Surface water rules matter across SW18, especially where hardstanding replaces front gardens. We design and install driveways that manage rainwater responsibly, helping reduce puddling and runoff. From near Southfields tube station to streets by Wimbledon Park, we create finishes that suit the local streetscape. Expect a driveway that performs in heavy downpours and still looks sharp year-round.
Southfields homes range from Victorian terraces and Edwardian houses to 1930s semis, each with different levels, thresholds and front garden sizes. We tailor falls, edging and drainage details so water moves away from your property, not towards it. If your existing drive sits below the damp-proof course or suffers from pooling, we’ll propose practical corrections. Our suds compliant driveways southfields area service is built around long-term performance, not quick fixes.
We start with a site survey, levels check and drainage plan, then recommend permeable options that meet SuDS guidance. Installations are carried out by our in-house team with tidy working practices and clear timelines. You’ll get written specifications, transparent materials choices and aftercare advice for your surface type. Local homeowners choose us for consistent workmanship, reliable communication and a 10-year warranty.
Access and parking can be tight around Southfields Grid, so we plan deliveries and waste removal carefully. Ground conditions vary, so we assess sub-base depth, compaction and infiltration before specifying a build-up. We also consider street gradients and how runoff behaves during intense rainfall. For suds compliant driveways in London Borough of Wandsworth, we design to suit local expectations while keeping your property protected.

Costs vary with size, excavation depth, access and the SuDS solution required. As a guide in Southfields, gravel grids often start around £90–£140 per m², permeable block paving is commonly £130–£220 per m², and resin bound surfaces are typically £120–£200 per m². Soakaways and additional drainage design can add £800–£2,500+ depending on capacity and ground conditions.
Most projects take 3–7 working days from excavation to finish, with larger driveways or complex drainage taking 1–2 weeks. Timescales depend on access (common on SW18 streets), the amount of spoil to remove, and whether we’re installing soakaways or regrading levels. Resin bound systems may need extra curing time, while permeable paving can be used sooner once compacted and jointed.
Many front driveways are permitted development if they use a permeable surface or drain to a permeable area within your boundary, which is why SuDS design is so important. However, rules can change with conservation areas, listed buildings, or if you’re altering levels near the highway. We check your site specifics, advise on compliant options, and can help prepare information if the council needs it.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for our driveway installations, covering issues such as settlement caused by incorrect sub-base preparation, drainage falls not performing as specified, and installation defects. Materials may also carry manufacturer warranties, depending on the product chosen. The warranty is valid when the driveway is used as intended and maintained properly, and we’ll explain the simple aftercare steps at handover.
Popular options include permeable block paving in contemporary or period styles, resin bound surfaces with natural aggregates, and gravel grids for a softer look with strong load support. We can also incorporate soakaway systems, channel details where needed, and edging that suits Victorian and Edwardian frontages. We’ll guide you through colours, patterns and practicalities, balancing kerb appeal with drainage performance and durability.
