenges. We regularly design wider driveway entrances for family cars, discreet pathways to side gates, and patio zones that work with existing steps and garden levels. For 1930s front gardens, we can blend traditional block patterns with modern edging. For executive homes, porcelain paving and natural stone create a clean, architectural look.
We start with a site visit to measure, check levels, and discuss how you use the space. Next comes a written specification covering sub-base depth, drainage, edging and jointing—so you know exactly what’s included. Installations are completed with proper compaction and falls, then finished with careful cutting and detailing. Homeowners choose our paving contractors Cheam area for reliable scheduling, respectful neighbours-first working, and workmanship backed by a 10-year warranty.
Access and parking can be tight around North Cheam and near Cheam Recreation Ground, so we plan deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption. Many properties have sloping drives or raised thresholds, requiring accurate levels and well-placed drainage. We also consider conservation-area character where relevant, matching colours and edges to period detailing. As paving contractors in London Borough of Sutton, we work to practical standards that suit local streets and family homes.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
Costs vary by material, ground preparation and access. As a guide in Cheam, block paving typically starts around £90–£140 per m², while natural stone is often £120–£200+ per m². Porcelain patios commonly fall in the £130–£220+ per m² range due to specialist bedding and jointing. Driveway projects may also need drainage, edging and waste removal, which can affect the overall figure.
Most patio paving in Cheam takes around 3–7 days, depending on size, cuts, steps and drainage details. Driveway paving is often 5–10 days, especially if excavation is deeper or there’s a lot of spoil to remove. Timescales can change with poor ground conditions, restricted access in SM2/SM3 streets, or if you’re adding features like recessed manholes, lighting ducts or retaining edges.
In many cases, paving a garden patio doesn’t need planning permission. For front driveways, the key issue is drainage: if you’re paving over more than 5m², the surface should be permeable or drain to a suitable area within your property rather than the public highway. Rules can be stricter in conservation areas around Cheam Village. We’ll advise on compliant options and check requirements before work begins.
We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty on our paving installations, covering issues such as sinking caused by inadequate sub-base preparation, loose edging, and failures linked to installation methods. Materials are covered by manufacturer warranties where applicable, and we’ll explain those at quotation stage. To keep your paving looking its best, we also advise on cleaning, re-sanding for block paving, and suitable sealers if you choose to apply them.
Cheam homeowners often choose block paving in traditional colours for 1930s houses, with charcoal borders for definition. Natural stone (like sandstone or limestone) suits period cottages and larger gardens, while porcelain paving is popular for contemporary patios with low-maintenance joints. We can also create pathways, steps and matching thresholds, plus commercial paving where needed. We’ll bring samples, discuss slip resistance and maintenance, and design a layout that fits your property.
