Block paving, resin & natural stone driveways across SE2
Driveways in Abbey Wood
A driveway is the first thing anyone sees of a Abbey Wood home, and it has to carry the weight of cars every day for decades. We design and build driveways across SE2 for new-build developments and period terraces, starting with full excavation, a deep compacted MOT type 1 sub-base and edge restraints that stop the surface spreading or sinking. Then we finish it in block paving, resin-bound gravel, natural stone or tarmac, whichever suits the house and your budget.
We handle the details that cheaper installers skip: falls and channel drains so water doesn't run toward the house, permeable options that meet planning rules for front gardens over five square metres, and dropped-kerb advice where you need it. You get a fixed, itemised quote after a free site visit.

Most Abbey Wood driveways cost roughly £80–£150 per m² for block paving and £90–£160 per m² for resin-bound, depending on dig-out depth, access and drainage. A typical 40–50 m² driveway usually comes to £4,000–£8,000. We give a fixed quote after a free visit.
Not if the surface is permeable or water drains onto your own garden. Impermeable surfaces over 5 m² in a front garden need planning permission. We'll recommend a compliant option.
Most driveways take 4–8 working days, depending on size and the surface you choose.
Resin is seamless, permeable and low-maintenance. Block paving is very tough and can be repaired one block at a time. We'll show you samples of both.
