Resin-bound driveways

Smooth, permeable and weed-resistant. A modern finish available in natural stone colours, SUDS-compliant and ideal for contemporary frontages.

Block paving

Classic and contemporary block paving in a range of colours and patterns. We prepare a solid sub-base, lay each block with care and finish with kiln-dried sand.

Tarmac

Hard-wearing tarmac driveways with crisp edgings and a compacted stone base. A practical choice for daily use and heavy vehicles.

Gravel & shingle

Cost-effective gravel and shingle surfaces with stabilising grids and defined edgings to keep everything in place and looking tidy.

Driveways built for Coulsdon

Coulsdon driveways often sit on London Clay, so drainage and a compacted MOT type 1 sub-base are essential. We design falls, linear channels and SUDS-compliant resin surfaces to stop puddles and protect your investment.

Our approach in Coulsdon

Because we are based in Coulsdon, most of our driveway work is right here in the town. A typical project starts with a free visit where we measure the frontage, check levels and discuss materials such as resin-bound gravel, block paving or tarmac. We then excavate to the correct depth, lay a compacted sub-base and install drainage before the finished surface goes down. Edgings are set in concrete so the borders stay crisp for years. If your new driveway needs a dropped kerb, we explain the council application process and what is involved before you commit.

Driveway FAQs for Coulsdon

How long does a new driveway take?

Most domestic driveways take three to seven working days depending on size, excavation and drainage. We confirm a realistic schedule with your written quote.

Do I need planning permission for a driveway?

Usually not if the surface is permeable, such as resin-bound gravel, or drainage runs to a soakaway on your land. We advise on SUDS rules and dropped kerb applications at the survey.

Which driveway surface is best?

It depends on your property and budget. Resin-bound is permeable and low maintenance, block paving is versatile and repairable, tarmac is hard-wearing, and gravel is the most cost-effective. We bring samples to the site visit.

Are you insured?

Yes. We are fully insured, hold a waste carrier licence, and every employee working in Coulsdon is enhanced DBS checked.
