A well-built driveway transforms how your home looks and how it works day to day, from parking to bin access. We design and install driveways across Kingston upon Thames, including KT1 and KT2, with finishes that suit everything from townhouses to riverside blocks. Whether you’re near Kingston Bridge or heading towards Surbiton, we’ll tailor the layout to your frontage and vehicle needs. Expect clean lines, tidy edging and a surface that performs in all seasons.
Kingston upon Thames has a mix of Victorian villas, Edwardian houses and modern waterfront apartments, and each calls for a different approach. Period properties often benefit from sympathetic block paving or natural stone, while contemporary homes suit sleek resin bound finishes. We also plan for practical realities such as shared access, tighter front gardens and on-street parking pressure. Our local experience helps us create driveways that feel right for the street, not just the plot.
We start with a site visit, levels check and a clear written specification, then prepare a strong sub-base and correct falls for drainage. Every installation is built to handle regular vehicle loads, with careful compaction and crisp detailing around steps, walls and thresholds. We can arrange dropped kerbs where required and ensure compliant permeable options where appropriate. Homeowners choose us for straightforward communication, tidy working practices and a finish backed by a 10-year warranty.
Across the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames we regularly encounter mixed ground conditions and varied levels, especially near older streets and riverside plots. Access can be tight, so we plan deliveries, waste removal and parking to minimise disruption. We also factor in surface water management, specifying permeable resin bound or correctly drained paving where needed. The result is a driveway that suits local property styles and stands up to London traffic and weather.

Costs vary by size, excavation needs, access and the finish you choose. As a guide, gravel is often £60–£120 per m², tarmac £80–£140 per m², block paving £110–£180 per m², and resin bound typically £120–£200 per m². Natural stone and complex drainage can increase budgets. We provide a site-specific quote after measuring levels and confirming the build-up.
Most domestic driveways take around 3–7 working days from excavation to final finish, depending on area and specification. Block paving and natural stone can take longer due to laying patterns and cutting, while tarmac can be quicker once the base is prepared. Timescales are affected by drainage requirements, waste removal, access for machinery and weather. We’ll confirm a realistic schedule before work starts.
Many driveway projects are permitted development, but rules can apply if you’re changing levels, adding impermeable surfacing over 5m², or altering access onto the highway. Permeable surfaces or suitable drainage to a soakaway usually help compliance. Dropped kerbs always require approval through the relevant highway process. We’ll advise on the likely requirements and help you choose a compliant design before installation.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for our driveway installations, covering issues such as sinking caused by inadequate sub-base preparation, loose edging and installation-related defects. Materials are also covered by manufacturer warranties where applicable (for example, resin systems or paving products). The warranty assumes normal domestic vehicle use and appropriate maintenance. We’ll explain what’s included and provide aftercare guidance on completion.
We install block paving (including herringbone patterns), resin bound for a smooth, permeable finish, tarmac for a clean, durable surface, and gravel for a classic look. Concrete and natural stone are also available for specific styles and budgets. We’ll help you choose colours, borders, edging and drainage details to suit your home and frontage. Our aim is a design that looks right and performs well year-round.
