Heavy downpours can overwhelm older driveway drainage, especially around Banstead High Street and the SM7 streets that feed towards local low points. Our SuDS solutions let water soak through the surface and disperse safely on your plot. We install permeable paving, resin bound systems and gravel grids with the right sub-base build-up. The result is a smart driveway that helps prevent puddling and runoff.
Banstead’s mix of large detached houses, executive homes and well-kept 1930s properties often comes with wide frontages and sloping drives. That makes surface choice and falls critical, particularly in Nork and Burgh Heath where access and parking need careful planning. We tailor the design to your vehicle use, turning circle and bin storage, not a one-size layout. Finishes are chosen to suit brickwork, render and boundary walls common across the area.
We start with a site survey, levels check and drainage assessment, then propose a SuDS-ready design with clear itemised options. Our team handles excavation, sub-base, edging, permeable layers and soakaway systems where required, keeping the site tidy and safe throughout. You’ll get straightforward advice on planning compliance and documentation if needed. Homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, premium workmanship and a 10-year warranty.
Across Reigate and Banstead Borough, we often see clay-heavy ground and compacted front gardens that struggle to absorb water quickly. We design falls, sub-base depth and soakaway placement to suit site levels, existing services and driveway gradients near places like Banstead Downs and Tattenham Corner. Where parking is tight, we phase works to keep access where possible. If council guidance applies, we align the specification so your driveway remains SuDS compliant.

Costs vary by size, excavation depth and finish. As a guide, permeable block paving is often £110–£170 per m², resin bound typically £90–£150 per m², and gravel grids around £60–£110 per m². Soakaways and drainage design can add roughly £800–£3,000+ depending on capacity, access and ground conditions. We provide a site-specific, itemised quote after a survey.
Most projects take 3–10 working days, depending on driveway size, excavation requirements and the surface chosen. Resin bound can be quicker once the base is prepared, while permeable paving is more labour-intensive. Timescales are affected by access for machinery, removal of spoil, weather, and whether a soakaway system or additional drainage channels are needed. We agree a programme in advance and keep you updated daily.
In many cases, a new or replacement driveway is permitted development if it uses a permeable surface or directs water to a permeable area within your boundary. Rules can change for listed buildings, conservation considerations, or if you’re altering levels near the highway. We check the SuDS requirements, advise on compliant materials and drainage routes, and can help you gather details if an application or confirmation is sensible.
We provide a 10-year warranty covering workmanship and installation-related defects, including issues such as settlement caused by incorrect sub-base preparation or failure of installed edging and drainage components. The warranty applies when the driveway is used as intended and maintained sensibly (for example, keeping permeable joints clear and avoiding harsh chemical spills). We also explain aftercare for resin bound, paving and gravel grid systems.
Popular options include permeable block paving in contemporary or tumbled styles, resin bound surfaces in natural aggregates, and gravel grids for a traditional look with strong stability. We can incorporate contrasting borders, step details, recessed manhole covers and gentle falls that suit your frontage. During the survey we discuss colour, texture, slip resistance and maintenance, then recommend the best SuDS solution for your layout and budget in the suds compliant driveways banstead area.
