Camberwell downpours can overwhelm older drains and leave puddles across front gardens and driveways. Our permeable paving solutions help rainwater soak through safely, reducing surface water and slick patches. We regularly work around Camberwell Green and Denmark Hill station, where access and levels can be tight. Whether it’s a new driveway or a smarter patio, we design for year-round performance in SE5.
Camberwell’s Georgian townhouses and Victorian terraces often have narrow frontages, steps, and existing hardstanding that needs upgrading. We match materials and edging details to period brickwork while improving drainage and kerb appeal. For modern apartments and shared entrances, we can create tidy, low-maintenance walkways with clear slip resistance. If you’re near King’s College Hospital or between Denmark Hill and Peckham, we’ll plan around parking and deliveries.
We start with a site survey, levels check, and a clear recommendation on the best SuDS-friendly build-up. Every installation includes proper sub-base preparation, compaction, and drainage integration where needed, not shortcuts. You’ll get a written scope, tidy working practices, and a finish that’s built to last. Local homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, neat detailing, and a 10-year warranty on workmanship.
In the permeable paving Camberwell area, we often find mixed ground conditions, older drains, and tight access routes typical of Southwark streets. We plan spoil removal, deliveries, and parking suspensions where required, keeping disruption low. Levels are carefully set to protect air bricks, bay windows, and basement lightwells on period homes. Our layouts also suit shared paths and bin routes common around SE5 blocks.

Costs vary by material, access, and groundwork. As a guide in SE5, permeable block paving is often £110–£160 per m², resin bound typically £120–£180 per m², and grass or gravel grids around £70–£120 per m². Porous concrete can be £140–£220 per m² depending on finish. Excavation depth, waste removal, edging, and drainage integration can change the total.
Most front garden driveways take around 3–6 working days, while larger areas or complex levels can run 1–2 weeks. Time depends on excavation depth, sub-base build-up, weather, and whether we’re adding channels, soakaways, or steps. Resin bound may need extra curing time before vehicles can use it. We’ll confirm a schedule after the survey and keep you updated daily.
In many cases, driveway and garden paving is permitted development if the surface is permeable or drains to a permeable area within your property. That’s why SuDS-compliant solutions are popular. However, rules can differ for listed buildings, conservation considerations, or changes to access/kerbs. We’ll advise on the safest approach, check drainage requirements, and help you understand any Southwark-specific constraints before work begins.
We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty on our permeable paving installations. This covers issues caused by installation faults such as sub-base failure, sinking due to poor compaction, or edging movement, subject to normal use. Manufacturer warranties may also apply to specific products like resin systems. We’ll explain what’s included, how to care for the surface, and what can void cover (for example, heavy skips without protection).
You can choose from permeable block paving in traditional or contemporary colours, resin bound in natural aggregates, porous concrete for a clean modern look, and grass or gravel grids for greener front gardens. We also offer drainage integration such as discreet channels and soakaways where needed. We’ll help you select edging, patterns, and finishes to suit Georgian and Victorian façades, plus practical needs like parking, bins, and slip resistance.
