Response within 24 hours
Battersea’s mix of Victorian streets and new developments calls for driveways that are tough, neat and low-maintenance. We install and renew tarmac surfaces across SW11 and SW8, including around Battersea Park and Nine Elms. Whether you need a brand-new driveway, a smooth resurface, or targeted patch repairs, we focus on long-term performance. Expect crisp lines, durable compaction and a finish that suits the frontage of your home.
From Victorian terraces near Clapham Junction to mansion blocks and luxury new builds by Battersea Power Station, access and levels can vary widely. We’re used to tight front gardens, shared crossovers and short working windows, so we plan deliveries and machinery accordingly. Our team helps you choose practical details such as edging, drainage falls and entrance widths. The result is a driveway that works for daily parking and still adds kerb appeal.
We start with a site visit to assess the sub-base, existing surface, and any drainage requirements. Then we prepare properly—excavation where needed, solid sub-base installation, and machine-laid tarmac for a smooth, even finish. We keep disruption down with clear scheduling and tidy working practices, and we’re only around 25 minutes from Battersea for responsive support. All work is backed by our workmanship standards and a 10-year warranty for peace of mind.
We’re familiar with the access challenges and parking controls common across the London Borough of Wandsworth, especially around Queenstown and Battersea Park. Many properties have limited frontage, so we plan waste removal, deliveries and compaction equipment to suit. We also set correct falls to manage surface water and reduce pooling near thresholds. If a dropped kerb is needed, we can advise on the usual council process and practical layout.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
In the Battersea area, tarmac driveway installation typically ranges from £40–£70 per square metre, depending on access, excavation depth and edging. For many homes, a typical total cost falls around £1,600–£3,500, but larger driveways or those needing significant sub-base work can be higher. Resurfacing can be more cost-effective where the base is sound, while repairs are priced by scope.
Most tarmac driveway projects take 1–2 days from preparation to laying, with curing time before heavy use. Timescales depend on the size of the driveway, whether excavation and a new sub-base are required, and how easy it is to bring materials to site (common considerations near Clapham Junction and busier roads). Weather can also affect scheduling, as heavy rain can delay laying and compaction.
Many driveway works are permitted development, but rules can apply around drainage, front garden surfacing and changes to access. If you’re creating a new crossover or need a dropped kerb, approval is typically required through the council. We’ll talk you through what’s likely to be needed for your property in the London Borough of Wandsworth and can help ensure the design meets practical and compliance requirements before work starts.
Yes. Our tarmac driveway installations come with a 10-year warranty on workmanship, covering issues such as premature cracking linked to installation, poor compaction, or edge failure under normal residential use. It doesn’t cover damage from heavy commercial vehicles, ground movement outside the driveway footprint, or neglect such as allowing oil spills to degrade the surface. We also provide aftercare guidance to help keep the finish looking its best.
Alongside standard black tarmac, we can install red tarmac for a warmer look that suits both period terraces and modern builds. Decorative edging options include block paving borders, kerb stones, or contrasting trims to sharpen the outline and help retain the surface. We can also incorporate dropped kerbs, improved entrance shaping and practical drainage falls. We’ll recommend options based on your frontage, parking needs and the look of your property.
