Installing driveways across Biggin Hill means understanding the particular challenges of this elevated location. Properties here often feature sloping frontages that require careful water management and structural considerations. Years of working on homes from Jail Lane to Sunningvale Avenue have taught us that no two installations are quite the same. The mix of post-war developments and newer builds each present their own access requirements.
Proper groundwork forms the backbone of any lasting driveway, particularly crucial given Biggin Hill's clay-heavy substrate. Excavation depths vary depending on existing conditions, but typically we're removing 200-300mm before laying Type 1 MOT stone. Gradient calculations ensure rainwater flows away from your property - essential when you're 600 feet above sea level. Modern permeable surfaces help comply with drainage regulations whilst maintaining the kerb appeal your home deserves.
Twenty years tackling Biggin Hill's trickiest entrances has given us insight you won't find elsewhere. From navigating narrow access roads to working around mature trees that characterise many TN16 gardens, experience counts.

A standard two-car driveway usually ranges from £3,500 to £7,000, though hillside properties requiring retaining work or extensive levelling can reach £10,000-£12,000. Block paving starts around £75 per square metre, with resin-bound surfaces from £60.
Absolutely - from the Churchill Theatre end right through to Aperfield. Regular projects take us to nearby Keston, Westerham and Tatsfield too, so we know the local terrain well.
Most installations finish within 5-7 working days once started. Larger projects with significant groundwork or drainage requirements might stretch to two weeks. Weather permitting, of course - Biggin Hill fog can occasionally slow things down!
Every driveway carries our decade-long guarantee covering both materials and workmanship. This includes protection against sinking, drainage failures, and surface degradation - peace of mind that your investment is protected.
Hillside driveways are actually our speciality. Using techniques like stepped levels, reinforced sub-bases, and strategic drainage channels, we create functional surfaces that work with your land's natural contours rather than against them.
