Driveways & Paving in Raynes Park
In Raynes Park and across Merton we are most often asked for driveways for inter-war houses in Morden and Raynes Park. Wimbledon and Merton Park contain several conservation areas where fronts, roofs and boundary treatments are controlled. Homes facing a common or green may have added restrictions on driveways and crossovers, so confirm with the council first.
Driveways & Paving in Raynes Park
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.

FAQ
Driveways & Paving in Raynes Park
Not answered here? Call 07595 386864 and ask us directly.
Do you carry out driveways & paving in Raynes Park?
Yes. Raynes Park is in Merton, where we work every week alongside Wimbledon, Mitcham, Morden and Colliers Wood.
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.
