If your parking space is cracked, patchy or muddy, a new tarmac driveway gives a clean, durable finish with minimal fuss. We install and resurface driveways across SE13, including routes around Lewisham station and near Lewisham Shopping Centre. Whether you need a full new build, repairs or a smart refresh, we’ll recommend the most cost-effective option. The result is a driveway that looks sharp and performs well year-round.
Lewisham’s mix of Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and modern developments often comes with tight front gardens and shared access points. We’re used to working on short runs, sloping approaches and narrow crossovers, especially around Ladywell and Hither Green. Our team designs levels and drainage details to suit each property, keeping thresholds, paths and steps practical. For homeowners wanting a standout look, we can also supply red tarmac and decorative edging.
We start with a site visit to measure up, check the sub-base and confirm falls for surface water. You’ll receive a clear written specification covering excavation, base layers, edging and the tarmac finish, so you know exactly what’s included. We protect surrounding paving and planting, keep the site tidy, and aim to complete most jobs in 1–2 days. All workmanship is backed by our 10-year warranty for peace of mind.
Access and parking can be challenging around busy streets and transport links, so we plan deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption. In the London Borough of Lewisham, we also pay close attention to levels and drainage so water doesn’t run towards the house. Where crossovers meet the pavement, we align edges neatly and advise on dropped kerb requirements. Our approach suits everything from period terraces to newer developments with allocated parking.

Most tarmac driveway projects take 1–2 days on site, with time split between preparation and laying the tarmac. A straightforward overlay can be quicker, while full dig-outs, new edging, or repairs to a weak sub-base can add time. Access restrictions, skip permits, and weather can also affect scheduling. We’ll give you a realistic programme and keep you updated throughout.

Yes. Our tarmac driveway installations and resurfacing are covered by a 10-year warranty on workmanship. This includes issues such as premature cracking caused by poor preparation, edge failure due to incorrect installation, or surface defects linked to our laying process. Normal wear, accidental damage, or problems caused by underlying services not disclosed aren’t covered. We’ll explain the warranty terms clearly in writing.
You can choose standard black tarmac for a clean, classic look, or red tarmac for extra kerb appeal. We also install decorative edging (such as block or stone borders) to create crisp lines and protect the surface. For older driveways, repairs and resurfacing can restore appearance without full replacement. We’ll help you select finishes based on your property style, parking needs and budget.
