Driveways & Paving in Wandsworth Town
In Wandsworth Town and across Wandsworth we are most often asked for block paved and resin driveways in Putney and Southfields. There are conservation areas around the commons and in parts of Putney and Battersea, where changes to fronts, roofs and boundary walls need checking first. A new driveway needs a council-approved dropped kerb, and street trees or parking bays can affect whether one is granted.
Driveways & Paving in Wandsworth Town
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 Wandsworth Town
Not answered here? Call 07595 386864 and ask us directly.
Do you carry out driveways & paving in Wandsworth Town?
Yes. Wandsworth Town is in Wandsworth, where we work every week alongside Battersea, Balham, Tooting and Putney.
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.
