Herne Hill homeowners expect paving that looks sharp and stands up to daily use, whether it’s a front drive near Herne Hill station or a garden terrace used after walks in Brockwell Park. We install block paving, natural stone and porcelain with proper sub-bases and neat edging. If your existing surface has sunk, cracked or become slippery, we also carry out targeted repairs. Our team works across SE24 and nearby Dulwich and Brixton.
Victorian terraces and Edwardian houses around Herne Hill often have narrow side access, stepped thresholds and small front gardens that need smart layout planning. Period conversions frequently benefit from low-maintenance patios and tidy pathways that maximise usable space. We match paving styles to brickwork, railings and boundary walls, keeping the look consistent with the street. Where parking is tight, we design driveways with clear turning space and durable, stain-resistant finishes.
We start with a site visit to measure levels, check drainage routes and confirm the best build-up for the ground. You’ll receive a clear specification covering excavation depth, sub-base, bedding and jointing, so there are no surprises. Our installations are finished with careful compaction, accurate falls and clean detailing around drains and manholes. Local homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, tidy working practices and a 10-year warranty.
Herne Hill streets can mean restricted access, controlled parking and careful material deliveries, especially near the Sunday market and the routes around Herne Hill Velodrome. We plan logistics to minimise disruption and keep footways clear. Ground conditions vary, so we adjust excavation depth and sub-base type to prevent future movement. For projects in the paving contractors in London Borough of Lambeth/Southwark area, we also factor in surface-water rules and drainage requirements from the outset.

Costs depend on material choice, excavation depth, access and whether drainage needs upgrading. As a guide in SE24, block paving is often £90–£140 per m², natural stone £120–£200 per m², and porcelain £130–£220 per m². Driveways may need extra sub-base and edge restraints, which can increase the rate. Repairs are usually priced by area and complexity after inspection.
Most patio paving projects take around 3–7 days, depending on size, cutting detail and steps or retaining edges. A typical driveway is often 5–10 days, especially if we’re excavating deeper and installing drainage channels. Timescales can change with restricted access, weather, curing time for bedding and jointing, and whether we’re removing old concrete. We’ll confirm a realistic programme after the site survey.
Many patios and garden paths are permitted development, but driveways can be affected by surface-water drainage rules. If you’re creating or replacing a front drive, using permeable paving or directing water to a suitable soakaway is often required. Listed buildings and conservation areas may have additional restrictions. As paving contractors herne hill area specialists, we check the relevant guidance and build drainage into the design.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our paving installations, covering workmanship issues such as sinking caused by inadequate sub-base, loose edging, or jointing failures under normal use. Materials are covered by the manufacturer’s warranty where applicable, and we’ll advise on care to keep finishes looking their best. Repairs are also warranted, with the duration depending on the scope and condition of the surrounding area.
For period properties, tumbled block paving, granite setts and sandstone are popular for a traditional look, while porcelain suits modern extensions and low-maintenance terraces. We can design herringbone or stretcher-bond driveways, mixed-size stone patios, and clean-lined pathways with contrasting borders. We’ll help you choose colours that complement brickwork and pointing, and recommend jointing and sealants based on usage and slip resistance.
