Kingston upon Thames combines busy streets, riverside routes and varied home styles, so driveway drainage needs to be properly thought through. We install permeable paving, resin bound surfaces and gravel grids that let water soak away rather than running into the road. Whether you’re close to Kingston Bridge or heading towards Surbiton, we tailor levels and falls to keep water where it belongs. The result is a driveway that looks premium and performs in heavy rain.
Local homes range from Victorian villas and Edwardian houses to modern waterfront apartments, each with different access and drainage constraints. In KT1 and KT2, we often work with narrow front gardens, shared crossovers and sloping approaches that need careful detailing. Our designs balance kerb appeal with SuDS performance, so you don’t have to compromise on style. If you’re renovating a period frontage, we can match materials and edging for a sympathetic finish.
We start with a site survey, then produce a drainage design showing permeable build-ups, soakaway sizing and discharge routes where required. You’ll receive a clear written quotation, a staged programme, and tidy working practices from start to finish. Every installation is built on the correct sub-base and geotextiles to prevent sinking and puddling. Homeowners choose us for consistent communication, high-end detailing, and reliable aftercare.
Across the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames we regularly encounter clay-heavy soils, mature tree roots and tight parking arrangements. We design sub-bases and soakaway systems to suit infiltration rates and available space, including solutions for sloping drives. Where access is restricted or deliveries need coordination, we plan logistics to minimise disruption. Our approach suits everything from period streets to newer developments near the river.

Costs vary with size, access and the SuDS solution required. As a guide, gravel grids often start around £80–£130 per m², permeable block paving is typically £120–£200 per m², and resin bound surfaces are commonly £110–£180 per m². Soakaway systems and drainage design can add roughly £800–£3,000 depending on depth, ground conditions and connections. We provide a detailed, itemised quote after a survey.
Most projects take 3–7 working days for an average driveway, including excavation, sub-base installation and the finished surface. Larger areas, complex levels, steps, or additional drainage features can extend this to 1–2 weeks. Timescales also depend on access for machinery, waste removal, and curing time for resin bound systems. We confirm a realistic programme before starting and keep you updated daily.
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 you’re in a conservation area, altering a crossover, or working near protected trees. We check the key requirements, advise on SuDS-compliant materials, and can help you prepare the information needed for any council queries. Compliance is built into the design from day one.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for our SuDS compliant driveway installations, covering issues such as settlement caused by incorrect sub-base build-up, poor levels leading to standing water, or edge restraint failure. Material warranties vary by manufacturer and product type, and we’ll explain what applies to your chosen surface. We also give maintenance guidance to protect permeability and appearance. Any snagging is handled promptly and professionally.
You can choose from permeable block paving in contemporary or heritage colours, resin bound surfaces for a seamless look, or gravel grids for a natural finish with strong stability. We can incorporate contrasting borders, soldier courses, recessed manhole covers and subtle drainage details. During the survey we assess levels, usage and parking needs, then recommend the best SuDS build-up. Samples and visual guidance help you select a finish that suits your property.
