Block paving, resin & natural stone driveways across SE9
Driveways in New Eltham
A driveway is the first thing anyone sees of a New Eltham home, and it has to carry the weight of cars every day for decades. We design and build driveways across SE9 for family semis near Avery Hill Park, 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 New Eltham 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.
