Services
What we do, in detail.
- New driveway installation
A driveway built from the ground up, laid out around your frontage rather than squeezed into it.
- Block paving repairs
Sunken patches, rutted bays, broken blocks and failed edges put right without replacing the whole drive.
- Lifting and re-laying
When the blocks are sound but the base underneath them never was, lifting and re-laying costs far less than starting again.
- Permeable block paving
The surfacing Richmond upon Thames expects, built so rainwater soaks away inside your boundary instead of running into the road.
- Driveway extensions and widening
Room for the second car, with new paving matched as closely as possible to what is already down.
- Groundworks and sub-bases
Excavation, sub-base and compaction. The part nobody ever sees, and the only part that decides whether a driveway lasts.
- Edging, kerbs and boundary walls
Edge restraints, entrance aprons, brick piers and low front walls. What holds the paving in and finishes the frontage.
Areas we cover
The streets and housing stock we know.
- St Margarets
Victorian and Edwardian frontages where the plot is narrow and the layout matters more than the area.
- East Twickenham
Period villas and terraces close to Richmond Bridge, where frontages are shallow and levels rarely run flat.
- Whitton
1930s semis with remarkably consistent frontages, and original concrete that has usually reached the end of its life.
- Strawberry Hill
Larger period houses, mature trees close to the frontage, and drives long enough to turn on.
