Coulsdon’s mix of sloping roads and open downland near Farthing Downs can make surface water management a real concern. Our SuDS driveway solutions are designed to soak rainwater safely into the ground rather than pushing it towards the highway. We install permeable paving, resin bound surfaces and gravel grid systems that keep puddles to a minimum. The result is a smarter driveway that looks sharp and performs in wet weather.
We regularly work across CR5, including Old Coulsdon and Chipstead Valley, where properties range from large detached homes to well-loved 1930s houses and newer developments. Each style benefits from a driveway that complements the frontage while handling runoff properly. We can match existing brickwork, add clean edging lines, or create a contemporary resin finish for modern builds. Designs are tailored to parking needs, turning space and safe access.
We start with a site survey, levels check and drainage assessment, then propose a SuDS-friendly design with clear itemised costs. Installation includes correct sub-base build-up, falls, and infiltration features such as soakaway systems where required. You’ll get straightforward communication, respectful on-site working and a thorough handover with care advice. Homeowners choose us for dependable workmanship backed by a 10-year warranty.
The Coulsdon area includes chalky downland and varied ground conditions, so infiltration rates can differ street by street. We assess levels, soil and existing drainage before recommending permeable build-ups or soakaway placement. Access and parking can be tight on some CR5 roads, so we plan deliveries and phasing to keep disruption down. We also consider requirements for suds compliant driveways in London Borough of Croydon when finalising the design.

Costs vary by size, excavation depth, access and chosen finish. As a guide, gravel grids often start from around £70–£110 per m², permeable block paving typically ranges £110–£170 per m², and resin bound surfaces are commonly £120–£190 per m². If a soakaway system or additional drainage design is needed, allow extra. We provide a detailed survey and itemised quote before work begins.
Most installations take around 3–7 working days for a typical single to double driveway, depending on excavation, sub-base depth and edging details. Resin bound systems may need additional curing time, while permeable block paving is often quicker once the base is prepared. Timescales can extend if ground conditions are poor, levels are complex, or you’re adding steps, walls or extra landscaping. We confirm a schedule after the site survey.
In many cases, a new or replaced driveway is permitted development if it uses a permeable surface or directs water to a permeable area within your boundary. However, rules can change for listed buildings, flats, or where there are restrictions such as conservation considerations. We check your site layout, proposed materials and drainage route, and advise on compliance. If an application is needed, we can support with the required details.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for SuDS driveway installations, covering issues such as settlement caused by incorrect sub-base preparation, edging movement, and drainage performance related to our build. Materials may also carry manufacturer guarantees, depending on the product selected. The warranty assumes normal domestic use and basic maintenance, such as keeping permeable joints clear of silt. We explain what’s covered in writing at handover.
Popular choices include permeable block paving in contemporary or traditional colours, resin bound stone blends for a seamless finish, and gravel grid systems for a more natural look. We can add contrasting borders, kerb edging, recessed manhole covers, and gentle gradients to suit your parking layout. For suds compliant driveways coulsdon area, we’ll recommend options based on infiltration, shade from trees, and how you use the space. Samples and visual guidance help you choose confidently.
