Clay soil throughout the CR0 and CR2 areas presents unique challenges for paving projects. Understanding local ground conditions matters – particularly near Wandle Park where drainage issues frequently surface. Years of working across Selhurst's varied terrain means anticipating problems before they arise.
Block paving requires meticulous groundwork preparation. Excavating to appropriate depths, installing proper sub-base materials, then compacting layers systematically creates lasting foundations. Modern permeable options help satisfy Croydon Council's sustainable drainage requirements whilst maintaining traditional kerb appeal.
Local knowledge extends beyond technical expertise. Navigating parking restrictions during installation, coordinating with neighbours in tight Victorian streets – these details matter as much as craftsmanship.

Most two-car driveways in CR0 postcodes range between £3,500-£6,000. Smaller Victorian frontages around South Croydon often fall within £2,500-£4,000, whilst larger Waddon properties might reach £8,000+ depending on chosen materials.
Absolutely – CR0 forms our core service area, extending through CR2's residential streets and CR7's busier zones. Recent projects include several properties along George Street and numerous homes throughout the Whitgift estate.
Typical residential driveways take 4-7 working days from excavation through final sealing. Larger plots around Shirley Hills might extend to 10 days, whilst compact Selhurst terraces often complete within 3-5 days.
Every installation carries decade-long protection covering both materials and workmanship. This encompasses settlement issues, joint degradation, and colour fading – providing genuine peace of mind for your investment.
Sometimes overlay proves viable, particularly on well-maintained bases without significant cracking. However, complete excavation often provides better long-term results, especially given Croydon's clay soil movement. Each property requires individual assessment.
