Chelsea’s streets around King’s Road and SW3 demand driveways that are as elegant as they are practical. Our SuDS solutions reduce surface water run-off by allowing rain to drain through the surface and into the ground safely. From permeable block paving to resin bound systems, we design each build to suit your property and the public realm. The result is a driveway that helps prevent localised flooding while enhancing kerb appeal.
We regularly work across Chelsea, South Kensington and SW10, where access can be tight and finishes must match high-end architecture. Georgian townhouses and Victorian mansions often need sympathetic detailing, level thresholds and careful edging to protect original brickwork and railings. Luxury apartments and mews-style homes typically benefit from low-maintenance, clean-lined surfacing with discreet drainage. Our team plans layouts that maximise parking space without compromising permeability.
We start with a site survey, levels check and drainage design, then recommend the best SuDS build-up for your ground conditions. Installations are carried out by experienced crews with clear daily communication, protection for entrances and tidy waste management. Every driveway is laid to a specification that prioritises compaction, correct falls and long-term stability. Homeowners choose Fine Landscaping for reliable scheduling, premium workmanship and a 10-year warranty for peace of mind.

Costs in Chelsea vary with access, excavation depth and the chosen finish. As a guide, permeable block paving commonly starts around £120–£180 per m², while resin bound surfaces are often £110–£170 per m². Gravel grids can be £70–£120 per m², depending on specification. Soakaways, drainage design and reinstatement can add £1,200–£4,000+ to a project.
Most installations take 3–10 working days, depending on size, excavation requirements and curing times. A small front garden conversion with gravel grids may be completed in under a week, while permeable paving with edging, steps and a soakaway can take longer. Timescales are affected by access restrictions, spoil removal logistics, underground services and weather. We provide a clear programme before work begins and keep you updated daily.
Many front driveways are permitted development if the surface is permeable or drains to a permeable area within your boundary, which is why suds compliant driveways in Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea are a smart choice. However, permission may be needed for listed buildings, conservation areas, new or altered vehicle crossovers, or significant changes to boundary walls. We check the site constraints, advise on compliance, and can support drawings and specifications where required.
We provide a 10-year warranty covering workmanship and installation integrity, including sub-base preparation, compaction, levels and drainage performance as installed. The warranty is designed to protect against issues such as sinking caused by inadequate build-up or poor edge restraint. It doesn’t cover accidental damage, misuse, or problems caused by third-party alterations. We also advise on aftercare to keep permeable surfaces performing properly over time.
Popular options include permeable block paving in heritage tones, resin bound aggregates for a seamless finish, and gravel grids for a classic look with stable parking. We can incorporate contrasting borders, recessed manhole covers, subtle channel details and planting strips to maintain permeability. During design, we match colours and textures to brickwork and railings typical of Chelsea properties. We’ll recommend the best system based on drainage needs, maintenance preferences and budget.
