Victorian terraces along Streatham High Road often struggle with narrow frontages and steep gradients - challenges that proper paving design elegantly solves. Block paving, resin-bound surfaces, and natural stone each offer distinct advantages for South London's varied property styles. Local drainage requirements and the area's clay-heavy soil demand experienced installers who understand Streatham's unique terrain.
Installation begins with excavating to the correct depth - typically 250mm for driveways supporting vehicles. A compacted sub-base prevents the settling issues common in Streatham's London clay. Membrane installation blocks weed growth whilst maintaining permeability for SUDS compliance. Edge restraints lock everything securely before the chosen surface material creates your new drive or pathway.
Twenty years installing driveways from Furzedown to Streatham Common means understanding which materials withstand South London winters. Local knowledge prevents costly mistakes that plague inexperienced contractors new to the area.
