Your driveway and paving questions answered
How much does a new driveway cost in London?
The price depends on the area, the surface you choose, the state of the ground, drainage, edgings, access and waste removal. We give a free written quote after a site visit with the whole scope listed.
Do you offer free quotes?
Yes. All our quotes are free and come without obligation.
Which driveway surface should I choose?
It depends on your property, budget and how you use the space. See driveway materials compared.
Do I need planning permission for a driveway?
Often not, but there are rules about hard surfaces in front gardens, and dropped kerbs need approval. See our planning guide.
Do you build dropped kerbs?
We guide you through the application and arrange the work once it is approved. See dropped kerbs.
Which areas do you cover?
All London boroughs. See areas we cover.
How long does a new driveway take?
A typical domestic driveway takes a few days, depending on the size, the surface and the weather. We give you a programme with the quote.
Can I use my driveway straight away?
Not always. Each surface has its own curing or settling time, and we tell you when it is safe to walk and drive on.
Do you remove the old driveway and waste?
Yes. Removal and waste disposal can be included in the quote and we leave the site clean.
Will the driveway be permeable?
We can build permeable driveways that meet the front garden rules. See permeable paving.
Do you repair existing driveways and paving?
Yes. See driveway repairs and paving repairs.
Do you work for businesses and landlords?
Yes. See commercial paving.
