Whether you’re near West Dulwich station or walking distance from Belair Park, we design and install paving that improves kerb appeal and everyday use.

The SE21 streetscape includes Victorian villas, Edwardian houses and smart period conversions, each with different levels, thresholds and garden layouts. We’re used to working with front gardens that need discreet parking solutions and rear spaces designed for entertaining. Our paving installation West Dulwich area service is tailored to tighter side access, shared drive entrances and existing brickwork details. You’ll get a finish that feels consistent with the property, not bolted on.
We start with a site visit, measure-up and design options, then confirm the build-up, falls and drainage before any digging begins. Every installation follows best-practice excavation depths, compacted sub-base layers and accurate laying patterns. We keep the site clean, communicate daily progress and seal surfaces where appropriate for extra stain resistance. Local clients choose us for dependable scheduling, careful detailing and a 10-year warranty for peace of mind.

Most patio projects take around 3–7 working days, while a driveway is often 5–10 working days, depending on size and complexity. Timescales are affected by excavation depth, access for materials, weather, drainage requirements and whether we’re building steps or retaining edges. We’ll confirm a realistic schedule before starting and keep you updated as the job progresses.
Many driveway and garden paving projects are permitted development, but rules can apply if you’re changing levels, working near boundaries, or installing non-permeable surfacing to the front garden. In general, permeable paving or compliant drainage helps avoid issues. We’ll advise on suitable options, check whether any restrictions may apply, and help you stay aligned with Lambeth requirements 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. It doesn’t cover accidental damage, misuse, or problems caused by third-party alterations or underlying issues outside the agreed scope. We also follow manufacturer guidance for any sealers or specialist products, and we’ll explain care steps to keep the finish looking its best.
You can choose from block paving in a range of colours, natural stone for a traditional look, porcelain for a crisp contemporary patio, or concrete paving for clean, durable value.

We’ll bring samples, discuss slip resistance and maintenance, and recommend the best option for your space.
