This company turned up on time and date when scheduled from survey to the day of completion. Kerian and his team were faultless at every stage of the project. The overall cost was very competitive and their performance was outstanding.

You hear bad things about dodgy workman and sub standard works. Fear not with this company. I researched thoroughly, got my facts straight and Kieran answered all the very difficult questions. Nothing was any trouble.

Kieron and his staff are superb. After having my driveway damaged by a delivery driver, he went far beyond my expectations. From start to finish it was a very professional job. My finished driveway is far better than my original one.

The Invisible Work That Protects Your Investment

Drainage and sub base construction happen out of sight, yet they determine whether a finished surface thrives or fails. A properly graded sub base absorbs load and resists settlement. A well-designed drainage system keeps water moving in the right direction. Kent Resin Driveways delivers both as a combined service, ensuring the infrastructure beneath your driveway or patio is engineered for the long term.

We support homeowners and property managers in Maidstone, Tonbridge, Headcorn, Staplehurst, East Malling and across Kent. Whether the project is a new build or a retrofit, we tailor the drainage and base specification to your site.

The Importance of Water Management

Surface water causes real damage when it is not controlled. Flooded driveways, saturated patios and water tracking towards foundations all become increasingly common as Kent's clay soils meet heavier rainfall events. Current planning rules require new hard surfaces to manage water on site rather than discharging it into the public sewer network.

SUDS — Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems — provide the framework for compliance. The principle is straightforward: slow rainfall down, allow it to infiltrate the ground and reduce the burden on piped drainage. We design and install SUDS schemes that satisfy these requirements and keep your property dry.

Drainage Options We Install

Every site presents different challenges, so we select from a range of proven solutions:

  • Permeable resin bound surfaces that absorb rainfall at source
  • Slot and channel drains positioned along thresholds, edges and low points
  • Below-ground soakaways sized to handle peak storm volumes
  • French drains and perforated land drain runs to intercept ground water
  • Precisely graded surface falls directing flow away from buildings

We survey your site, analyse soil permeability and specify the combination of solutions that delivers reliable water management within your budget.

Sub Base Specification

The sub base occupies the zone between natural ground and the finished surface. Built from compacted type 1 MOT aggregate at depths of 100mm to 200mm for domestic work, it distributes load, stabilises the surface layer and collaborates with the drainage system to move water downward.

We excavate to formation level, remove organic topsoil and any soft or waterlogged material, then lay the aggregate in measured lifts. Each lift is compacted with vibrating plate equipment. A laser level verifies that falls are accurate and the surface plane is flat. This methodical process produces a base you can trust for decades.

Get the Groundwork Right

If a new driveway, patio or path is on your agenda, the drainage and sub base must be specified correctly from day one. Phone Kent Resin Driveways on 07914 758684 or use our contact form.

Drainage and Sub Base Installation FAQs

What does SUDS compliant drainage involve?

SUDS — Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems — manage rainwater on your property through permeable surfaces, soakaways and infiltration trenches rather than piping it into the public sewer.

Does a resin bound driveway still need drainage?

Resin bound is permeable and handles most rainfall. However, we still install edge channels and soakaways where volumes or ground conditions demand additional capacity.

What sub base depth is standard for a domestic driveway?

We typically specify 100mm to 200mm of compacted type 1 MOT, adjusted according to existing ground conditions and the expected traffic loading.

Can you retrofit drainage to an existing driveway?

Yes. We regularly add channel drains, soakaways and land drains to existing driveways and patios that suffer from poor water management.
