If your driveway is cracked, patchy or holding puddles, a fresh tarmac surface is a practical upgrade. We deliver new installations and resurfacing across SW18, including Wandsworth Town and Earlsfield. Our team regularly works near Wandsworth Common and Southside Shopping Centre, so we’re used to busy streets and tight access. Expect a neat, even finish that’s easy to maintain and looks right outside your home.
Wandsworth is a popular family area with excellent schools and transport links, and driveways often need to cope with daily parking and school-run traffic. We design solutions that suit Victorian and Edwardian houses as well as modern riverside apartments where space is at a premium. Levels, drainage falls and edging details are planned carefully so the driveway works as well as it looks. The result is a surface that stays stable, drains properly and complements your frontage.
We start with a site survey, check levels, and agree the finish—standard black, red tarmac, or decorative edging. Our process includes proper excavation where needed, a strong sub-base, and machine-laid tarmac for a smooth, durable surface. We protect nearby paving and walls, keep the area tidy, and provide clear aftercare guidance. Homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, transparent pricing, and workmanship backed by a 10-year warranty.
Working in the London Borough of Wandsworth means planning for controlled parking zones, school-run congestion and limited skip placement. We schedule deliveries sensibly, keep access clear, and adapt methods for narrow side passages common around East Hill and Southfields. Ground conditions vary between made-up front gardens and older compacted bases, so we assess sub-base depth carefully. Where needed, we also advise on dropped kerbs and safe transitions to the pavement.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
For tarmac driveways in Wandsworth area, budgets typically fall between £40–£70 per square metre, depending on excavation, sub-base depth and edging details. Many homeowners spend around £1,600–£3,500 for a typical front drive, but larger areas or extensive groundworks can increase costs. Resurfacing is often more cost-effective than a full dig-out if the base is sound. We’ll survey and provide a clear, itemised estimate.
Most tarmac driveway projects take 1–2 days on site, depending on size and whether we’re installing new or resurfacing. A straightforward overlay can often be completed in a day, while full excavation, sub-base installation and kerb work usually needs longer. Access, parking restrictions, drainage adjustments and dropped kerb coordination can also affect timings. We’ll confirm a schedule before starting and keep disruption to a minimum.
Many driveway upgrades are permitted development, but rules can apply around drainage, levels and works that affect the public pavement. If you need a dropped kerb, this is usually managed through the council’s application process and approved contractors. We’ll advise on compliant surface water management and whether additional permissions may be required for your property. Our team checks the practical requirements before work begins to avoid surprises.
Yes—our tarmac driveway installations and resurfacing come with a 10-year warranty for workmanship. This covers issues such as premature surface failure caused by installation defects, including poor compaction or inadequate preparation. Normal wear, accidental damage, oil spills and problems caused by underlying services or third-party works aren’t covered. We also provide aftercare advice, including curing times and when to park on the new surface.
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. If your existing base is stable, tarmac resurfacing can refresh the appearance without full excavation. We can also repair potholes and failed patches to extend the driveway’s life. During the survey, we’ll recommend the best finish based on your frontage, drainage needs and budget.
