If your outdoor space needs a smarter, more practical surface, our paving team can transform it with a clean, level finish. We work across CR0, including routes near Shirley Windmill and towards Addington Hills, creating patios, paths and driveways that feel well-proportioned to the plot. Every installation is built on strong groundwork, not shortcuts. The result is paving that drains correctly and stays looking tidy through the seasons.
Shirley has a mix of 1930s semis, larger detached houses and newer developments, and each benefits from a different approach. We often design wider driveways for family cars, add discreet edging for neat borders, and create low-maintenance patios for busy households. Where front gardens are shorter, we plan practical turning space and safe access. For rear gardens, we balance paving with planting so the space doesn’t feel overly hard.
Our process starts with a site survey, levels check and a clear written specification. We excavate to the right depth, install a compacted sub-base, and lay paving with accurate falls, edging restraints and drainage where required. Patterns, jointing and sealing are finished to manufacturer guidance for long-term performance. Homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, tidy working practices and a 10-year workmanship warranty.
We’re used to the access and parking quirks around Shirley, Addiscombe and nearby Croydon streets, so deliveries and waste removal are planned in advance. Ground conditions can vary, so we assess levels, existing hardstanding and drainage routes before setting out. We also design with typical 1930s drive widths in mind, making sure thresholds and pathways sit neatly against the house. For clients needing paving installation in London Borough of Croydon, we keep the build compliant with SuDS-friendly drainage where applicable.

Costs depend on the area size, excavation depth, waste removal and the paving type you choose. As a guide, concrete paving often starts around £90–£130 per m², block paving is typically £110–£170 per m², and porcelain or premium natural stone can range from £140–£230+ per m². Edging, drainage channels and sealing are usually priced as add-ons after a site visit and level check.
Most patio projects take around 2–5 days, while a driveway is often 4–10 days depending on size and complexity. Timescales change with excavation requirements, awkward access, steps or retaining edges, and whether you need drainage upgrades. Weather can also affect groundworks and jointing. We provide a clear programme before starting and keep you updated if any hidden issues appear once the old surface is lifted.
Many patios and driveways are permitted development, but there are important rules around surface water. If you’re creating or replacing a front driveway over 5m², it usually needs to be permeable or drain to a suitable area within your boundary rather than the highway. Restrictions can also apply to listed buildings or conservation areas. We’ll advise on compliant drainage and check what applies to your property before work begins.
We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty on our paving installations, covering issues caused by installation faults such as sinking due to inadequate sub-base, loose edging restraints, or poor levels that lead to standing water. It doesn’t cover accidental damage, staining, or movement caused by third-party work or extreme events. We also follow product guidance for jointing and sealing, and we’ll explain maintenance to keep your paving looking its best.
We install block paving in a range of colours and patterns (including herringbone and basketweave), natural stone for a timeless look, and porcelain for a crisp, low-maintenance finish. Concrete paving is a cost-effective option with plenty of modern textures. We can add contrasting borders, kerb edging, steps, drainage channels and optional sealing. For paving installation Shirley area homes, we’ll recommend finishes that suit your property style and how you use the space.
