Pollards Hill’s quiet residential streets feature plenty of 1930s semis, post-war housing and maisonettes, each with different access and levels. We design paving that complements brickwork, garden layouts and boundary lines, while keeping practical details in mind. Whether you’re improving a front drive for parking or creating a low-maintenance rear patio, we tailor the build to your property. Many clients also ask us to connect new pathways to side gates and bins stores for easier day-to-day use.
Our process starts with a site visit, measurements and a written specification covering excavation depth, sub-base, drainage and edging. We install to best practice, compacting in layers and finishing with accurate falls to manage surface water. You’ll get a clear schedule, material samples where needed, and workmanship backed by a 10-year warranty. Homeowners choose us because we’re local (around 5 minutes away), reliable, and we don’t cut corners on groundwork.
As paving contractors pollards hill area homeowners rely on, we plan for typical London ground conditions and the need for strong sub-bases. Many streets around Pollards Hill Recreation Ground have limited parking and narrow access, so we organise deliveries and waste removal carefully. We also factor in levels around thresholds and air bricks, which are common on older homes. If drainage rules apply, we’ll advise on permeable options and compliant run-off solutions.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
Costs vary by material, ground conditions and how much excavation is required. As a guide, block paving is often £90–£140 per m², while porcelain paving typically ranges £110–£170 per m². Natural stone can be £120–£200+ per m² depending on the stone and laying pattern. Driveways may need deeper sub-bases and drainage, which can increase the overall budget.
Most patio paving projects take around 3–7 days, depending on size, access and whether steps or retaining edges are needed. Driveway paving is commonly 5–10 days because of deeper excavation, sub-base build-up and drainage details. Repairs can be completed in 1–2 days if materials are available. Weather, skip placement, and curing times for mortar or jointing compounds can also affect the schedule.
In many cases, patios and paths are permitted development and don’t need planning permission. For front driveways, rules often focus on surface water: if you’re paving over more than 5m², you may need a permeable surface or a compliant drainage solution so water doesn’t run onto the highway. We’ll check the site layout, advise on permeable block paving or channels/soakaways, and flag any constraints before work starts.
We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty on our paving installations, covering issues such as sinking caused by inadequate sub-base preparation, loose edging, or failures linked to installation methods. Materials are also covered by manufacturer warranties where applicable. The warranty doesn’t cover accidental damage, misuse, or movement caused by underlying utility works. We’ll also share care guidance for jointing, sealing (if used), and winter maintenance.
We install block paving in a range of colours and patterns (herringbone is popular for driveways), plus natural stone such as sandstone, limestone and granite for character. Porcelain paving is a favourite for modern, low-maintenance patios with consistent colour and slip resistance. We can add contrasting borders, soldier courses, steps, recessed manhole covers and matching pathways. We’ll bring samples and help you choose a finish that suits your home and budget.
