If your front garden needs a smarter driveway or your back garden needs a patio that stays level, we can help. We install block paving, natural stone and porcelain paving across SE15, with careful edging and drainage built in. Many of our projects are around Nunhead Green and up towards Telegraph Hill Park, where access and levels can vary. Expect a clean finish that complements the street rather than fighting it.
Nunhead’s Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and period cottages often come with narrow side returns, stepped thresholds and compact front gardens. That means paving needs accurate falls, tidy transitions and durable joints to cope with everyday use. We design surfaces that suit these proportions—whether it’s a practical driveway paving layout or a patio paving scheme for entertaining. Homeowners in the paving contractors Nunhead area also ask for low-maintenance options that still look premium.
We start with a site visit, measure-up and a clear written specification covering excavation depth, sub-base build-up and drainage. Installation is carried out by experienced teams, with protection for paths, walls and planting where possible. You’ll get straightforward communication, staged payments, and a finish we’re happy to sign off. Our work is backed by a 10-year warranty, which is why local homeowners recommend us for both new paving and repairs.
As paving contractors in London Borough of Southwark, we plan for typical constraints in Nunhead: limited parking, narrow drives and shared access points. Ground conditions can vary, so we don’t guess—we build the right sub-base and set accurate falls for surface water. We also consider nearby features such as Nunhead Cemetery when planning deliveries and working hours. The result is paving that performs well, not just paving that looks good on day one.

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. Porcelain paving typically ranges from £110–£190 per m² due to cutting and jointing requirements. Driveway projects may also need drainage or stronger sub-bases, which can add to the total. We provide a detailed, itemised quote after a site visit.
Most patios take around 3–7 working days, while driveways are often 5–10 working days, depending on size and complexity. Timescales are affected by excavation depth, waste removal, steps or retaining edges, and whether drainage channels or soakaways are required. Porcelain and intricate patterns can take longer because of extra cutting and finishing. We’ll confirm a realistic programme before starting and keep you updated throughout.
Many driveway and garden paving projects are permitted development, but rules can apply—especially around surface water drainage. If you’re paving over a front garden, you may need to ensure water drains to a permeable area or a suitable soakaway rather than the public sewer. Conservation considerations can also apply in parts of Southwark. We’ll advise on compliant options and can help you check requirements before work begins.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our paving installations, covering workmanship issues such as settlement caused by inadequate sub-base preparation, loose edging, and problems linked to installation standards. It also includes defects in jointing or pointing where these relate to our work. Normal wear, accidental damage, and issues caused by third-party alterations aren’t covered. We’ll explain what’s included in writing, along with care guidance to protect your finish.
For driveways, block paving in charcoal, brindle or mixed tones is popular, often with contrasting borders. For patios, many Nunhead homeowners choose natural sandstone for warmth, or porcelain for a crisp, low-maintenance look. We also install pathway paving to link side returns and garden zones, plus commercial paving where durability is key. We’ll help you choose slip resistance, edging details, and patterns that suit period brickwork and your budget.
