Earl’s Court streets see intense rainfall and hard landscaping can quickly push water towards the road. Our suds compliant driveways earl's court area use permeable paving, resin bound surfaces or gravel grids to let water drain through safely. We design the right build-up and drainage so your driveway works as well as it looks. Projects are regularly carried out around Earl’s Court tube station and SW5 properties.
The local housing mix includes Victorian mansion conversions, period flats and garden square properties, often with tight front gardens and shared access. We’re used to protecting original brickwork, railings and thresholds while improving levels and falls. In nearby Kensington and West Brompton, we often replace impermeable concrete with permeable systems that meet current guidance. Finishes are chosen to complement Victorian architecture rather than fight it.
We start with a site survey, check existing drainage routes, and propose a SuDS design that suits your plot and usage. If a soakaway system is needed, we size it correctly and build it with the right geotextiles and sub-base. Our installation is tidy, scheduled to minimise disruption, and backed by clear written specifications. Homeowners choose us for straightforward advice, compliant detailing and a premium finish that lasts.
Access and parking can be challenging around Philbeach Gardens and the former Earl’s Court Exhibition Centre site, so we plan deliveries and waste removal carefully. Many frontages are small, with steps, lightwells or shared paths that require precise levels and neat edging. We design suds compliant driveways in Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea to handle runoff without sending water onto pavements or neighbouring plots. Where ground conditions limit infiltration, we incorporate attenuation and controlled discharge solutions.

Costs vary by size, access, and the SuDS build-up required. As a guide, permeable block paving often starts around £120–£180 per m² installed, resin bound is commonly £90–£150 per m², and gravel grids can be £60–£110 per m². If a soakaway system or additional drainage design is needed, allow roughly £800–£2,500+ depending on excavation depth and capacity.
Most installations take 3–7 working days for a typical front driveway, including excavation, sub-base, and the permeable surface. Resin bound systems may need extra curing time before vehicle use, while block paving can be used sooner once compacted. Timescales depend on access in SW5, waste removal logistics, weather, and whether we’re adding a soakaway, new edging, steps, or regrading to correct falls.
In many cases, front garden driveways are permitted development if the surface is permeable or drains to a permeable area within your boundary. However, rules can change if your property is listed, in a conservation area, or if alterations affect a highway crossover. We’ll advise on compliant options, provide drainage design details, and help you understand any council requirements before work starts, so there are no surprises.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for our SuDS compliant driveway installations, covering issues such as settlement caused by incorrect sub-base construction, edge restraint failures, and defects linked to installation quality. Manufacturer warranties may also apply to specific products like resin systems or paving blocks. The warranty assumes normal domestic use and appropriate maintenance, and we’ll explain care guidance to keep the surface performing well.
Popular options include permeable block paving in sympathetic Victorian tones, resin bound surfaces with natural aggregates, and gravel grids for a softer, garden-square look. We can add granite setts, contrasting borders, and discreet channel details where needed, while keeping the system permeable. During the survey we’ll discuss parking needs, bin access and thresholds, then recommend a layout and drainage approach that suits your property and budget.
