Driveways & Paving in Fulham
In Fulham and across Hammersmith and Fulham we are most often asked for small rear garden paving and patios. Conservation areas cover a good part of the borough, and properties near the river fall within Thames flood zones, which affects basement and lower ground floor proposals. Roof extensions on terraces are common but the acceptable form varies from one road to the next.
Driveways & Paving in Fulham
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 Fulham
Not answered here? Call 07595 386864 and ask us directly.
Do you carry out driveways & paving in Fulham?
Yes. Fulham is in Hammersmith and Fulham, where we work every week alongside Hammersmith, Shepherd's Bush, White City and Parsons Green.
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.
