Heavy rain can quickly overwhelm older driveway drainage, especially around busy routes near Sidcup High Street and greener pockets like Foots Cray Meadows. Our SuDS compliant solutions let water soak through the surface instead of running into the street. That means fewer puddles, less splashback on walls, and a cleaner entrance all year. We design each driveway to suit your plot, levels and access.
Sidcup has a mix of 1930s semis, Victorian houses and modern developments across DA14 and DA15, and each needs a different approach. Wider front gardens often suit permeable block paving or resin bound systems, while tighter plots may benefit from gravel grids and carefully placed soakaways. We also consider practical details such as bin access, turning space and safe gradients. The result is a driveway that fits the property rather than fighting it.
We start with a site survey, check falls and existing drainage, then propose a SuDS-ready build-up designed to perform. Our team handles excavation, sub-base installation, edge restraints, and drainage design with tidy, well-managed workmanship. You’ll get clear specifications, straightforward timelines and a finish that’s built to last. Homeowners choose us for reliable communication, neat sites and consistent quality from start to handover.
Across the London Borough of Bexley, we regularly see mixed ground conditions and older drainage layouts that need careful design. In Sidcup, access can be tight on residential streets, so we plan deliveries, parking and waste removal to minimise disruption. We set correct falls away from the property and specify sub-bases that support permeable performance. If your home is near Queen Mary’s Hospital or close to busier roads, we also factor in durability and easy maintenance.

Costs vary by size, excavation depth, access and the surface you choose. As a guide, permeable block paving often starts around £90–£140 per m², resin bound typically £80–£130 per m², and gravel grid systems can be £45–£85 per m². Soakaways and extra drainage design can add £800–£2,500+ depending on requirements. We provide a detailed, itemised quote after a site survey.
Most installations take 3–7 working days for an average driveway, depending on excavation, waste removal and the chosen finish. Resin bound can be quicker once the base is prepared, while permeable paving may take longer due to laying and cutting. Timescales also change with access constraints, steps or retaining edges, and whether a soakaway is needed. We confirm a realistic programme before work starts.
