Laser Survey
We check ground falls with optical levels, calculate SuDS drainage requirements, and bring sample cases to your home.
Excavation
We excavate aged tarmac or turf, lay commercial geotextile weed membrane, and compact heavy Type 1 MOT crushed stone.
Drainage & Kerbs
Installation of recessed ACO slot drainage, soakaways, and concrete-haunched boundary kerbs to stop perimeter spreading.
Pour / Hand-Lay
For concrete: pouring C35 fibre mix & imprint stamping. For block paving: hand-laying blocks in specified bond pattern.
Seal & Handover
Pressure acid wash, laser expansion joint cutting, and dual coats of anti-slip acrylic sealer. Ready to drive on in 48 hours.
Client Experiences Across London
“Sergio and his team did an absolutely beautiful job on our concrete imprinted driveway in Harrow! They were prompt and worked diligently through hot weather. Incredible precision on the charcoal border.”
“These guys were brilliant. Turned up exactly when promised, matched the paving to our Victorian brickwork as requested, and installed proper drainage channels that handled heavy winter storms perfectly.”
“Sergei and the Pavdrive crew transformed an old, weed-infested gravel pit into an incredible Yorkstone concrete driveway. 100% recommend them to anyone in West London wanting a zero-maintenance finish.”
“Living in a Hampstead conservation area, we needed something that respected the period look of the house. Pavdrive's cobble imprint looks like hand-set granite.”
“We were fed up with water pooling outside the garage whenever it rained heavily in autumn. The resin bound surface drains instantly, looks warm and contemporary.”
“Sergio was completely straight with us about our clay sub-base. Other quotes didn't mention the 150mm crushed granite base depth. Six months on with two heavy electric cars, it is as flat as the day it was laid.”
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about planning permissions, drainage regulations, and maintenance in London.
In the vast majority of cases, no planning permission is required. Under UK Town and Country Planning regulations, driveways do not need permission provided that surface water drains into a permeable border, lawn, or SuDS-compliant soakaway.
Both systems easily last 30+ years when installed over a 150mm compacted sub-base. However, pattern imprinted concrete requires much less upkeep because weeds cannot sprout through the solid slab.
A standard 2-car driveway (50m²–75m²) takes 4 to 6 working days depending on ground conditions and weather.
Our surveyor conducts an optical laser measurement to evaluate drainage falls, reviews soil conditions, presents physical sample cases and issues a firm, fixed-price written quotation.
