Those heavy Kent downpours flooding your drive again? Permeable paving transforms waterlogged surfaces into naturally draining spaces that work with Sevenoaks' clay-heavy soil.
Response within 24 hours
Traditional tarmac struggles on the sloping driveways common around Kemsing and Otford. Water pools, creates slippery patches, and eventually damages the surface. Modern permeable systems channel rainwater straight through to the ground beneath, preventing those frustrating puddles that appear every autumn.
Installation begins by excavating to the correct depth - crucial given the varied ground conditions between Dunton Green's sandy patches and central Sevenoaks' heavier clay. A carefully graded sub-base creates the drainage reservoir, topped with your choice of permeable blocks, resin-bound gravel, or porous concrete. Each material offers different aesthetics to complement period properties or contemporary builds.
Twenty years handling Sevenoaks' unique drainage challenges means understanding which solutions actually work long-term. Local knowledge matters when dealing with everything from Victorian villa forecourts to modern estate specifications.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
Standard driveways in TN14 typically range £85-120 per square metre, depending on access and existing surface removal. Larger rural properties near Kemsing might see lower rates due to easier machinery access.
Absolutely - from Otford's conservation areas to new developments in TN15, including all surrounding villages. Recent projects span Dunton Green station car parks to private homes across TN13.
Most residential driveways take 4-7 days including groundwork. Larger properties around rural TN15 might need an extra few days for additional drainage connections.
Every installation carries decade-long protection covering both the surface integrity and drainage performance - essential given Sevenoaks' weather patterns and ground movement concerns.
Gradient poses no issue - permeable systems actually perform better on slopes as water disperses more effectively. The sub-base design prevents the washout problems that plague traditional gravel drives on hills.
