Driveways & Paving in Kidbrooke
In Kidbrooke and across Greenwich we are most often asked for driveways and extensions for semis in Eltham. Greenwich town centre is part of a World Heritage Site and, with Blackheath and parts of Eltham, is covered by conservation areas with close control of external works. New-build flats usually need managing agent approval for flooring changes and internal alterations.
Driveways & Paving in Kidbrooke
A front that does the house justice.
A driveway fails from underneath. We dig out to the right depth, lay and compact a proper sub-base, sort the drainage, and only then lay the surface you actually see. That is why ours stay flat.

Eltham is largely inter-war semis plus an early garden suburb estate, and the riverside at Woolwich and the Greenwich Peninsula is dominated by new apartment developments.

FAQ
Driveways & Paving in Kidbrooke
Not answered here? Call 07595 386864 and ask us directly.
Do you carry out driveways & paving in Kidbrooke?
Yes. Kidbrooke is in Greenwich, where we work every week alongside Greenwich, Woolwich, Eltham and Charlton.
Do I need planning permission for a new driveway?
Not if the surface is permeable, or if rainwater drains to a border or soakaway within your property. Paving more than five square metres of front garden with a non-permeable surface that drains to the road does need planning permission. We design the drainage so you stay on the right side of the rule.
Do I need a dropped kerb?
Yes, if you will be driving over the pavement to reach the drive. The council carries out or licenses the kerb work. We can advise on the application and build the drive to meet it.
How long does a driveway take?
Most domestic driveways take three to six working days, depending on size, excavation and weather.
