Response within 24 hours
Croydon gets heavy downpours, and blocked gullies or poor falls can quickly lead to standing water on driveways. We design and build SuDS-compliant surfaces that let rain soak through safely instead of running into the street. From Addiscombe to South Croydon, we create practical driveways that look sharp and perform year-round. We’re regularly working near East Croydon station and around CR0 and CR2 homes.
The London Borough of Croydon has a mix of Victorian terraces, 1930s semis and modern developments, often with tight front gardens and shared access. We plan layouts that maximise parking without compromising drainage performance. Whether you need a smart resin bound finish for a modern plot or permeable block paving to suit a period frontage, we match materials to the property style. Edging, levels and thresholds are set to protect walls, air bricks and entrances.
Our process starts with a site survey, levels check and drainage assessment, then a clear proposal with options. We build the correct permeable sub-base, install soakaway systems where required, and finish with crisp detailing. Work is scheduled to minimise disruption and keep access safe and tidy. Local homeowners choose us for straightforward communication, consistent workmanship, and a 10-year warranty on our installations.
Croydon’s varied ground conditions and slopes mean falls and sub-base design matter. We often work around on-street parking constraints in areas like Waddon and Shirley, planning deliveries and waste removal carefully. For suds compliant driveways in London Borough of Croydon, we factor in existing drainage routes, thresholds and nearby trees. We’ll also advise on council expectations and documentation where needed.

Costs vary with size, access and the drainage solution required. As a guide, permeable block paving often starts around £90–£140 per m², resin bound typically £80–£130 per m², and gravel grids can be £50–£90 per m². Soakaway systems and drainage design may add £800–£2,500+ depending on excavation depth and ground conditions. We provide a detailed, itemised quotation after a site survey.
Most driveway installations take 3–7 working days, depending on area, excavation depth and the chosen finish. A small front drive with gravel grids can be quicker, while permeable block paving or resin bound with new edging and steps can take longer. Timescales are affected by access for machinery, removal of existing concrete, and whether a soakaway is needed. We confirm a schedule before starting and keep you updated daily.
In many cases, front garden driveways are permitted development if the surface is permeable or water drains to a permeable area within your boundary. SuDS-compliant materials such as permeable paving, resin bound or gravel systems usually meet this requirement. However, rules can change with conservation areas, listed buildings, or if levels are altered significantly. We check your site, advise on compliance, and can support any application if permission is required.
We provide a 10-year warranty covering workmanship and installation integrity, including correct sub-base build-up, falls and drainage performance as specified. This includes issues such as settlement caused by inadequate preparation or edging failure due to poor installation. Normal wear, accidental damage, and problems caused by third-party alterations are excluded. We also pass on relevant manufacturer guarantees for materials where available and give clear care guidance to protect your finish.
Popular options include permeable block paving in contemporary or traditional colours, resin bound surfaces for a smooth, modern look, and gravel grids for a cost-effective, stable finish. We can incorporate contrasting edgings, recessed manhole covers, and subtle falls to direct water into a soakaway system. We’ll help you choose based on parking needs, slip resistance, maintenance preferences and how the design suits your home’s style. Samples and layout drawings are available.
