Around Paddington station and Paddington Basin, heavy rainfall can overwhelm traditional hardstanding and send water straight to the drains. Our SuDS solutions keep water on your plot using permeable paving, resin bound surfaces or gravel grids. We plan falls, edges and sub-bases to suit W2 properties and busy streets. The result is a smarter driveway that helps reduce local surface-water risk.
Paddington’s mix of stucco townhouses, mansion flats and modern apartments often comes with small front gardens, lightwells and tight access. In Bayswater and Marylebone, we regularly replace tired paving with permeable systems that respect period façades and railings. Near Little Venice and Maida Vale, we also consider nearby canal-side conditions and higher groundwater sensitivity. Every design balances kerb appeal with practical drainage performance.
We start with a site survey, levels check and drainage design, then recommend the best SuDS build-up for your budget. Our team manages waste removal, tidy working practices and clear communication from day one. You’ll get a written specification, transparent options, and workmanship backed by a 10-year warranty. Homeowners choose us for consistent finishes and solutions that pass common-sense scrutiny if queried by the council.
City of Westminster streets can mean controlled parking, restricted loading times and narrow access, so we plan deliveries and waste collection carefully. We frequently work on W2 frontages where levels, steps and lightwells demand accurate falls and discreet drainage details. Ground conditions vary, so we size sub-bases and soakaways to suit infiltration and available space. If you need suds compliant driveways paddington area solutions, we tailor materials to match stucco façades and contemporary blocks alike.

Costs vary with access, excavation depth and the SuDS system required. As a guide in Paddington, permeable block paving often starts around £120–£180 per m², resin bound surfaces typically £90–£150 per m², and gravel grids around £60–£110 per m². Soakaways, channel details and edge restraints can add £800–£3,000+ depending on size and complexity.
Most projects take 3–7 working days from excavation to finished surface, depending on driveway size and the chosen finish. Resin bound installations can be quicker once the base is prepared, while permeable block paving may take longer due to laying patterns and edging. Timescales are affected by access near busy roads, waste removal logistics, and whether we’re adding soakaways or regrading levels.
Many front garden driveway works are permitted development when you use a permeable surface or direct runoff to a suitable permeable area within your boundary. However, rules can change with listed buildings, conservation areas, and alterations to dropped kerbs or boundary walls. We check your site specifics, advise on compliant drainage design, and can help you understand what City of Westminster may require before work starts.
We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty on our SuDS compliant driveway installations. This covers issues caused by installation defects such as poor levels, unstable sub-base preparation, or edge restraint failures, subject to normal use and maintenance. Manufacturer warranties may also apply to specific products like resin systems or paving blocks. We’ll explain what’s covered, what’s excluded, and how to keep your surface performing well.
Popular options include permeable block paving in classic or contemporary colours, resin bound gravel for a smooth, modern finish, and gravel stabilisation grids for a traditional look with better stability. We can also integrate soakaway systems, discreet drainage details and planting strips to boost environmental benefits. We’ll help you choose based on your property style, slip resistance needs, maintenance preferences and how much runoff control is required.
