Driveways & Paving in Worcester Park
In Worcester Park and across Sutton we are most often asked for block paved and tarmac driveways. Carshalton, Cheam and a number of residential estates are conservation areas or areas of special local character, with guidance on extensions and front gardens. The south of the borough rises onto chalk, which affects drainage design and soakaways for new paving.
Driveways & Paving in Worcester 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.

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

FAQ
Driveways & Paving in Worcester Park
Not answered here? Call 07595 386864 and ask us directly.
Do you carry out driveways & paving in Worcester Park?
Yes. Worcester Park is in Sutton, where we work every week alongside Sutton, Cheam, Carshalton and Wallington.
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.
