From Elmers End station to Elmers End Green, outdoor spaces in BR3 need paving that stays level, drains properly and complements the house. We install block paving, natural stone paving and porcelain paving for patios, pathways and front driveways. Whether you’re improving access, adding parking or creating a low-maintenance seating area, we tailor the build to your layout. Repairs are also available for sunken areas, loose blocks and cracked joints.
Elmers End has a mix of Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and 1930s semis, each with different frontage widths and garden proportions. We often design driveway paving to maximise parking without making the approach feel cramped, and patio paving that suits long rear gardens. For homes near the Croydon Tramlink or busier roads, we can specify robust edging and finishes that cope with higher footfall. If you’re in Beckenham, Penge, Anerley or South Norwood, we can match materials to nearby properties for a consistent look.
Our process starts with a site visit, clear measurements and a written specification so you know exactly what’s included. We excavate to the correct depth, install a stable sub-base, set falls for drainage and finish with precise cuts and clean edges. You’ll get straightforward communication, respectful working practices and a site left tidy each day. Homeowners choose us because our paving lasts, and every installation is backed by a 10-year warranty.
As paving contractors in London Borough of Bromley, we plan for typical access constraints such as narrow side passages and short front gardens. We also factor in local drainage expectations, specifying permeable solutions where required and setting falls away from the property. Parking and deliveries can be tight around Elmers End station, so we schedule materials and waste removal to minimise disruption. Our builds suit the period character common across BR3 streets.

Costs vary by material, ground conditions and the amount of excavation needed. As a guide, block paving is often around £90–£140 per m² installed, while porcelain paving typically ranges from £120–£180 per m². Natural stone paving can be £130–£220 per m² depending on the stone type and thickness. Driveways may need additional sub-base and drainage features, which can increase the overall budget.
Most patio paving projects take around 2–5 days, while an average driveway is commonly 4–8 days. Timescales depend on the size, the amount of excavation, whether old surfaces need breaking out, and any drainage or edging details. Complex patterns, steps or retaining edges add time. Weather can also affect progress, particularly during heavy rain when sub-base work needs to stay dry and stable.
Many paving projects are permitted development, especially like-for-like patio replacements. For front driveways, rules often focus on surface water drainage: if the area is over 5m², it generally needs to be permeable or drain to a suitable soakaway rather than the highway. There may also be extra considerations for listed buildings or conservation areas. We’ll advise on compliant options and help you avoid issues before work begins.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our paving installations, covering workmanship such as sub-base preparation, levels, edging stability and jointing performance under normal use. If an area settles due to installation issues, we’ll put it right. Materials are also covered by the manufacturer’s warranty where applicable, which can vary by product. Our repair work is assessed case-by-case, with clear expectations set before we start.
Block paving remains a favourite for driveways thanks to its strength and easy repairability, with charcoal borders and herringbone patterns popular on 1930s semis. Porcelain paving suits modern patios because it’s low-porosity and easy to clean. For period homes, natural stone paving such as sandstone or limestone can look timeless with a softer edge detail. We’ll help you choose colours, sizes, edging and drainage solutions to suit your property and budget.
