Elephant & Castle’s regeneration has brought new courtyards, terraces and shared access routes that need paving done properly. Whether you’re near Elephant Park or commuting past Strata Tower, we create surfaces that look premium and cope with daily footfall. Our team handles patio paving, pathway paving and driveway paving with clean lines and tidy edges. We also carry out fast, durable paving repairs when existing areas have sunk or cracked.
Homes around Kennington and Walworth range from Victorian terraces with compact front gardens to modern high-rises and new-build apartments with balconies and podium spaces. That mix affects design, load requirements and access for materials. We regularly work with tight side returns, basement lightwells and shared entrances where noise and timing matter. If you want paving that complements brickwork, render or contemporary cladding, we’ll match colours and formats to suit.
We start with a site visit, levels check and a clear written specification covering excavation depth, sub-base and drainage. Every job is laid on a properly compacted foundation, with falls set to move water away from the property. You’ll get straightforward updates, respectful workmanship and a finish that’s built for London weather. Local homeowners choose us for consistent quality, reliable scheduling and aftercare that doesn’t disappear once the last slab is down.
As paving contractors in London Borough of Southwark, we plan for busy streets, restricted parking and delivery windows common around SE1 and SE17. Many properties have limited access, so we organise materials efficiently and keep pathways safe and tidy. Ground conditions can vary between older terraces and newer developments, so we adjust sub-base build-ups and drainage details accordingly. We also help you choose finishes that suit modern schemes around Newington and Borough without looking out of place.

Costs vary by material, access and groundwork. As a guide, block paving often starts around £90–£140 per m², while natural stone is commonly £120–£200+ per m² depending on the stone type and sizes. Porcelain paving is typically £110–£190 per m². Repairs or partial re-lays can be from £300–£1,500+ depending on the affected area and whether the sub-base needs rebuilding.
Most patio or pathway projects take 2–5 days, while a full driveway paving installation is often 4–10 days. Timescales depend on excavation depth, waste removal, drainage changes, curing time for bedding/jointing, and site access (common around busier roads near Elephant & Castle Shopping Centre). Weather can also slow progress. We’ll confirm a realistic schedule after a site survey and keep disruption to a minimum.
Many garden patios and paths are permitted development, and driveways are often allowed if surface water drains to a permeable area or suitable drainage is installed. However, rules can change for flats, listed buildings, conservation areas, or where you’re altering access/kerbs. We’ll advise on permeable block paving and drainage options, and we can help you check Southwark requirements before work starts to avoid any compliance issues.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for new paving installations, covering issues such as settlement caused by inadequate sub-base preparation, loose edging and installation-related movement. Materials are also covered by manufacturer guarantees where applicable. The warranty doesn’t cover damage from impact, tree-root movement, or third-party alterations, but we’re always happy to inspect and advise. We also offer aftercare guidance for cleaning and re-sanding joints.
We install block paving in a range of colours and patterns (herringbone is popular for driveways), natural stone such as sandstone, limestone and granite for a timeless look, and porcelain paving for a crisp, modern finish with low maintenance. We can include contrasting borders, steps, recessed drainage channels and lighting-ready routes. We’ll bring samples, discuss slip resistance and maintenance, and design a layout that suits your property style and budget.
