Those cracked concrete drives dotting Norbury's tree-lined streets deserve better. Block paving transforms tired frontages into stunning entrances that complement everything from Edwardian villas to post-war semis.

Norbury's mix of property styles presents unique paving challenges. Victorian terraces with narrow frontages need clever design to maximise parking, whilst larger plots near Norbury Park can accommodate sweeping curved driveways. Weather-beaten tarmac and subsiding concrete plague many SW16 properties – problems that proper groundwork and quality blocks solve permanently.
Ground preparation matters more than most realise. Clay soil shifts beneath Norbury's older properties, causing traditional surfaces to crack. Excavating to proper depth, installing Type 1 MOT sub-base, then compacting with plate vibrators creates foundations that won't budge. Premium blocks interlock tightly, dispersing vehicle weight evenly whilst allowing natural drainage – crucial given our London rainfall.
Twenty years installing driveways across South London taught us which methods last. Norbury residents trust our attention to drainage falls and edge restraints that prevent future movement.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
Typical Norbury driveways (40-60m²) range £3,500-£6,000 including excavation. Smaller Victorian frontages start around £2,800, whilst detached properties near Norbury Hall might reach £8,000+ for premium designs.
Absolutely – from Pollards Hill estates to Norbury Station surroundings, we've paved throughout SW16 and CR7. Regular projects span from Green Lane to London Road.
Most Norbury installations complete within 4-6 working days. Excavation and base preparation take 2 days, laying blocks another 2, with final day for kiln-dried sand brushing and sealing.
Every installation carries decade-long structural warranty covering base integrity and block stability. Should any settlement occur (rare with proper groundwork), we'll rectify without charge throughout the guarantee period.
Sloping drives are common around Norbury's hillier sections. Strategic drainage channels, textured blocks for grip, and proper gradient calculations ensure safe surfaces that shed water effectively without becoming slippery.
