Expert driveway renovation services in Streatham, SW16. Trusted by homeowners across London Borough of Lambeth.
Streatham's larger properties often have front gardens or existing driveways that would benefit from renovation. SOM Development designs and builds driveways across SW16 that provide practical parking, enhance kerb appeal, and add genuine value to Streatham homes.
The Edwardian houses around Streatham Common frequently have front gardens large enough for two or even three parking spaces. We design these larger driveways with care, combining permeable paving with generous planting beds, specimen trees, and quality boundary treatments to avoid the car-park appearance that blights so many suburban frontages.
Victorian terraces along Leigham Court Road and Streatham Hill typically have smaller front gardens suitable for a single parking space. We design compact driveways that make the most of the available area, with neat permeable paving and low planting to maintain an attractive streetscape.
Streatham spans the Lambeth and Wandsworth boroughs, and we manage crossover applications with the correct council for your specific property. Both boroughs require permeable surfaces and assess applications against road-safety and streetscape criteria. Our experience with both processes ensures efficient approval and quality delivery.
Streatham's housing stock includes properties with some of the largest front gardens in South London, offering driveway opportunities that are not available in more central areas. The larger Edwardian houses can accommodate substantial driveways that solve multi-vehicle parking needs while maintaining an attractive frontage.
A driveway in Streatham is one of the most practical home improvements available. Off-street parking relieves the daily frustration of congested residential streets and provides the security and convenience of parking at your own front door.
“SOM designed a two-car driveway for our Streatham Common house with beautiful block paving, a new brick wall with pillars, and a lovely hedge along the boundary. They fitted two EV chargers and the whole front garden looks better than ever. Parking sorted for good.”

If your front garden is large enough, a two-car or even three-car driveway is possible. The crossover width may need to be increased, which requires council approval. We design the layout to accommodate multiple vehicles while retaining planting and an attractive frontage.
It depends on your exact location—the Lambeth/Wandsworth boundary runs through Streatham. We verify your property's borough and submit the application to the correct council. The requirements are similar but the application processes differ.
Yes. We install EV chargers on existing driveways, routing cabling discreetly from the consumer unit to the charging position. A dedicated circuit is installed to handle the charging load safely, and we can accommodate chargers from all major manufacturers.
