Those narrow SW18 driveways present unique challenges - tight access, sloping gradients typical of properties backing onto the Wandle Valley. Years of experience tackling Earlsfield's awkward corner plots means even the trickiest spaces become practical, beautiful surfaces. Block paving, resin-bound aggregates, natural sandstone - each material suits different Wandsworth properties.
Proper groundwork prevents future problems. Excavating down 250mm, installing Type 1 MOT sub-base, compacting layers methodically - these steps ensure your paving withstands London's weather extremes. Drainage channels handle heavy rainfall, preventing pooling that damages foundations. Edge restraints lock everything firmly, crucial given how many SW18 driveways slope towards busy roads.
Local knowledge matters when navigating Wandsworth Council's crossover regulations and planning requirements. Twenty years working between Battersea and Putney means established relationships with suppliers, skip companies, and council departments - keeping projects running smoothly.

Most SW18 driveways range £3,500-£8,000 depending on size and materials. Smaller Victorian fronts might cost £3,500 for quality block paving, while larger Edwardian properties with double drives could reach £12,000 for premium stone.
Absolutely - from riverside properties near Wandsworth Park to hillside homes overlooking Wimbledon. Regular projects span Southfields Station vicinity, Trinity Road estates, and everywhere between Garratt Lane and East Hill.
Standard driveways take 4-6 days from excavation to completion. Larger projects or complex drainage solutions might extend to 8-10 days. Weather permitting, you'll be parking on fresh paving within a week.
Every installation carries decade-long coverage against settlement, movement, or material defects. Annual check-ups during the first two years catch any minor adjustments needed, maintaining that pristine finish long-term.
Sometimes - if the concrete's sound, level, and well-drained. Many 1960s Wandsworth homes have suitable bases that save excavation costs. A site inspection determines whether overlaying or complete replacement delivers better results.
