Brockley’s mix of front gardens, sloping streets and busy parking makes drainage a real consideration when upgrading a driveway or path. Our permeable paving keeps water where it should be—so it soaks through rather than running towards the house or pavement. Whether you’re near Brockley Market or walking routes around Hilly Fields, we design finishes that suit the area’s character. Expect clean edges, tidy falls and a surface that performs in heavy downpours.
We regularly work on Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and mansion conversions across SE4, where access can be tight and levels need careful planning. Many properties around Honor Oak and Crofton Park have shallow front gardens, steps, or bay-window façades that benefit from sympathetic paving layouts. We match colours and detailing to brickwork and railings, and we plan parking bays and turning space without losing greenery. The result is a practical surface that still feels appropriate for period homes.
Our process starts with a site survey, levels check and drainage plan, then we recommend the best SuDS-friendly build-up for your ground conditions. We excavate, install the correct sub-base, integrate drainage where needed, and lay the chosen permeable finish with crisp lines and durable edging. You’ll get clear communication, a written scope of works, and workmanship backed by a 10-year warranty. Local homeowners trust us because we build for longevity, not shortcuts.
Brockley sites often involve mixed ground, mature tree roots and tight street parking, so we plan deliveries and waste removal carefully. In the London Borough of Lewisham we also consider pavement crossovers, levels to damp-proof courses, and how runoff behaves during storms. Where access is limited, we phase works to keep entrances usable and keep disruption down. Our permeable paving brockley area installations are tailored to the property layout, not a one-size approach.

Costs vary by material, excavation depth, access and how much groundwork is required. As a guide, gravel or grass/gravel grids often start around £80–£120 per m², permeable block paving is typically £120–£180 per m², and resin bound is commonly £140–£220 per m². Porous concrete can be higher depending on finishes. We’ll survey in SE4 and provide an itemised quote.
Most front driveways take around 3–7 working days, depending on size, excavation depth, edging, and whether drainage integration is needed. Resin bound usually needs a stable base and suitable weather for laying, which can affect scheduling. Larger areas, complex levels, or restricted access near New Cross or Ladywell can add time. We’ll confirm a realistic programme after the site survey.
In many cases, permeable driveways and patios are permitted development because they allow water to drain through rather than into the street drains. However, rules can change if you’re altering levels significantly, working near the highway, or the property is in a conservation area. We’ll advise on SuDS compliance, check surface water routing, and flag when you may need permission or a dropped-kerb application.
We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty on our permeable paving installations, covering issues such as settlement from incorrect sub-base build-up, edge failure, and installation-related drainage problems. Materials may also carry manufacturer warranties, depending on the product chosen. The warranty assumes normal residential use and basic maintenance (such as keeping joints topped up where applicable). You’ll receive warranty details in writing with your quote.
We offer permeable block paving in a range of colours and laying patterns, resin bound in natural aggregate blends, porous concrete for a modern look, plus grass grids and gravel grids for greener parking. We can also integrate linear drains, soakaway solutions and tidy edging to suit period front gardens. We’ll help you choose based on appearance, slip resistance, maintenance, and how the space is used day to day.
