Expert driveway renovation services in Brixton, SW2. Trusted by homeowners across London Borough of Lambeth.
Parking in Brixton is a real fight, and a driveway puts an end to it. We design and build driveways for Brixton owners that give you secure off street parking without stripping the character out of the front garden.
Brixton's wider Victorian houses, mainly along Brixton Hill and towards Herne Hill, often have front gardens that suit a driveway. We design these with permeable paving, planting beds kept in and boundary work that sits well with the Victorian architecture. The result is a frontage that is practical, good looking and in keeping with the street.
Lambeth Council deals with crossover applications in Brixton, and we handle the whole thing for you. The council weighs up road safety, the look of the street and surface water drainage. We know how Lambeth's process runs, so applications go in right and get through without fuss.
For houses in a conservation area the driveway needs a bit more thought. The materials, the boundary treatment and the overall look of the frontage have to respect the conservation area. We design driveways that tick those boxes and still give you the parking you are after.
Brixton's streets are among the most parking starved in south London, so getting a car off the road is a genuine amenity. Lambeth Council's crossover criteria and the Brixton conservation area both set design requirements that need careful handling.
A good driveway in Brixton gives you day to day convenience, adds value and, done with the right materials and planting, lifts the street rather than dragging it down. Our driveways balance all of that.
“SOM ran our Lambeth crossover application, built a lovely brick paved driveway with low lavender along the edges and rebuilt our front wall. It looks smart and we finally have somewhere to park. It has genuinely changed our day to day.”

Yes, but the design has to respect the conservation area. Materials, boundaries and planting all need to suit the street. We design driveways that meet Lambeth Council's conservation criteria while still giving you proper off street parking.
A typical single space driveway in Brixton runs between £6,000 and £15,000, depending on the surface, the boundary work and any conservation area requirements. The Lambeth Council crossover fee is on top. We give a detailed quote after a site survey.
If it is refused, we go through the reasons and advise whether a revised application dealing with the council's concerns is likely to get through. Refusals usually come down to road safety, a garden that is too small or worries about the street. We check eligibility carefully before applying to keep that risk low.
