Driveways & Paving in Kingston upon Thames
In Kingston upon Thames we are most often asked for block paving and resin driveways. Conservation areas cover parts of Surbiton, Kingston's old town and Coombe, where private estate covenants may also apply. Inter-war houses usually have straightforward permitted development options, but a new vehicle crossover still needs council approval.
Driveways & Paving in Kingston upon Thames
A front that does the house justice.
A driveway fails from underneath. We dig out to the right depth, lay and compact a proper sub-base, sort the drainage, and only then lay the surface you actually see. That is why ours stay flat.
- Block pavingHerringbone and stretcher-bond driveways with contrasting borders, cut neatly around drains and steps.
- Resin-bound surfacingSmooth, permeable, low-maintenance surfaces in a wide range of stone blends.

FAQ
Driveways & Paving in Kingston upon Thames
Not answered here? Call 07595 386864 and ask us directly.
Do you carry out driveways & paving in Kingston upon Thames?
Yes. We work across Kingston upon Thames, including Kingston, Surbiton, New Malden, Tolworth and Chessington.
Do I need planning permission for a new driveway?
Not if the surface is permeable, or if rainwater drains to a border or soakaway within your property. Paving more than five square metres of front garden with a non-permeable surface that drains to the road does need planning permission. We design the drainage so you stay on the right side of the rule.
Do I need a dropped kerb?
Yes, if you will be driving over the pavement to reach the drive. The council carries out or licenses the kerb work. We can advise on the application and build the drive to meet it.
How long does a driveway take?
Most domestic driveways take three to six working days, depending on size, excavation and weather.
