If your paving is tired, uneven or simply not making the right first impression, we can help. We design and install driveways and patios across CR8, with projects regularly completed around Purley Cross and Purley Oaks. Every job starts with a practical layout that works for parking, bins and day-to-day access. The result is paving that looks sharp and performs well in all seasons.
Purley’s large detached houses, 1930s properties and period homes often need paving that complements brickwork, bay windows and mature gardens. We match colours and textures to your frontage, whether you want a traditional block-paved driveway or a clean-lined porcelain patio. For sloping plots closer to Riddlesdown, we plan levels carefully to avoid water tracking towards the house. Our paving contractors Purley area clients value finishes that feel premium without being fussy.
We survey, measure and discuss materials before providing a clear written quotation and programme. Groundworks are done properly: excavation to the right depth, compacted sub-base, sharp sand bedding (or mortar where specified), and secure edging. We keep sites tidy, protect planting, and coordinate deliveries to minimise parking issues. Homeowners choose our paving contractors in London Borough of Croydon because we’re consistent, communicative, and we stand behind our work.
Purley properties often have sloping drives and mixed ground conditions near the North Downs, so levels and drainage need careful planning. We design falls away from buildings and can add channels or soakaway solutions where appropriate. Access and parking can be tight on some roads, so we schedule skips and deliveries to keep things moving. We also work with expectations typical across the London Borough of Croydon, including permeable driveway options.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
Costs in Purley vary by material, excavation depth, drainage and access. As a guide, block paving is often £90–£140 per m², natural stone £120–£200 per m², and porcelain £110–£190 per m². Driveways may need extra for edging, steps, channels or permeable build-ups. Repairs can start from a few hundred pounds, while full driveway or patio projects commonly run into several thousand.
Most patio paving takes around 3–7 days, while driveways are typically 5–10 days, depending on size and complexity. Timescales change with excavation requirements, waste removal, drainage works, and the number of cuts and features such as steps, kerbs or manholes. Weather can also affect progress, especially for mortar-based installations. We provide a realistic programme before starting and keep you updated daily.
Many driveway and garden paving projects are permitted development, but there are important rules around surface water drainage. New or replacement driveways over 5m² should usually be permeable or drain to a soakaway within your property rather than the public sewer. Restrictions can also apply to listed buildings, conservation areas, or works near highways. We’ll advise during the survey and can help you check requirements for your Croydon address.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our paving installation workmanship, covering issues such as sinking caused by inadequate sub-base preparation, loose edging, or jointing failures due to installation defects. It doesn’t cover accidental damage, misuse, or movement caused by external factors like tree roots or third-party works. We also follow manufacturer guidance for the materials used, and we’ll explain care and maintenance to protect your finish.
In Purley, popular choices include block paving in brindle or charcoal borders for 1930s homes, sawn sandstone or granite for period properties, and large-format porcelain for modern patios. We can incorporate contrasting soldier courses, recessed manhole covers, steps, and curved pathways. During the design stage we bring samples, discuss slip resistance and maintenance, and recommend jointing and sealing options based on how you use the space.
