Driveways & Paving in Pinner
In Pinner and across Harrow we are most often asked for driveways and front garden parking and patios and garden paving. Harrow on the Hill, Pinner and parts of Stanmore are conservation areas with tight controls on materials and frontages. On the typical inter-war semi, side extensions are assessed for their effect on the gap between houses, so designs often need setting back or in.
Driveways & Paving in Pinner
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.

Homes in Harrow
Harrow is the heart of Metroland, and Rayners Lane, North Harrow, Kenton and South Harrow are made up of 1930s semis and terraces, some in a mock-Tudor or Art Deco style. Harrow on the Hill and Pinner's old centre have much older buildings, Wealdstone has Victorian terraces, and Stanmore and Hatch End have larger detached houses.

FAQ
Driveways & Paving in Pinner
Not answered here? Call 07595 386864 and ask us directly.
Do you carry out driveways & paving in Pinner?
Yes. Pinner is in Harrow, where we work every week alongside Harrow, Stanmore, Wealdstone and Harrow on the Hill.
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.
