A well-built driveway plays a key role in how your property looks and works each day. Homeowners in Bromley often want a surface that can handle regular use, support vehicles with ease, and still look neat for years to come. The challenge is finding a contractor who can manage the full process without adding stress or delays.
At Grounddown Construction, we provide reliable driveway services that focus on clear planning, strong workmanship, and long-term results. From the first visit to the final finish, our team works with care and attention to detail, helping you achieve a driveway that suits your property and daily needs.

Each project is planned around the layout of your property, access needs, and day to day use. Our experienced team handles preparation, groundworks and installation with a clear process that keeps work organised and disruption low.
Our driveways are built using proven materials and methods that deliver strength and a clean finish. Tarmac driveways offer a practical and long-lasting surface, while resin and block paving provide a smart look with solid performance.

In most cases, no. If your new front driveway covers more than five square metres, it must either use a permeable surface or drain into a lawn, border or soakaway on your own land. Resin bound and permeable block paving both meet this rule, so planning permission is rarely needed.
If you need a new dropped kerb to get your car onto the drive, that is a separate application to the London Borough of Bromley. We can point you in the right direction and plan the layout so it lines up with the kerb you have applied for.
Most domestic driveways in Bromley take between two and five working days. A straightforward resin or tarmac drive on a sound base is often finished within three days, while block paving takes a little longer because every block is laid and cut by hand.
Larger plots, deep excavations or drainage work can add a few days. We give you a clear start date and timeline before work begins, and we will tell you straight away if anything we uncover is likely to change it.
That depends on your budget, the slope of your drive, how much upkeep you are happy with and the style of your home. Resin bound suits modern and period homes alike and needs very little maintenance. Block paving gives you more freedom with patterns and borders, and single blocks can be lifted and relaid if a repair is ever needed.
Tarmac is a practical choice for longer drives or where cost matters most, and gravel works well on larger plots with a more rural feel. When we visit, we look at your ground conditions and how you use the space, then talk you through the options that make the most sense.
Sometimes, but only if the base underneath is in good shape. Resin and tarmac can be laid over existing concrete or tarmac that is level, stable and free from deep cracks. This can save time and keep costs down.
Where the old drive is sinking, breaking up or holding water, overlaying it only hides the problem for a while. Much of Bromley sits on clay, which moves as it dries out and gets wet again, so a weak base will show through any new surface. In that case, we dig out and rebuild the sub-base properly before laying anything on top. We always check this during the site visit and explain what we find, so you know exactly why we are recommending one approach over the other.
