Coulsdon’s mix of downland views and family homes deserves paving that looks sharp and performs in all weather. We design and build patios, paths and driveways that complement gardens near Happy Valley and the wider CR5 area. Whether you want a clean porcelain terrace or a traditional block paved drive, we handle the full build from excavation to finishing. Repairs and re-laying are available where existing paving has sunk, cracked or spread.
Our team works across large detached houses, well-kept 1930s properties and newer developments found around Old Coulsdon and Chipstead Valley. We match materials and laying patterns to the style of your frontage and garden, keeping levels neat against thresholds and lawns. If access is tight or you need to keep a parking space usable, we plan the job in stages. The result is paving that feels intentional, not “added on”.
We start with a site visit, clear measurements and a written specification covering sub-base depth, edging, falls and drainage. You’ll get material samples and a layout plan before we begin, so there are no surprises. Our paving is installed to prevent rocking, pooling and premature joint loss, with careful compaction and tidy detailing. Homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, clean working practices and workmanship backed by a 10-year warranty.
Coulsdon’s sloping plots and exposed spots near Coulsdon Common make drainage and levels especially important. We set falls away from the house, add channel drains where needed, and choose jointing suited to UK freeze-thaw cycles. Parking and access can be limited on some roads, so we organise deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption. As paving contractors in London Borough of Croydon, we also consider kerb appeal and practical vehicle turning space on wider frontages.

Costs vary by material, groundworks and access. As a guide, block paving often starts around £90–£140 per m², with premium blocks higher. Porcelain patios are commonly £110–£180 per m² due to cutting and bedding requirements. Natural stone is typically £120–£220 per m² depending on the stone and pattern. Driveways may need added excavation, edging and drainage, which affects totals.
Most patio paving projects take around 3–7 working days, depending on size, cuts and steps or retaining edges. Driveway paving is usually 5–10 working days because the sub-base and drainage need more build-up and compaction. Repairs or small pathways can be completed in 1–3 days. Timescales are affected by weather, access for machinery, waste removal, and whether we’re matching existing materials or patterns.
Many patios and garden paths are permitted development, and most driveways are fine if surface water drains to a permeable area within your boundary. If you’re paving over a front garden, rules can apply around permeability and drainage to the highway. Listed buildings, conservation considerations, and changes to dropped kerbs are separate matters. We’ll advise what’s likely required and can help you check Croydon Council guidance before work starts.
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 significant settlement related to our build. Normal wear, accidental damage, and problems caused by third-party alterations aren’t included. Manufacturer warranties on paving slabs or blocks apply separately, and we’ll supply care guidance to keep your finish looking its best.
We install block paving (including herringbone and basketweave), natural stone such as sandstone or granite, and modern porcelain paving for a clean, low-porosity finish. For driveways, we’ll recommend patterns and edge restraints that handle vehicle loads. For patios, we can add steps, contrasting borders, and seamless pathways to connect zones. We help you choose colours and textures that suit your property, then set out the design so joints and cuts look balanced.
