Tolworth’s mix of busy roads and suburban streets makes driveway drainage more important than ever. Whether you’re near Tolworth Tower or heading towards Tolworth Broadway, we create driveways that manage surface water responsibly and keep your entrance usable in heavy rain. Our SuDS approach combines attractive materials with engineered drainage design. The result is a driveway that performs well and complements the property.
Homeowners in KT5 and KT6 often have 1930s semis with short front gardens, post-war houses with wider plots, and newer developments where parking is at a premium. We design layouts that maximise parking while maintaining clear access and safe falls away from the home. Edging, levels and thresholds are set carefully to suit existing paths, steps and garages. Each design is tailored so it looks intentional, not like an afterthought.
We start with a site survey, check levels and identify how water currently behaves during downpours. Then we recommend the right SuDS solution—permeable paving, resin bound surfaces, gravel grids, or a soakaway system—backed by proper sub-base build-ups. You’ll receive clear specifications, tidy workmanship and a schedule you can rely on. Local homeowners trust us because we communicate well, protect the site, and finish to a premium standard.
Across the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames, driveway rules and drainage expectations can vary by street and frontage layout. In Tolworth and nearby Surbiton, access can be tight and services often run close to boundaries, so we plan excavation and levels carefully. We also account for mixed ground conditions and ensure sub-bases are specified for long-term stability. If required, we help document suds compliant driveways in Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames to support approvals.

Costs vary with size, access and the SuDS solution chosen. As a guide, permeable block paving often starts around £110–£160 per m², resin bound surfaces around £90–£150 per m², and gravel grids around £60–£110 per m². Soakaway systems and additional drainage design can add £800–£2,500+. We provide a detailed, itemised quote after a site survey.
Most installations take 3–7 working days for a typical single or double driveway, including excavation, sub-base, edging and surfacing. Larger driveways or complex drainage design can take 1–2 weeks. Timescales depend on access for machinery, the amount of spoil removal, curing time for resin, and whether a soakaway system is required. We confirm a realistic schedule before starting.
Many front driveways are permitted development if the surface is permeable or drains to a suitable permeable area within your boundary. If you’re proposing non-permeable surfacing that runs to the highway drains, planning permission is usually required. There may also be extra considerations for unusual site constraints. We check the proposal against current guidance and can advise what evidence or drawings may be needed before work begins.
We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty on our driveway installations, covering issues caused by installation defects such as poor levels, unstable sub-base build-up, or edge restraint failures. Manufacturer warranties may also apply to specific products like resin systems or paving blocks. The warranty doesn’t cover accidental damage, heavy vehicle misuse beyond design load, or lack of routine maintenance. We explain care requirements at handover.
Popular options include permeable block paving in contemporary or traditional colours, resin bound surfaces for a smooth, modern look, and gravel grids for a natural finish with strong stabilisation. We can also integrate channel details, contrasting borders, and discreet soakaway systems where needed. We’ll help you choose based on your property style, parking needs and drainage performance—ideal for suds compliant driveways tolworth area projects.
