Notting Hill’s busy streets and sudden downpours make surface-water management a real priority. We design and install driveways that drain correctly, helping reduce runoff towards gullies and basements. Whether you’re near Notting Hill Gate or coming off Ladbroke Grove, we’ll create a finish that suits the frontage and performs in heavy rain. Our solutions include permeable paving, resin bound surfacing, gravel grids and properly sized soakaways.
W11 is known for pastel-painted Victorian townhouses, mansion conversions and compact mews houses, often with limited frontage depth. That means every centimetre matters: levels, thresholds, bin stores and pedestrian access must all be planned carefully. We’re used to working around period details, railings and lightwells, keeping the look sympathetic while upgrading drainage performance. If you’re in Holland Park or Bayswater, we’ll tailor the design to your property’s character and access constraints.
We start with a site survey, check falls and existing drainage routes, then propose a SuDS-led design with material samples. Installation is handled by our in-house team with careful sub-base build-ups, edge restraints and clean detailing. You’ll get a written scope, staged payments, and photo updates as the job progresses. Homeowners choose us because we turn up when we say we will, keep sites orderly, and stand behind the finish with a 10-year warranty.
We regularly work across the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, where access, parking suspensions and waste removal need planning. Notting Hill’s mixed ground conditions and tight mews approaches demand accurate levels and robust sub-bases. We design drainage to cope with intense rainfall while respecting thresholds and neighbouring walls. If you’re near Portobello Road Market, we can schedule deliveries to avoid peak congestion.

Costs vary with size, excavation depth, access and finish. As a guide in Notting Hill, permeable block paving often starts around £120–£180 per m², resin bound around £90–£150 per m² (depending on base condition), and gravel grid systems around £60–£110 per m². Soakaways and drainage design can add roughly £800–£3,500+, depending on capacity and connections.
Most projects take 3–7 working days for typical frontages, including excavation, sub-base, edging and the finished surface. Larger areas, complex steps/thresholds, or additional drainage features can extend this to 1–2 weeks. Timescales also depend on access for skips and deliveries, weather, and whether we’re rebuilding the base from scratch. We confirm a programme after the site survey.
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 for listed buildings, conservation areas, and where alterations affect highway access or walls. We’ll advise on SuDS requirements, check RBKC guidance, and help you confirm whether an application is needed before work begins.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for our driveway installations, covering issues such as installation-related movement, edging failures and drainage performance linked to our build. Manufacturer guarantees may also apply to specific products (such as resin systems or paving). The warranty assumes normal domestic use and that basic maintenance is followed, like keeping permeable joints clear and avoiding oil spills.
Popular options include permeable block paving in heritage colours, resin bound stone in warm aggregates, and gravel grids for a softer, traditional look. We can combine materials for parking bays, paths and bin areas, and add channel details where needed. During design, we bring samples and recommend finishes that complement Victorian façades and mews settings. We also plan falls, thresholds and edging for a crisp, durable result.
