If your outdoor space needs a smarter finish, our team installs and repairs paving across SE11 and the surrounding streets near The Oval cricket ground. We create durable patios for entertaining, practical pathways for front gardens, and driveway paving that improves kerb appeal. Every project starts with a clear plan for levels, drainage and edging so the surface looks right and performs properly. We also work around access constraints common near Oval tube station and Kennington.
Oval’s Georgian townhouses, Victorian terraces and mansion flats often have compact front gardens, basement lightwells and shared access routes that demand careful setting-out. We match paving styles to period brickwork and railings, whether you prefer traditional block paving or contemporary porcelain. For properties around Kennington Park and towards Vauxhall, we frequently improve tired concrete with a cleaner, more cohesive layout. Our local experience helps avoid common issues such as uneven thresholds and water running back towards the house.
We begin with a site visit to measure, discuss finishes, and confirm falls and drainage. Sub-bases are built to specification, with proper compaction and edge restraints to reduce movement over time. You’ll receive a written scope of works, transparent options, and a tidy, respectful crew on site. Homeowners choose us for consistent workmanship, clear communication, and a 10-year warranty for peace of mind.
Working in the London Borough of Lambeth means planning for tight access, controlled parking and busy roads around Kennington, Stockwell and Brixton. We schedule deliveries sensibly and keep materials secure and tidy. Ground conditions can vary between made-up ground and heavier clay, so we adjust excavation depth and sub-base design accordingly. We also consider drainage rules and practical details like bin routes and shared paths in mansion flat blocks.

Costs in Oval vary by material, access and ground preparation. As a guide, block paving is often £90–£140 per m², while natural stone typically ranges £120–£200 per m². Porcelain paving commonly sits around £130–£220 per m² due to cutting and bedding requirements. Driveway works may increase if drainage, kerbs or deeper sub-bases are needed. Repairs are usually priced by area and condition.
Most patio paving projects take around 3–7 days, depending on size, cutting complexity and whether old surfaces need removing. Driveway paving commonly takes 5–10 days, especially if you’re adding drainage channels, new edging or a thicker sub-base. Restricted access near the Oval area can affect delivery and waste removal timings. Weather, curing time for bedding materials, and any unforeseen ground issues can also extend the schedule slightly.
Many garden patios and paths are permitted development, but front driveways can trigger rules around surface water drainage. If you’re paving over a front garden, you may need a permeable surface or drainage to a soakaway rather than the public sewer. Listed buildings and conservation considerations can also apply in parts of Lambeth. We’ll advise on compliant options and check the key requirements before work starts.
Yes. Our installations come with a 10-year warranty covering workmanship, including sub-base preparation, levels, and structural integrity of the paved area under normal use. It’s designed to protect you against issues such as widespread settlement caused by installation faults or edging failure. Materials are also covered by manufacturer warranties where applicable. We’ll explain care guidance, jointing expectations, and what’s excluded (for example, accidental damage or extreme ground movement).
For Georgian and Victorian homes, tumbled block paving, clay pavers and sandstone often complement traditional brickwork and iron railings. For a sharper, modern look in mansion flat gardens, porcelain paving with slim grout lines is popular and easy to maintain. We also install granite setts for borders, step details and driveway aprons. Our team helps you choose colours, laying patterns (herringbone, stretcher bond, random stone) and edging to suit your property and budget, including commercial paving where needed.
