Expert driveway renovation services in Tooting, SW17. Trusted by homeowners across London Borough of Wandsworth.
A lot of Tooting terraces have a front garden that's just the right size for a car, and we help owners across Tooting Bec, Tooting Broadway and the streets around them turn that underused patch into a proper driveway that also looks the part.
Our Tooting driveways are kept simple and they work. We measure up the front garden, check the crossover is on, and design a layout that gives you a comfortable parking space while keeping as much green as we can. Permeable block paving or resin bound gravel for the surface, with low planting or a box hedge along the edges to soften it off.
The crossover application goes to either Wandsworth or Merton Council depending on exactly where you are in Tooting, and we handle the whole thing. We prepare the drawings, put the application in, and chase the council to keep it moving. Once it's approved the build itself is usually 5 to 8 days.
EV charging is an option on every new driveway we do. A wall or post mounted charger on its own dedicated circuit, so you can charge at home and the house is set up for an electric car whenever you get one.
Parking on Tooting's streets is a real squeeze, so off street parking is about the most practical thing you can add to a house here. Plenty of the Victorian terraces have a front garden big enough for a single space, and the conversion is usually straightforward once the crossover application is through.
A driveway gives you convenience straight away and adds genuine value. Agents round here put off street parking in the top five things Tooting buyers ask for.
“SOM did everything, the crossover application, the block paving, the boundary wall and the EV charger. Our terrace has proper off street parking for the first time. No more circling the block looking for a space, and the front garden actually looks nicer than before.”

Our groundwork team does it properly, solid foundations, careful laying and a clean finish that is built to last.
Tooting sits across the Wandsworth and Merton boundary. We check your exact address and send the crossover application to the right council. The requirements are much the same, the process differs a little between the two.
The crossover application usually takes 8 to 12 weeks to get approved. Once it's through, the build, crossover, groundwork, paving and boundaries, is 5 to 8 working days. We line it up so construction starts soon after approval.
If the front garden is at least 2.4 metres wide and 2.5 metres deep, one space is usually doable. We survey it, check the dimensions, and tell you honestly whether a crossover application is likely to get through.
