Soho’s streets around Carnaby Street and Soho Square demand driveway solutions that cope with intense rainfall and tight urban plots. Our SuDS-compliant systems let water drain through the surface and into the ground, reducing runoff into overworked sewers. We design each build to suit W1 access constraints and the look of surrounding façades. The result is a premium driveway that performs quietly in the background, even during sudden storms.
We regularly work on Georgian townhouses, mansion flats and commercial conversions where levels, thresholds and basement lightwells can complicate drainage. In the Soho area, frontages are often compact, with limited space for falls and traditional channel drains. We specify permeable paving, resin bound or gravel grids to suit the architecture and day-to-day use. Every design balances kerb appeal with practical water management.
We start with a site survey, measure levels, and map where water currently runs during heavy rain. Then we propose a drainage design with permeable sub-bases and, where needed, soakaway systems sized to the plot. Our team works to a clear schedule, keeps neighbours informed, and leaves the site clean each day. Homeowners choose us for suds compliant driveways in City of Westminster because we combine finish quality with compliance-first detailing.
Soho properties often have restricted access, controlled parking, and narrow pavements that affect deliveries and waste removal. We plan logistics around City of Westminster rules and schedule key stages to minimise disruption. Ground conditions can vary due to historic basements and mixed subsoils, so we design sub-bases and soakaways to suit. Finishes are chosen to complement period brickwork and modern conversions alike.

Costs in Soho vary with access, excavation depth, and the SuDS build-up required. As a guide, gravel grids often start around £90–£140 per m², permeable block paving is typically £140–£220 per m², and resin bound surfaces are usually £120–£200 per m². Soakaways, level adjustments and drainage design can add £800–£3,000+ depending on complexity and testing.
Most SuDS driveway installations take 3–7 working days for a small to medium frontage, assuming straightforward excavation and access. Larger areas or complex level changes can take 1–2 weeks. Timescales depend on waste removal logistics in W1, curing time for resin, and whether a soakaway system or additional drainage design is required. We provide a staged programme before starting.
Many front garden driveways are permitted development if the surface is permeable or drains to a permeable area within your property. However, City of Westminster has strict controls, and listed buildings or conservation considerations can change what’s allowed. We check the site constraints, advise on SuDS-compliant materials, and can help you confirm requirements before work begins so you avoid compliance issues later.
We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty on our SuDS compliant driveway installations. This covers defects related to installation, such as sub-base preparation, bedding, and drainage performance as specified in the agreed design. Materials may also carry manufacturer warranties, depending on the product chosen. We’ll explain what’s covered, how to maintain the surface, and what to do if you ever need support.
Popular options include permeable block paving for a classic look, resin bound surfaces for a seamless premium finish, and gravel grids for a natural, low-maintenance appearance. We can also incorporate soakaway systems, subtle edging, and drainage design that works with existing thresholds and steps. We’ll guide you through colours, aggregate blends, patterns and slip resistance to suit your property and daily parking needs.
