A well-laid tarmac driveway makes parking easier, keeps the front of your home looking sharp, and stands up to British weather. We install and renew driveways across Sutton, including Cheam and Carshalton, with careful prep and neat edges. If you’re near Sutton High Street or the St Nicholas Centre, we can usually survey quickly and schedule work without fuss. Expect a practical surface that’s easy to maintain and looks great year-round.
The Sutton area has a mix of 1930s semis, Victorian terraces and newer developments, each with different access and layout challenges. We design driveway levels and drainage details to suit sloping plots, shared crossovers and tight front gardens. Whether you’re in SM1, SM2 or SM3, we’ll recommend the right build-up and edging for long-term performance. Our finishes are chosen to complement brickwork, render and modern cladding alike.
We start with a site visit, measure-up and a clear written specification, then prepare a stable sub-base before laying and compacting the tarmac properly. You’ll get straightforward guidance on curing times, parking, and aftercare so the surface beds in well. We keep disruption low with organised deliveries, tidy working areas and clear communication throughout. Local homeowners choose us for consistent workmanship, reliable timings and a finish that lasts.
Across the London Borough of Sutton, we often work with mixed ground conditions and front gardens that need careful levels to avoid water sitting near thresholds. Parking and access can be tight on residential roads, so we plan deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption. We also factor in dropped kerb requirements and crossover positioning where needed. Our approach suits everything from compact terraces to wider 1930s plots.

For tarmac driveways Sutton area homeowners typically budget around £40–£70 per square metre, depending on excavation depth, sub-base condition and edging choices. As a guide, many domestic driveways fall in the £1,600–£3,500 range. Costs can rise if you need extensive dig-out, drainage adjustments, decorative kerbs, or a dropped kerb. We’ll survey and provide a detailed, itemised estimate.
Most tarmac driveway projects take 1–2 days from preparation to final compaction, although larger areas or complex access can extend this. Timescales depend on how much excavation is required, whether an existing surface needs removal, and if drainage or edging works are included. Weather can also affect scheduling and curing. We’ll confirm a realistic programme and advise when it’s safe to walk and park on it.
Many driveway installations are permitted development, but rules can apply if you’re changing levels, altering access, or managing surface water run-off. In the London Borough of Sutton, you may need to ensure water drains to a permeable area or suitable system rather than the highway. Dropped kerbs and crossovers usually require council approval. We’ll flag likely requirements during the survey and help you stay compliant.
Yes. We provide a 10-year warranty on our tarmac driveway workmanship, covering issues such as premature cracking caused by poor installation, sinking due to inadequate base preparation, or edge failure where specified. Normal wear, accidental damage, heavy commercial loads and problems caused by third-party works aren’t covered. We’ll also explain simple aftercare—like curing time and cleaning—to help you get the best lifespan from your driveway.
We offer new installations, tarmac resurfacing, and targeted repairs, with options to tailor the look. Popular choices include standard black tarmac, red tarmac for a warmer tone, and decorative edging using kerbs or contrasting borders. We can also integrate a dropped kerb approach and tidy transitions to paths or patios. We’ll recommend the best combination based on your property style, usage, and budget.
