Biggin Hill's elevation brings unique drainage challenges that traditional tarmac simply can't handle. Permeable paving acts like a giant sponge, allowing rainwater to filter naturally through to the ground beneath. Properties along Main Road and Jail Lane particularly benefit from this technology, given the area's notorious surface water issues during heavy rainfall.
Each permeable installation starts with excavating to the correct depth - typically 350-450mm for domestic driveways. A carefully graded sub-base provides both stability and water storage capacity. The permeable blocks or resin-bound aggregate surface then slots together, creating tiny gaps where water infiltrates rather than rushing towards already overwhelmed storm drains. This layered approach handles approximately 6,000mm of rainfall annually - more than enough for Kent's weather patterns.
Having transformed dozens of driveways from Keston to Tatsfield over the past decade, our team understands TN16's specific ground conditions intimately. Local planning officers regularly recommend our work when homeowners need sustainable drainage solutions that complement Biggin Hill's mix of period properties and modern developments.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
Most Biggin Hill homeowners invest between £85-120 per square metre, depending on access difficulties and the existing surface removal requirements. A standard two-car driveway (40m²) usually ranges from £3,400-4,800 including full excavation and drainage connections.
Absolutely - our regular working area includes all of TN16 plus neighbouring Westerham, Tatsfield, and Keston. We're based locally, so whether you're near the airport or up towards Downe, we're never far away.
A typical residential permeable paving project in Biggin Hill takes 4-6 working days from breaking ground to driving on your new surface. Larger or more complex installations might extend to 7-8 days, particularly if we're dealing with significant level changes.
Every permeable driveway carries our comprehensive 10-year structural warranty, covering both the surface integrity and drainage performance. This includes annual inspections for the first two years to ensure the system continues managing water effectively through Kent's varied seasons.
Sloped driveways actually benefit tremendously from permeable systems. The sub-base can be designed with internal baffles to slow water movement, preventing it from simply running through to the lowest point. Many hillside properties find this completely eliminates their previous flooding issues.
