Shortlands homeowners often want paving that looks refined and performs year-round. We design and install block paving, natural stone and porcelain surfaces that suit everything from front driveways to rear patios. Working near Shortlands station and around BR2, we plan access, deliveries and clean-up carefully. You’ll get a finish that complements your home and feels solid underfoot.
The Shortlands area is known for large Edwardian houses, Victorian villas and well-kept 1930s properties, each with different levels, thresholds and garden layouts. We match paving styles to period detailing, from traditional clay-toned blocks to contemporary porcelain. For homes in Bromley and Beckenham, we also consider parking needs and turning space for modern family cars. The result is paving that looks intentional, not “added on”.
Our process starts with a site visit, clear specification and a written quotation. We excavate properly, install a stable sub-base, set accurate falls for drainage, then lay and joint to manufacturer standards. We keep disruption low with scheduled deliveries and daily tidy-ups. Local clients choose us for reliable communication, premium materials and a 10-year workmanship warranty.
Across the London Borough of Bromley, we regularly encounter mixed ground conditions and older garden levels that need careful setting-out. Shortlands streets can have limited parking, so we plan skips, deliveries and working hours to minimise disruption. We also design to suit period façades and boundary walls common around St Mary’s Church and nearby roads. If drainage or access is tight, we adjust build-ups, edging and falls to keep everything compliant and practical.

Costs depend on the material, ground preparation and access. As a guide, block paving is often around £90–£140 per m², while natural stone typically ranges from £120–£200 per m². Porcelain paving can be £130–£220 per m² due to cutting and bedding requirements. Driveway excavation, drainage and edging can increase totals, especially on sloped or restricted BR2 plots.
Most patio paving projects take 3–7 working days, while a typical driveway is often 5–10 working days. Timescales vary with excavation depth, waste removal, drainage work, and the complexity of patterns or steps. Weather can also affect curing and jointing. We’ll confirm a realistic programme after the site survey, including delivery dates and the order of works.
Many driveway and garden paving projects are permitted development, but rules can apply around surface water drainage, listed buildings, and conservation considerations. For front gardens, using permeable paving or directing runoff to a suitable drainage area is often required. We check the practical requirements for your property and can advise on compliant options, including permeable block paving and discreet channel drainage where needed.
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 jointing failures from installation defects. Materials are also covered by manufacturer warranties where applicable. The warranty assumes normal domestic use and appropriate maintenance, such as keeping joints topped up and avoiding heavy loads beyond the design specification.
We install block paving in a range of colours and laying patterns, natural stone such as sandstone or limestone for a timeless look, and porcelain for a crisp, low-porosity finish. Popular design features include contrasting borders, soldier courses, step details and recessed manhole covers. We’ll help you choose finishes that suit your home’s style, lighting and maintenance preferences, and provide samples where possible.
