A well-laid tarmac drive makes parking easier, keeps the front garden neat, and improves kerb appeal. We deliver new installations, resurfacing and repairs across SM2 and SM3, including North Cheam and Worcester Park. Whether you’re near Cheam Village or walking distance from Nonsuch Park, we’ll design a driveway that suits the property and the street. Expect clear communication, careful preparation and a finish that drains properly.
Cheam’s mix of period cottages, 1930s houses and larger executive homes means driveway layouts vary widely. We regularly work on narrow access drives, shared crossovers and wide frontages where turning space matters. Our team matches edging styles and levels to complement brickwork, front walls and existing paths. If you’re updating an older surface, tarmac resurfacing can refresh the look without a full rebuild where the base is sound.
We start with a site visit to assess the sub-base, falls, drainage and access for machinery. You’ll receive a written specification covering excavation depth, base layers and surfacing thickness, plus options like red tarmac and decorative edging. We keep disruption low, protect borders, and leave the site clean at the end of each day. Homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, tidy workmanship and a 10-year warranty for peace of mind.
We’re used to the London Borough of Sutton’s practical constraints, including on-street parking, narrow crossovers and keeping footpaths clear. In Cheam’s conservation-area streets, levels and edging details matter, so we take extra care around walls, gates and mature planting. Ground conditions can vary between older plots and newer infill, so we adjust excavation and sub-base build-up accordingly. If a dropped kerb is needed, we’ll advise on the correct route and specifications.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
For tarmac driveways in the Cheam area, budgets commonly fall between £40–£70 per square metre depending on excavation, sub-base depth and edging. Many homeowners spend around £1,600–£3,500 for a typical front driveway, but larger executive-home frontages can be more. Costs also change if you need drainage adjustments, a dropped kerb, red tarmac, or significant repairs to a failed base.
Most projects take 1–2 days, especially where access is straightforward and the existing base is suitable. Time can increase if we’re excavating deeper, rebuilding the sub-base, installing decorative edging, or coordinating a dropped kerb. Weather also affects scheduling, as tarmac and base layers need the right conditions for proper compaction. We’ll confirm a realistic programme after the site survey and access check.
In many cases, driveway surfacing is permitted development, but rules can apply around drainage and changes to access. If you’re creating a new crossover or need a dropped kerb, approval from the London Borough of Sutton is typically required. Conservation area considerations may also influence design choices and boundary alterations. We’ll talk you through the requirements, recommend compliant drainage solutions, and help you plan the right approach before work starts.
Yes. We provide a 10-year warranty on our tarmac driveway installations, covering workmanship-related issues such as premature cracking, fretting or settlement caused by incorrect preparation. The warranty assumes normal domestic use and that heavy commercial vehicles aren’t regularly parked on the drive. We also give aftercare guidance on curing times, cleaning and avoiding early scuffing. If a problem arises, we’ll inspect promptly and advise the best remedy.
We offer standard black tarmac, red tarmac for a warmer look, and a range of decorative edging options such as block, kerb or stone borders. You can also choose practical details like recessed drainage channels, strengthened entrances, and neat transitions to paths and patios. For older surfaces, tarmac resurfacing can deliver a fresh finish with minimal disruption when suitable. We’ll recommend the best combination based on your property style, parking needs and budget.
