Those cracked concrete drives dotting Cheam's tree-lined roads deserve better. Block paving transforms tired frontages into stunning entrances that last decades.

Victorian semis in North Cheam often feature narrow side returns perfect for permeable paving solutions. Modern materials handle everything from heavy family cars to the clay soil movement common near Nonsuch Park. Smart homeowners recognise that quality groundwork makes the difference between paving that settles within months and surfaces staying level for years.
Proper excavation depth prevents the dreaded driveway dip. Sub-base compaction creates foundations stronger than the original ground, essential where Cheam's London clay expands and contracts seasonally. Edge restraints lock everything rigid whilst membrane barriers stop weeds breaking through. Gradient calculations ensure rainwater flows away from house walls, preventing damp issues plaguing many local properties.
Twenty years laying driveways from Worcester Park through to Ewell means spotting potential issues before breaking ground. Local knowledge matters when dealing with established root systems and understanding which materials suit period properties versus modern estates.

Double driveways around 40-50m² generally range £3,500-£6,000 depending on chosen materials. Resin bound surfaces cost more initially but require minimal maintenance. Block paving offers better value for larger areas common in SM3's spacious plots.
Absolutely - from Belmont's sloping drives to Stonecot Hill's established gardens. Regular projects throughout SM2 and SM3 postcodes include The Wrythe, Carshalton Beeches and North Cheam's residential streets.
Block paving needs 24-48 hours before foot traffic, vehicles after 7 days. Resin bound surfaces cure faster - walkable within hours, driveable next day. Weather affects timing, particularly during Cheam's damp winters.
Full decade coverage protects against settlement, joint failure and material defects. Insurance-backed guarantees mean peace of mind long after completion. Annual check-ups catch minor issues before they develop.
Sound concrete saves considerable groundwork costs. Overlay systems add just 50mm height - ideal where thresholds or garage clearances matter. Assessment determines suitability based on current levels and structural integrity.
