Costs vary by material, access and groundwork. As a guide, block paving for driveways is often £90–£140 per m², while natural stone patios typically range £120–£200 per m². Porcelain paving is commonly £110–£180 per m² depending on slab size and edge details. Repairs can start from a few hundred pounds, but larger re-lays and drainage fixes increase the total.
Most patio paving projects take around 3–7 working days, while a typical driveway is often 5–10 working days. Timescales depend on excavation depth, waste removal, weather, and whether steps, drainage channels or edging kerbs are needed. Access in streets around Gipsy Hill and Anerley can also affect deliveries and skip placement. We provide a realistic programme before work starts and keep you updated daily.
Many patios and garden paths are permitted development, and most driveways are allowed if surface water drains to a permeable area or suitable drainage is installed. Rules can differ across borough boundaries and may be stricter for flats, conversions, or where conservation considerations apply. We’ll advise on permeable block paving options, falls and drainage channels, and we can highlight when you should check with the relevant council before proceeding.
We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty on our paving installations, covering issues linked to installation such as sub-base failure, movement caused by inadequate compaction, and defects in laying and jointing. Materials are also covered by manufacturer warranties where applicable (for example, porcelain and certain stone products). The warranty assumes normal use and correct maintenance, and we’ll explain care requirements for your chosen finish.
We install block paving in a range of colours and patterns (including herringbone for driveways), natural stone such as sandstone or limestone for a timeless look, and porcelain paving for a crisp, low-maintenance patio. Popular design features include contrasting borders, soldier course edging, steps, and integrated drainage. We’ll bring samples, discuss slip resistance and jointing, and help you choose a layout that suits your property and budget.
