Addiscombe’s mix of front gardens and short driveways often struggles with surface water after downpours. Our permeable solutions let rain drain through the surface into a prepared sub-base, reducing runoff and standing water. We regularly work near Addiscombe tram stop and around Ashburton Park, tailoring layouts to real-world parking and access needs. The result is a driveway or patio that performs well and looks sharp year-round.
Homes in the CR0 area range from Victorian terraces to Edwardian houses and 1930s semis, each with different levels, thresholds and garden proportions. We design permeable paving that complements period brickwork and traditional paths, while still meeting modern drainage expectations. For narrower plots, we plan turning space and edging details carefully. If you’re comparing options for permeable paving Addiscombe area properties, we’ll recommend the most practical surface for your usage.
We start with a site survey, levels check and drainage plan, then propose materials, patterns and a build-up designed for permeability. Our team excavates, installs a free-draining sub-base, integrates drainage where required, and finishes with crisp edges and tidy transitions to the pavement and garden. You’ll get clear written specifications, a clean site at the end of each day, and workmanship backed by our 10-year warranty. Local homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, neat finishing, and surfaces that keep working in bad weather.
Addiscombe streets can mean tight access, controlled parking and quick turnarounds, especially near East Croydon and Woodside routes. We plan deliveries, waste removal and working hours to minimise disruption. Ground conditions vary, so we set levels carefully to protect thresholds and prevent water tracking towards the house. If needed, we integrate drainage details to align with expectations for permeable paving in London Borough of Croydon projects.

Costs vary by surface type, excavation depth and access. As a guide, permeable block paving often starts around £120–£180 per m², while resin bound systems are commonly £90–£150 per m² depending on preparation. Gravel or grass grids can be lower, from roughly £60–£110 per m². Complex levels, extra sub-base, edging, steps or drainage integration will increase the overall price.
Most residential jobs take 3–7 working days, depending on area size and the amount of excavation required. A small front driveway may be completed in 3–4 days, while larger or more complex sites can take a week or more. Timescales are affected by access for machinery, spoil removal, curing time for porous concrete, and weather. We provide a clear schedule before work starts.
In many cases, a new or replacement driveway is permitted development if the surface is permeable or drains to a permeable area within your property. That’s why SuDS-compliant options are popular. However, rules can change for listed buildings, conservation considerations, or works affecting the public highway and dropped kerbs. We’ll advise on the typical requirements and can help you check what applies to your specific address in Croydon.
We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty on our permeable paving installations. This covers issues caused by installation faults, such as sinking from inadequate sub-base preparation, edge restraint failures, or poor levels leading to persistent pooling. Materials may also carry manufacturer warranties, depending on the product chosen. The warranty assumes normal domestic use and that the surface is maintained sensibly, such as keeping joints and pores clear of heavy silt.
You can choose from permeable block paving in a range of colours and laying patterns, resin bound finishes for a seamless look, gravel grids for low-maintenance parking, grass grids for greener driveways, and porous concrete for robust utility areas. We’ll help you match the style to your home—whether Victorian, Edwardian or a 1930s semi—while considering slip resistance, maintenance, and how the surface will cope with daily vehicle use.
