Local properties include Victorian terraces, Georgian houses and purpose-built flats, often with compact front gardens and shared access routes. That means careful planning for falls, drainage and storage of materials, especially on tighter streets around Camberwell and Herne Hill. We match paving styles to period brickwork and boundary details, whether you want a traditional block pattern or a crisp porcelain look. Every job starts with measuring, levels and a practical design that fits how you use the space.
Our process is straightforward: site visit, written quotation, then proper excavation and a well-compacted sub-base before any paving goes down. We install edging, set accurate falls, and finish with jointing that suits the chosen material. You’ll get regular updates, respectful working hours and a clean handover. Homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, durable results and workmanship backed by a 10-year warranty.

Costs depend on material, access, excavation depth and drainage requirements. As a guide, block paving is often £90–£140 per m², natural stone £120–£200 per m², and porcelain £110–£190 per m², including sub-base and installation. Driveways may cost more if you need stronger build-ups, edging and soakaway solutions. Repairs are usually priced by area and complexity 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 site access in SE5, the amount of excavation, waste removal, steps or retaining edges, and whether drainage channels or soakaways are needed. Weather can also affect bedding and jointing. We’ll confirm a realistic programme after the site survey and keep you updated throughout.
Many paving projects are permitted development, particularly patios and garden paths. For front driveways, rules can apply if you’re paving over more than 5m² and the surface isn’t permeable or doesn’t drain to a suitable area within your property. Listed buildings or properties in conservation areas may have extra constraints. We’ll flag likely requirements, recommend compliant drainage solutions, and help you check Southwark guidance before work begins.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our paving installation workmanship, covering issues such as sinking caused by inadequate sub-base preparation, loose edging, and installation-related movement. It doesn’t cover accidental damage, extreme ground movement outside our control, or lack of maintenance such as blocked drainage. We also use quality materials and correct jointing methods to reduce weed ingress and keep the surface stable. Warranty terms are supplied in writing.
We install block paving in a range of colours and patterns (herringbone is popular for driveways), natural stone such as sandstone, limestone and granite, and modern porcelain for a crisp, low-porosity finish. For pathways, we can create stepping layouts, contrasting borders and neat soldier-course edging. We’ll help you choose based on slip resistance, maintenance, period style (Victorian/Georgian) and how the space is used day to day.
