The Chislehurst area is known for large detached houses, Victorian villas and period properties with generous front gardens. Many plots benefit from widening parking or improving turning space, especially on busier roads towards Mottingham and Sidcup. We tailor levels and falls to protect thresholds and keep water moving away from entrances. If you’re matching an existing surface, we’ll advise on the best blend and finish for a seamless look.
Our approach starts with a site visit to assess the base, drainage and access for machinery. We excavate where needed, install a strong sub-base, then lay and compact tarmac for a durable surface. You’ll get straightforward communication, tidy working practices and a clear schedule—most jobs complete in 1–2 days. All installations come with a 10-year warranty for peace of mind.
In the London Borough of Bromley, access and parking can be tight, so we plan deliveries and waste removal carefully. Chislehurst’s mix of mature trees and older plots can affect roots and levels, so we assess excavation depth and edge restraints properly. We also set falls to manage surface water and advise on permeable solutions where required. If a dropped kerb is needed, we can guide you through the process and specifications.

For tarmac driveways chislehurst area projects, budgets typically fall between £40–£70 per square metre, depending on excavation depth, sub-base condition and edging choices.

We’ll survey the site and provide a clear, itemised estimate based on your layout and access.
Most tarmac driveway installations take 1–2 days, assuming straightforward access and no major drainage changes. Time can increase if we need to excavate deeper, rebuild a failed sub-base, install decorative edging, or coordinate a dropped kerb. Weather also plays a part, as heavy rain can delay laying and compaction. We’ll confirm a schedule in advance and keep disruption to a minimum.
In many cases, a new or resurfaced driveway is permitted development, but rules can apply to surface water drainage and materials. If the driveway is non-permeable and exceeds certain sizes, you may need to manage runoff within your property rather than onto the highway. Dropped kerbs always require council approval. We’ll advise on compliant options and help you check requirements before work begins.
Yes. We provide a 10-year warranty on our tarmac driveway installations, covering workmanship and the integrity of the laid surface under normal domestic use. This includes issues such as premature cracking caused by poor installation or sub-base failure. The warranty does not cover damage from heavy commercial vehicles, oil spills left untreated, or ground movement from external factors. We’ll also share aftercare guidance to protect the finish.
You can choose from standard black tarmac, red tarmac for a warmer look, and a range of decorative edging options such as block, kerb or stone borders. We also offer tarmac resurfacing where the base is sound, plus targeted repairs for potholes and worn entrances. If you need better access, we can discuss dropped kerbs and threshold detailing. We’ll recommend the best finish based on your property style and usage.
