Kingston upon Thames has a mix of Victorian villas, Edwardian houses and modern waterfront apartments, each needing a different approach to paving layout and detailing. Period properties often suit tumbled block paving or natural stone with traditional edging, while newer homes look sharp with large-format porcelain. We match colours and patterns to brickwork, render and boundary walls, keeping the frontage practical for bins and bikes. If you’re in KT2, we’ll also consider access and turning space where streets are tighter.
Our paving installation kingston upon thames area process starts with a site visit, measurements and a clear written specification. We excavate to the right depth, build a solid sub-base, install falls and drainage, then lay and compact with precision. You’ll get neat edges, clean cut lines around manholes and a thorough tidy-up at the end. Homeowners choose us for dependable timelines, transparent options and workmanship backed by a 10-year warranty.
In the paving installation in Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames, we often encounter mixed ground conditions and older garden levels that need careful setting-out. Parking and access can be restricted near busy routes by the Bentall Centre, so we plan deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption. We also factor in tree roots, existing drainage runs and shared crossovers where applicable. The result is paving that looks right and performs well year-round.

Costs vary by material, excavation depth and drainage needs. As a guide, concrete paving often starts around £90–£130 per m² installed, block paving typically £110–£170 per m², and natural stone or porcelain commonly £140–£220+ per m². Edging, steps, manhole adjustments and soakaways can add to the total. We provide a detailed breakdown after a site visit.
Most patios take around 2–5 days, while a driveway is often 5–10 working days, depending on size and complexity. Timescales are affected by excavation volume, access for machinery, drainage upgrades and curing time for bedding and jointing. Patterned block paving and lots of cuts around features take longer than simple layouts. We’ll confirm a schedule before work begins and keep you updated daily.
Many patios and driveways are permitted development, but rules can apply to front gardens and surface water. If you’re creating or replacing a driveway over 5m², using permeable paving or directing water to a soakaway is usually required rather than draining to the road. Conservation areas and listed buildings may have extra constraints. We’ll advise on compliant drainage and check any local requirements before starting.
We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty on our paving installations, covering issues such as settlement caused by inadequate sub-base preparation, edge restraint failure, and laying defects. It doesn’t cover accidental damage, extreme ground movement outside our control, or staining from chemicals and oil spills. Where manufacturers offer product guarantees (e.g., porcelain or sealers), we’ll pass those details on. Aftercare guidance is included to keep surfaces looking their best.
We install block paving (including herringbone and basketweave), natural stone (sandstone, limestone, granite), porcelain slabs for a crisp contemporary finish, and durable concrete paving. Design options include contrasting borders, soldier-course edging, circles and feature panels, plus practical details like recessed drainage channels. We’ll help you choose colours and textures that suit your home and provide samples where possible. Sealing can be added for easier cleaning and enhanced colour.
