From Elmers End station to the streets around Elmers End Green, homeowners want paving that looks smart and performs in all weather. We install driveways, paths and patios using block paving, natural stone, porcelain or concrete to suit your home and budget. Every build includes the right sub-base depth, levels and falls for reliable drainage. If you’re in BR3 and want a tidy finish, we’ll handle the details from patterns to edging.
Elmers End has a mix of Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and 1930s semis, and each benefits from a slightly different approach. Narrower front gardens often need clever layouts for bins, steps and safe access to doors. Larger drives can be designed for two cars with turning space and strengthened edges. We’ll match colours and textures to brickwork and period features so the paving looks like it belongs.
Our process starts with a site visit, clear options and a written specification so you know exactly what’s included. We excavate properly, install a compacted MOT Type 1 sub-base, then lay your chosen paving with precise levels, edging restraints and drainage where needed. Work is kept clean and organised, with waste removed and joints finished correctly. Local clients choose us because the finish stays true and we stand behind it with a 10-year warranty.
In the London Borough of Bromley, we often work around mixed ground conditions and older garden levels that need careful setting-out. Access can be tight on residential roads near the Croydon Tramlink, so we plan deliveries, parking and waste removal to minimise disruption. We also account for existing thresholds, air bricks and damp-proof courses common on period properties. This is paving installation in the Elmers End area done with practical local know-how.

Costs vary by material, access, excavation depth and drainage needs. As a guide, concrete paving typically starts from around £90–£130 per m², block paving from £110–£160 per m², and porcelain or premium natural stone often £140–£220+ per m². Edging, steps, soakaways and removal of old surfaces can add to the total. We’ll provide an itemised quote after a site visit in BR3.
Most patios take around 2–5 days, while a typical driveway is often 4–10 days, depending on size and complexity. Timescales are affected by excavation depth, whether old concrete needs breaking out, the number of cuts, patterns, edging details and any drainage or soakaway work. Weather can also slow jointing and sealing. We’ll confirm a realistic programme before starting and keep you updated throughout.
Many driveway and garden paving projects are permitted development, but rules can apply to drainage and front gardens. If you’re paving over 5m² at the front, the surface should be permeable or drain to a suitable area (not the public sewer). Conservation areas and listed buildings may have extra requirements. We’ll advise on compliant options and can incorporate permeable paving, channels or soakaways as needed.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our paving installation workmanship, covering issues such as settlement caused by inadequate sub-base preparation, loose edging restraints and jointing failures due to installation. Materials are covered by manufacturer warranties where applicable. The warranty doesn’t cover accidental damage, heavy commercial vehicles on domestic drives, or problems caused by third-party alterations. We also give care guidance to help your paving stay in top condition.
You can choose block paving in a range of colours and patterns (including herringbone and basketweave), natural stone for a timeless look, porcelain for a sleek low-porosity finish, or concrete paving for excellent value. We can add contrasting borders, soldier-course edging, kerb restraints, steps and drainage channels. We’ll bring samples, recommend layouts that suit your home, and design a finish that works for parking, paths and outdoor seating.
