A well-built driveway transforms kerb appeal, parking and day-to-day convenience—especially around busy routes near Kingston Bridge and the Bentall Centre. We design and install driveways that look sharp, drain correctly and stand up to heavy use. From new builds to upgrades, we tailor every surface to your property and budget. Our team covers KT1 and KT2 with a tidy, professional service.
Kingston upon Thames has a mix of Victorian villas, Edwardian houses and modern waterfront apartments, each needing a different approach to levels, edging and access. In Surbiton and New Malden, we often improve tired front gardens into practical parking with attractive borders. For newer developments, we focus on clean lines, discreet drainage and crisp detailing. Whatever the style, we match materials and patterns to complement the façade and surrounding streetscape.
We start with a site survey, discuss design options, and provide a clear written quotation. Groundworks are completed properly—excavation depth, sub-base compaction, correct falls and drainage—so the finish lasts. You’ll get regular updates, respectful site management and a clean handover. Homeowners choose us for consistent workmanship backed by a 10-year warranty and straightforward aftercare.
As driveway contractors in Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames, we plan around narrow access, controlled parking and busy school-run streets. Ground conditions can vary, so we assess levels and drainage carefully to prevent pooling near thresholds. We also consider sightlines and safe vehicle entry where plots meet main roads. Our designs suit everything from period frontages to modern apartment forecourts.

Costs vary by size, excavation needs and finish. As a guide, gravel driveways often start from around £70–£110 per m², tarmac from £90–£140 per m², and block paving from £110–£180 per m². Resin-bound typically ranges £120–£200 per m², while concrete is often £100–£160 per m². Drainage, edging, steps and dropped kerbs can add to the total.
Most installations take 3–7 working days, depending on area, access and the amount of excavation required. Block paving and resin systems can take longer if we’re building retaining edges, installing drainage, or waiting for suitable weather. Larger driveways, complex patterns, or repairs to existing sub-bases may extend the programme. We’ll confirm a realistic schedule after the site survey and keep you updated throughout.
Many driveway projects are permitted development, but rules can apply—especially for surface water drainage to the highway and for non-permeable materials over certain areas. Using permeable block paving, resin-bound systems or suitable drainage can help meet requirements. Dropped kerbs always need approval from the relevant authority. We’ll advise on the best compliant approach and can help you understand any council permissions needed before work begins.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for new driveway installations, covering issues such as sub-base failure, poor compaction, and installation-related movement. Materials are also covered by relevant manufacturer warranties where applicable (for example, resin systems). The warranty doesn’t cover accidental damage, misuse, or problems caused by third-party alterations. We’ll explain what’s included for your chosen surface and provide aftercare guidance to protect the finish.
Block paving remains a favourite for Victorian and Edwardian homes, with herringbone patterns and contrasting borders. Resin-bound is popular for a sleek, modern look that’s also permeable, while tarmac suits simple, hard-wearing driveways with neat edging. Gravel works well for character properties when properly stabilised, and concrete can be finished with clean lines or textured options. We’ll help you choose colours, edging and layouts that suit access, drainage and your façade.
