Pimlico’s elegant streets and garden squares deserve driveways that perform as well as they look. From near Tate Britain to routes around Pimlico tube station, we design surfaces that let water drain through rather than rushing into the road. Our SuDS approach combines permeable paving, resin bound finishes or gravel grids with robust drainage design. The result is a driveway that helps reduce surface water risk while keeping kerb appeal high in SW1.
We’re used to working with Pimlico’s Regency townhouses, mansion blocks and period conversions, where space can be tight and details matter. Many front gardens need careful levels, discreet drainage and clean edging to suit railings and steps. We also plan for shared access, basement lightwells and existing services commonly found in Westminster properties. If you’re comparing suds compliant driveways pimlico area options, we’ll guide you to the right build-up for your site.
Our process starts with a site survey, falls and levels check, and a clear recommendation on SuDS options and planning compliance. We protect surrounding paving and planting, keep the site tidy, and programme deliveries to minimise disruption on busy streets. Every installation is built to a written specification, with quality materials and proper compaction. Homeowners choose us for straightforward communication, reliable timeframes and workmanship backed by a 10-year warranty.
Access and parking can be challenging around Dolphin Square and St George's Square, so we plan logistics and waste removal carefully. We design falls to protect thresholds and lower-ground areas, and we account for existing utilities typical of older Westminster buildings. Where frontages are compact, gravel grids or resin bound systems can maximise usable space while staying permeable. If required, we provide documentation to support suds compliant driveways in City of Westminster discussions.

Costs vary by size, access and the SuDS solution chosen. As a guide in SW1, permeable block paving often starts around £120–£180 per m², resin bound surfaces around £140–£220 per m², and gravel grids around £80–£140 per m². Soakaway systems, excavation depth, waste removal and edging details can add to the total. We provide an itemised quote after a site survey.
Most projects take 3–7 working days from excavation to finish, depending on area and complexity. Resin bound installations may be quicker once the base is prepared, while permeable paving can take longer due to detailed laying and edging. Timescales are affected by access restrictions, skip permits, depth of dig, weather, and whether a soakaway or additional drainage design is required. We confirm a programme before work starts.
Often, front garden driveways are permitted development if the surface is permeable or drains to a permeable area within your boundary. However, rules can change with conservation considerations, listed buildings, dropped kerbs, and specific City of Westminster requirements. We check your site, advise on compliant materials and drainage routes, and can recommend when to seek formal confirmation. Our aim is a design that meets SuDS guidance from day one.
We provide a 10-year warranty covering installation workmanship, including base preparation, levels, compaction and structural integrity of the installed surface. It’s designed to give confidence that the driveway won’t fail due to poor construction. Materials may also carry manufacturer warranties, depending on product choice. The warranty doesn’t cover accidental damage, abuse, or issues caused by third-party works or unforeseen underground defects discovered after installation.
Popular choices include permeable block paving in heritage tones, resin bound stone in warm aggregates, and gravel grids for a classic look with strong stability. We can incorporate discreet edging, step details, lighting conduits and planting borders to suit period frontages. Drainage design may include soakaways or permeable sub-bases depending on ground conditions. We’ll show samples, explain maintenance, and help you choose a finish that suits your property and budget.
