Lewisham's mix of period properties and contemporary homes presents unique paving challenges. Victorian terraces with narrow frontages require clever design to maximise parking space. Meanwhile, larger plots near Blackheath benefit from sweeping curved driveways that complement the architectural style. Every project begins with understanding your property's specific requirements.
Block paving remains popular across SE13 for good reason – proper installation ensures decades of performance. The process involves excavating to correct depths, installing appropriate sub-base materials, and achieving precise gradients for drainage. Permeable options help manage surface water, particularly important given Lewisham's clay-heavy soil composition. Material selection ranges from traditional clay pavers to contemporary porcelain, each suited to different aesthetic preferences and practical needs.
