Sanderstead's leafy streets showcase some stunning period homes, yet many still sport cracked concrete drives that do them no justice. Professional paving installation breathes new life into these spaces, whether you're updating a compact townhouse entrance or resurfacing the sweeping drive of a detached home near Limpsfield Road. The right materials and pattern can completely transform how your property presents itself to the world.
Proper groundwork makes all the difference when installing block paving on Sanderstead's mix of clay and chalk soils. Excavation depth varies between 200-250mm depending on your specific ground conditions, followed by a compacted MOT Type 1 sub-base that prevents future sinking. Sharp sand screeding creates the perfect bed for your chosen blocks, while kiln-dried jointing sand locks everything together. This methodical approach ensures your new surface handles everything from daily car movements to our occasional harsh winters.
