Driveways & Paving in Knightsbridge
We lay driveways and paving across Westminster. A large share of the borough sits in conservation areas and many buildings are listed, so windows, front elevations, roofs and basements should all be checked with the council before work is planned. Leasehold flats and the big landed estates often need freeholder consent on top of planning.
Driveways & Paving in Knightsbridge
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 Knightsbridge
Not answered here? Call 07595 386864 and ask us directly.
Do you carry out driveways & paving in Knightsbridge?
Yes. Knightsbridge is in Westminster, where we work every week alongside Mayfair, Marylebone, Soho and Pimlico.
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.
