Driveways & Paving in Redbridge
In Redbridge we are most often asked for block paved driveways for 1930s semis. Wanstead, Woodford and Aldersbrook include conservation areas where front elevations and gardens are protected. The borough sits on London clay with many street and forest-edge trees, so extension foundations may need to go deeper than standard.
Driveways & Paving in Redbridge
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.

- Resin-bound surfacingSmooth, permeable, low-maintenance surfaces in a wide range of stone blends.

FAQ
Driveways & Paving in Redbridge
Not answered here? Call 07595 386864 and ask us directly.
Do you carry out driveways & paving in Redbridge?
Yes. We work across Redbridge, including Ilford, Wanstead, Woodford, South Woodford and Woodford Green.
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.
