Soho demands paving that looks sharp and performs under constant footfall. From courtyards near Soho Square to entrances a short walk from Carnaby Street, we install surfaces that stay level, drain properly and elevate kerb appeal. Expect clean lines, accurate falls and finishes that complement brickwork and period details. We can also create feature patterns to suit contemporary refurbishments and boutique frontages.
Local projects often involve Georgian townhouses, mansion flats and commercial conversions where space is tight and presentation matters. We’re used to setting out paving to align with thresholds, basement lightwells and existing steps, keeping levels safe and practical. In the paving installation Soho area, we regularly specify materials that cope with heavy use while still looking refined. Whether you want a discreet courtyard refresh or a statement entrance, we tailor the design to the building’s character.
Our process starts with a site survey, then a clear specification covering sub-base build-up, drainage strategy, edging and jointing. We excavate properly, compact in layers and set falls to move water away from structures, then finish with optional sealing for easier maintenance. Work is scheduled to minimise disruption, with tidy handover and aftercare advice. Homeowners choose us for reliable timelines, transparent communication and workmanship backed by a 10-year warranty.
Soho (W1) sites often have restricted access, controlled parking and strict waste removal expectations, so we plan deliveries and skips carefully. In the City of Westminster, surface water management matters; we design falls and drainage details to suit courtyards and small frontages. Many properties have older brickwork and shallow thresholds, so we manage levels to protect the building fabric. We also keep noise and working hours considerate for mixed residential and commercial neighbours.

Costs in W1 depend on access, excavation depth and the paving choice. As a guide, concrete paving often starts around £90–£140 per m² installed, block paving typically £110–£180 per m², and premium natural stone or porcelain commonly £160–£280+ per m². Edging, drainage channels, steps, complex patterns and waste removal can add to the total. We provide a detailed, itemised quote after a site visit.
Most small Soho courtyards or front areas take around 3–7 working days, while larger spaces can run 1–2+ weeks. Timescales depend on excavation and spoil removal, the sub-base build, drainage work, and how much cutting is needed around walls, lightwells and utilities. Weather can also affect progress, especially during sub-base compaction and jointing. We’ll confirm a realistic schedule before starting and keep you updated daily.
Many paving projects are permitted development, but rules can apply depending on drainage, listed buildings and conservation areas. If you’re creating or replacing a front area, permeable surfacing or proper run-off management is usually required to avoid sending water to the public sewer. In the City of Westminster, we check the site context, advise on compliant drainage options and can work with your architect if needed. We’ll flag any permissions before work begins.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our paving installation workmanship, covering issues such as sinking caused by sub-base failure, loose edging, and installation-related movement. Materials are covered by manufacturer warranties where applicable, and we’ll explain the differences between products at quotation stage. The warranty assumes normal use and appropriate maintenance, such as keeping joints topped up and avoiding harsh chemicals on sealed surfaces. If a problem arises, we respond quickly and put it right.
We install block paving, natural stone (such as sandstone or granite), porcelain paving and concrete slabs, with a wide choice of colours and textures. Popular designs in Soho include herringbone block patterns for strength, large-format porcelain for a crisp contemporary look, and stone with contrasting edging for period properties. We can add step details, recessed drainage, and neat soldier-course borders. We’ll bring samples, discuss slip resistance and maintenance, and help you choose a finish that suits your property.
