Streatham’s mix of busy streets and leafy pockets means driveway drainage matters, especially after heavy downpours. We build SuDS compliant driveways that let water soak through the surface rather than rushing into the drains. Whether you’re near Streatham High Road or close to Streatham Common, we’ll create a practical, attractive entrance that stays usable year-round. Our solutions combine surface choice, falls and soakaway design for reliable performance.
Across Streatham Hill, Streatham Common and Streatham Vale, we regularly work on Victorian and Edwardian houses, mansion flats and modern apartments with shared access. Many front gardens are compact, with steps, bay windows and narrow side passages that affect how materials are brought in and waste is removed. We design to suit period features and boundary lines, keeping kerb appeal high while meeting drainage requirements. If you’re in SW16 or SW2, we’ll recommend the best SuDS approach for your plot and parking needs.
Our process starts with a site survey, levels check and a clear drainage plan, then we propose permeable paving, resin bound surfaces or gravel grids with the right sub-base build-up. We protect your property, keep the site tidy, and communicate timings so you know what’s happening each day. Homeowners choose us for dependable workmanship, honest guidance and finishes that last. Every installation is backed by our 10-year warranty for peace of mind.
We understand the practical constraints of the London Borough of Lambeth, including crossovers, on-street parking pressures and tight access to front gardens. Ground conditions and existing levels vary widely around Streatham Park and the roads near Rookery Gardens, so we design sub-bases and soakaways to suit. For properties with basements or raised thresholds, we pay close attention to falls and finished heights. If you’re searching for suds compliant driveways in London Borough of Lambeth, we’ll handle the details from survey to sign-off.

Costs vary by size, access and the SuDS build-up required. As a guide, permeable block paving often starts around £120–£180 per m², resin bound surfaces typically £90–£150 per m², and gravel grid systems about £60–£110 per m². Soakaways, kerbs, excavation depth and waste removal can add to the total. We provide a detailed, itemised quote after a site visit.
Most driveway projects take 3–7 working days once we start on site, depending on area, excavation depth and the chosen surface. Resin bound can be quicker on straightforward jobs, while permeable paving may take longer due to edge restraints and careful laying. Timescales are also affected by access in SW16/SW2, weather, and whether a soakaway system or drainage redesign is needed. We agree a schedule before work begins.
In many cases, front driveways are permitted development if the surface is permeable or drains to a permeable area within your property. However, rules can change for listed buildings, conservation areas, new crossovers, or where levels and boundaries are altered. We check your specific situation, advise on SuDS-compliant options, and can help with drawings and documentation if the council needs them. This is why homeowners choose suds compliant driveways streatham area specialists.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for our driveway installations, covering issues such as settlement caused by incorrect sub-base construction, edging failures and drainage performance related to our design and build. Materials may also carry manufacturer warranties, depending on the product chosen. We’ll explain what’s covered in writing, along with maintenance guidance to keep resin, blocks or gravel grids performing as intended over time.
Popular options include permeable block paving in traditional colours for Victorian frontages, resin bound stone blends for a clean, modern finish, and gravel grids for a natural look with strong stability. We can also incorporate soakaway systems, channel details where appropriate, and neat edging to frame planting. After assessing levels and usage, we’ll recommend a layout, colour palette and surface type that suits your property and meets SuDS requirements.
