We match homeowners across North London and South Hertfordshire with vetted, insured driveway and paving specialists who actually work in their postcode. Whether you're on a tight Victorian terrace in N or NW London, an inter-war semi in Watford or St Albans, or a larger plot in Radlett or Hemel Hempstead, we shortlist contractors who already understand the access, drainage and planning quirks of your street — not a generic broadcast list.
Most front-garden driveways in North London and Herts are large enough to trigger SuDS-compliant drainage rules under the 2008 paving regulations. The contractors we shortlist quote permeable build-ups (or proper soakaways) by default — not impermeable shortcuts that fail at handover.
Parts of Hampstead, Highgate, Barnet, St Albans and Radlett sit in conservation areas where dropped kerbs and front-boundary changes need council sign-off. Our shortlists prioritise contractors with recent successful applications in your borough.
North London and Herts driveways typically sit £3,000–£5,000 above national averages once you factor in skip permits, restricted street access and tighter dig-out windows. We surface honest scope-by-scope pricing, not headline rates that quietly exclude the obvious.
You won't be passed around six contractors chasing the same job. We send your project to a tight shortlist — usually two or three — with a quick fit check before they see your details.
