From family gardens near Priory Gardens to busy front drives close to Orpington station, we install paving that looks smart and performs year-round. Our team handles block paving, natural stone and porcelain with careful detailing and proper drainage. Whether you want a new patio for entertaining or a driveway that copes with daily parking, we’ll tailor the layout to your space. We also carry out paving repairs to bring tired surfaces back to life.
Orpington’s mix of 1930s semis, detached houses and modern estates often comes with sloping drives, narrow side access and varied garden levels. We regularly work across BR5 and BR6, including St Mary Cray and Petts Wood, so we’re used to local property layouts and practical constraints. If you need extra parking, we can redesign the frontage to maximise usable space without it feeling cramped. For rear gardens, we create patios and pathways that connect doors, lawns and outbuildings cleanly.
We start with a site visit, levels check and a written proposal covering excavation depth, sub-base build-up and edge restraints. Every project is installed with a focus on long-term stability: correct falls, compacted layers and neat jointing. You’ll get clear communication, respectful working practices and a finish that’s easy to maintain. Homeowners choose us for consistent quality, honest advice and workmanship backed by a 10-year warranty.
As paving contractors in London Borough of Bromley, we factor in local access, parking and waste removal so the job runs smoothly. Many Orpington streets have limited driveway space and shared boundaries, so we pay close attention to levels, drainage routes and neat edging. Ground conditions can vary between front gardens and rear plots, which is why we don’t shortcut excavation or base preparation. We also help you choose finishes that suit brickwork typical of 1930s homes.

Costs depend on the material, groundworks and access. As a guide, block paving is often around £90–£140 per m², while natural stone tends to be £120–£200 per m². Porcelain patios commonly sit at £110–£190 per m² due to cutting and jointing requirements. Driveways may need extra excavation, edging and drainage, which can increase the overall price. We provide a detailed, itemised quote after a site visit.
Most patios take around 3–7 days, depending on size, paving type and whether steps or retaining edges are needed. Driveway paving commonly takes 5–10 days because excavation, sub-base build-up and drainage details are more involved. Timescales can change with poor weather, restricted access, or if we uncover soft ground that needs extra stabilisation. We’ll confirm a realistic programme before starting and keep you updated throughout.
Many patios and garden paths don’t need planning permission. 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 soakaway. There may also be considerations for dropped kerbs, boundary walls or if your property has specific restrictions. We’ll talk you through the options, recommend compliant drainage solutions, and help you understand what applies before work begins.
Yes. Our paving installations come with a 10-year warranty covering workmanship, including sub-base preparation, levels, edge restraints and jointing, provided the area is used as intended. It also covers issues such as sinking caused by installation faults. Materials are covered by manufacturer warranties where applicable. We’ll also explain aftercare—cleaning, sealing (if chosen) and winter maintenance—to help your paving stay in top condition.
We install block paving in a range of colours and patterns (such as herringbone for driveways), plus natural stone like sandstone or limestone for a softer, traditional look. Porcelain paving is popular for modern gardens thanks to its consistent colour and low porosity. We can add contrasting borders, steps, curved edges, drainage channels and matching pathways. We’ll bring samples, discuss slip resistance and maintenance, and help you choose a design that suits your home.
