Dartford’s mix of heavy traffic routes and changing weather makes surface-water control a real priority. Our driveways are designed to let water soak through safely rather than run into the street or overwhelm gullies. Whether you’re near Central Park or commuting via the Dartford Crossing, we build practical parking that stays usable in downpours. Expect a clean finish, tidy edges and drainage that actually works.
We regularly work across Victorian terraces, 1930s semis and newer developments in Wilmington, Stone and Greenhithe. Older homes often need careful falls and thresholds to keep water away from bay windows and air bricks. New-build plots can have tight access and strict site drainage expectations. We tailor the build-up, sub-base and permeable layers to suit each property type and driveway size.
Our process starts with a site survey, levels check and drainage design, then we recommend the best SuDS approach for your budget. We protect paving lines, keep access as practical as possible, and leave the site clean each day. Every installation is built to a specification, not guesswork, with clear communication from start to finish. Homeowners choose us for consistent workmanship and compliant outcomes that stand up to real Dartford weather.
In the suds compliant driveways Dartford area, we often see mixed ground conditions and older drainage runs that need careful mapping. Parking and access can be tight on terrace streets, so we plan deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption. We also factor in local authority expectations for permeable surfacing and runoff control. From DA1 to DA2, we set correct falls and sub-bases to suit each plot.

Costs vary by size, excavation depth and the SuDS solution chosen. 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 £45–£85 per m². Soakaways and drainage design may add £800–£3,000+ depending on testing, depth and access. We provide a detailed, itemised quote after a survey.
Most installations take 3–7 working days for an average driveway, assuming straightforward access and dry weather. Larger plots, complex drainage design, or additional features like soakaways, edging and steps can extend this to 1–2 weeks. Timescales also depend on excavation depth, disposal logistics, and curing time for resin bound surfaces. We confirm a realistic programme before starting and keep you updated daily.
In many cases, driveway works are permitted development if you use a permeable surface or direct runoff to a suitable permeable area within your boundary. Planning permission may be needed where non-permeable surfacing is proposed, drainage would discharge to the highway, or if your property is listed or in a restricted area. We check the rules, advise on compliant options, and design the build to meet SuDS expectations for Dartford Borough.
We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty on our SuDS driveway installations, covering issues caused by installation defects such as poor levels, unstable sub-base build-up, or edge restraint failures. Materials are also covered by manufacturer warranties where applicable (for example, resin systems or paving products). The warranty doesn’t cover accidental damage, oil spills, or neglect such as blocked permeable joints. We explain care requirements clearly at handover.
Popular options include permeable block paving (with a wide choice of colours and laying patterns), resin bound surfaces for a smooth, modern look, and gravel grids for a natural finish with strong wheel support. We can also incorporate soakaway systems, channel-free drainage design, and neat edging in kerb stone or contrasting blocks. We help you choose based on parking needs, maintenance preferences, and the style of your home.
