From smart front-drive upgrades to low-maintenance garden patios, we install paving that suits Thornton Heath homes and lifestyles. We regularly work around CR7, including routes near Thornton Heath station and walks by Grangewood Park. Whether you want crisp block paving lines or a contemporary porcelain finish, we tailor the build to your space. Expect clean edges, solid sub-bases and practical drainage from day one.
Thornton Heath’s excellent value properties often come with compact front gardens, shared access and sloping plots—especially around Broad Green and Selhurst. Victorian terraces benefit from period-appropriate setts and kerb detailing, while Edwardian semis suit wider driveways with contrasting borders. For 1930s houses, we often create larger parking bays and patio zones that connect neatly to side returns. Our designs balance kerb appeal with everyday usability.
We start with a site visit, levels check and clear written specification, then prepare the ground properly before any paving goes down. Sub-base depth, compaction and falls are set to reduce puddling and movement, and we finish with precise cutting and jointing. You’ll get straightforward communication, respectful neighbours-first working practices and a tidy handover. Every installation is backed by our 10-year workmanship warranty for peace of mind.
As paving contractors in London Borough of Croydon, we plan for mixed ground conditions and the level changes common across local streets. Parking and access can be tight near Thornton Heath Pond and the station, so we schedule deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption. We also factor in boundary lines, shared paths and bin access typical of terraces and semis. The result is paving that fits the plot, drains correctly and stays stable.

Costs vary by material, excavation depth, access and drainage needs. As a guide, block paving is often around £90–£140 per m², natural stone £120–£200 per m², and porcelain paving £110–£190 per m², including groundworks. Driveways may need extra for edge restraints, soakaways or channel drains. Repairs are usually priced by area and cause, commonly from £250–£1,500+.
Most patios take around 2–5 days, while a typical driveway is often 4–10 days, depending on size and complexity. Time is affected by excavation depth, spoil removal, access for machinery, and whether drainage or steps are required. Weather can also slow down bedding and jointing. We’ll confirm a realistic programme after measuring levels and agreeing the design and materials.
Many garden patios and replacement paving works are permitted development, but driveways can require attention to drainage rules. If you’re paving over a front garden, you generally need to ensure water drains to a permeable area within your boundary rather than the public highway. Conservation areas and listed buildings may have extra constraints. We’ll advise on compliant options and help you avoid issues before work starts.
Yes. Our installations come with a 10-year workmanship warranty, covering issues caused by installation such as sinking from inadequate sub-base preparation, loose edging, or jointing failures. It doesn’t cover accidental damage, misuse, or problems caused by third-party alterations or underlying issues we couldn’t reasonably identify. We also provide care guidance to help keep joints, sealants and surfaces performing well over time.
Block paving remains a favourite for driveways thanks to its repairability and colour choices, often finished with contrasting borders. For patios, many homeowners choose natural stone for character or porcelain for a clean, low-maintenance look. We can also create pathways with setts, soldier courses, and step details to suit Victorian and 1930s properties. We’ll bring samples, discuss slip resistance and maintenance, and design around your levels and drainage.
