If you’re parking near Tooting Broadway station or heading out via Tooting Bec Common, a reliable driveway makes everyday life easier. We design and lay hard-wearing tarmac surfaces that handle frequent use and London weather without cracking or rutting. From compact front gardens to wider entrances, we tailor levels and drainage for a clean, practical result. We cover SW17 including Tooting Bec and Tooting Graveney.
Tooting’s Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and mansion conversions often come with narrow access, shared boundaries and existing paving that needs careful integration. Our team understands how to maximise parking space while keeping the frontage neat and in keeping with period brickwork. We can incorporate decorative edging to define borders and protect planting beds. For properties with sloped approaches, we set falls correctly to reduce standing water.
We start with a site survey, measure-up and a clear, written scope so you know what’s included. Preparation is done properly: excavation where needed, a solid sub-base, and a smooth wearing course laid and compacted to specification. We keep disruption low with tidy working practices and sensible scheduling. All installations are backed by our 10-year warranty, and many local homeowners choose us for consistent workmanship and straightforward communication.
In Tooting, access can be tight on residential streets and parking restrictions are common, so we plan deliveries and waste removal carefully. Many front gardens sit slightly above pavement level, so we pay close attention to thresholds, falls and drainage. Where a dropped kerb is needed, we can advise on the process and align the driveway levels to suit. Our approach suits the varied frontages found around Furzedown and Tooting Broadway.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
For most homes in SW17, tarmac is typically £40–£70 per square metre depending on access, excavation needs and edging choices. A small to medium driveway often comes in around £1,600–£3,500, while larger areas or jobs needing significant groundworks can cost more. We’ll assess the existing base, levels and drainage before recommending either resurfacing or a full new build-up.
Most tarmac driveway projects in Tooting take 1–2 days, especially when access is straightforward and the ground is stable. Resurfacing can be quicker, while full dig-outs, deeper sub-bases or extensive edging will add time. Weather and curing conditions also affect scheduling. We’ll confirm a realistic programme after the site visit and keep you updated if anything changes once excavation starts.
In many cases, driveway works are permitted development, but rules can apply around drainage, levels and works affecting the public highway. If surface water would run onto the pavement or road, you may need a permeable solution or drainage provision. Dropped kerbs require council approval and an authorised contractor process. We’ll talk you through the requirements and check what applies to your property before work begins.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our tarmac driveway installations, covering workmanship issues such as premature cracking, sinking due to inadequate base preparation, or edge failure where installed by us. Normal wear, accidental damage, heavy commercial vehicle loading and issues caused by third-party alterations aren’t covered. We also give aftercare guidance, including when to use the driveway and how to keep it clean and looking sharp.
You can choose standard black tarmac, red tarmac for a warmer look, or combine tarmac with decorative edging such as block paving, kerb stones or contrasting borders. We can also reprofile and resurface existing drives where the base is sound, or carry out targeted repairs to potholes and depressions. During the survey we’ll discuss colour, edging, levels and drainage so the finished driveway suits your home’s style and parking needs.
