Tooting’s heavy downpours can overwhelm older gullies and hardstanding, especially around Tooting Broadway and SW17 terraces. A SuDS-compliant driveway lets water drain through the surface rather than rushing into the street. We install permeable paving, resin bound systems and gravel grids that suit busy front gardens and narrow plots. The result is a smarter entrance that helps reduce surface water risk locally.
Our team is based just 15 minutes away, so we know the practicalities of working around Tooting Bec, Furzedown and the surrounding Victorian and Edwardian streets. Many homes here have small frontages, steps, bay windows and shared access paths that need careful setting-out. We design levels to protect air bricks and thresholds while keeping parking practical. These suds compliant driveways Tooting area are planned to complement period brickwork and traditional boundary walls.
We start with a site survey, measure falls, and agree a drainage plan before any digging begins. Sub-bases are built to specification, with clean aggregates and geotextiles where required, then finished with your chosen permeable surface. We keep the site tidy, communicate daily, and provide clear paperwork for materials and maintenance. Homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, neat edges, and long-lasting results backed by warranty.
Tooting streets often have restricted access, limited parking and tight working widths, so we plan deliveries and waste removal carefully. Ground conditions can vary from compacted made ground to clay, which affects soakaway design and sub-base depth. We also factor in tree roots near green spaces such as Tooting Bec Common when setting levels and excavation zones. Our suds compliant driveways in London Borough of Wandsworth are designed to meet local expectations while keeping your frontage practical.

Costs vary by size, excavation depth, access and finish. As a guide, permeable block paving often starts around £120–£180 per m², resin bound typically £90–£150 per m², and gravel grids from £60–£110 per m². If a soakaway system or more complex drainage design is needed, allow an additional £900–£3,000+. We’ll provide a detailed, itemised quote after a site survey.
Most installations take 3–7 working days for an average front driveway, depending on excavation, sub-base build-up and curing times. Resin bound surfaces can be quicker on straightforward sites, while permeable paving with edging, steps or retaining work may take longer. Timescales are also affected by access (skip and delivery positions), weather, and whether we’re installing a soakaway or rerouting downpipes. We’ll confirm a schedule before starting.
In many cases, front driveways are permitted development if the surface is permeable or drains to a permeable area within your property. That’s why SuDS solutions are so useful. However, rules can change if you’re in a conservation area, altering boundary walls, or making significant level changes near the highway. We check the relevant guidance, advise on planning compliance, and can help prepare drawings or details if an application is required.
We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty on our driveway installations, covering issues such as failed joints, edge movement and sub-base-related settlement (subject to proper use and maintenance). Manufacturer warranties also apply to specific products like resin systems or grid components. We’ll explain what’s covered, how to care for your surface, and what can void warranties (for example, heavy vehicles on a domestic build-up). Documentation is supplied on completion.
Popular options include permeable block paving in traditional or contemporary colours, resin bound gravel for a seamless finish, and gravel stabilisation grids for a classic look with better traction. We can also integrate soakaway systems, discreet drainage detailing, and edging that matches brickwork or stone sills. During design, we’ll discuss parking needs, bin access, planting space and kerb appeal, then recommend the best SuDS-compliant build-up for your site.
