If you’re in BR4, we’ll help you achieve a smart finish without compromising flood prevention.
West Wickham has plenty of 1930s semis and detached homes alongside newer developments, each with different levels, thresholds and parking needs. We regularly work on front gardens with sloping approaches, shared crossovers and tight access. Whether you’re near Coney Hall or closer to Spring Park, we match the driveway build-up to the ground conditions and existing drainage. The result is a driveway that looks premium and performs in all seasons.
Our process starts with a site survey and drainage design, followed by a clear specification and itemised quotation. We excavate to the correct depths, install compliant sub-bases, and incorporate soakaway systems where required. Work is carried out by our own experienced team, with tidy working practices and careful protection of boundaries and services. Homeowners choose us for straightforward advice, reliable scheduling and workmanship backed by a 10-year warranty.

Costs vary with size, excavation depth, drainage requirements and finish. As a guide in West Wickham, permeable block paving often falls around £110–£160 per m², resin bound typically £120–£180 per m², and gravel grids about £70–£120 per m². Soakaways, drainage design and edging can add £800–£3,000+ depending on complexity. We provide a site-specific, itemised quote after a survey.
Most projects take 3–7 working days from excavation to final finish, depending on driveway size and the chosen surface. Resin bound installations can be quicker once the base is prepared, while permeable paving may take longer due to laying and detailing. Timescales are affected by access, removal of existing concrete, weather, and whether a soakaway system is needed. We confirm a realistic schedule before starting.
In many cases, front driveways are permitted development if the surface is permeable or water drains to a permeable area within your property, which is exactly what SuDS aims to achieve. However, rules can change with conservation considerations, boundary works, levels near the highway, or alterations to access and dropped kerbs. We review your layout, advise on compliance, and can recommend when to check with Bromley’s planning team.
We provide a 10-year warranty covering workmanship and installation-related issues, including settlement caused by inadequate sub-base preparation, edge restraint failures, and drainage performance linked to our design and build. Materials are also covered by manufacturer guarantees where applicable (for example, resin and paving products). The warranty doesn’t cover accidental damage, misuse, or lack of routine maintenance, but we’ll explain simple upkeep to protect your finish.
Popular options include permeable block paving in contemporary or traditional colours, resin bound surfaces with natural aggregates, and gravel grids for a countryside look with stable parking. We can add contrasting borders, step details, recessed drainage where needed, and integrated soakaways beneath planting or lawn areas. During the survey we discuss your parking needs, slope, and style of your home, then recommend a finish that suits both performance and appearance.
