Canary Wharf’s hard landscaping needs to look immaculate while coping with sudden downpours and heavy run-off. Our permeable surfaces are engineered to let water drain through, helping reduce surface water and puddling around entrances, terraces and podium gardens. We regularly work across E14, including near One Canada Square and Crossrail Place, where clean lines and durable finishes matter. Every installation is designed to perform as well as it looks.
The area’s property mix—high-rise apartments, waterfront developments and penthouses—often calls for discreet, premium paving rather than traditional tarmac. We create permeable solutions for balconies and terraces (where suitable), communal courtyards, private patios and access paths. For clients in the Isle of Dogs and Poplar, we tailor layouts to tighter footprints, shared access routes and building management requirements. If you need permeable paving Canary Wharf area specialists who understand modern schemes, you’re in safe hands.
We start with a site survey, levels check and drainage assessment, then propose a SuDS-compliant build-up with the right sub-base and edge restraints. Our team handles excavation, waste removal, installation and a final handover with care guidance. You’ll get clear timelines, tidy working practices and workmanship backed by a 10-year warranty. Many local homeowners and landlords choose us for consistent quality and reliable communication from start to finish.
Access and logistics in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets can be tricky, with loading restrictions, concierge systems and limited parking. We plan deliveries, waste collection and working hours to suit building rules and local controls. Ground conditions and existing drainage vary across riverside developments, so we design sub-bases and falls carefully to keep water moving where it should. If required, we can coordinate with managing agents for permits and site access.

Costs vary by material, access and groundworks. As a guide, permeable block paving is often £110–£170 per m², resin bound typically £120–£190 per m², and gravel or grass grids around £70–£130 per m². Porous concrete can be £140–£220 per m². Excavation depth, edging, steps, and drainage integration can increase the total, especially with restricted E14 access.
Most projects take 2–7 days, depending on size and complexity. A small patio or path may be completed in 2–3 days, while larger areas with significant excavation, edging and drainage integration can take a week or more. Resin bound systems may need additional curing time before heavy use. Access constraints, lift bookings, and waste removal arrangements in apartment developments can also affect the schedule.
In many cases, permeable paving is permitted development because it allows water to drain through rather than run to the street. However, rules can change if you’re working in a listed building setting, a managed development, or altering levels near boundaries. Some apartment blocks also require freeholder or managing agent approval. We’ll advise on SuDS compliance and check any local requirements before work begins.
Yes. Our permeable paving installations come with a 10-year workmanship warranty, covering issues caused by installation such as sinking from inadequate sub-base preparation, loose edging, or poor falls. Materials may also carry manufacturer warranties depending on the product used (for example, resin systems). The warranty doesn’t cover accidental damage, misuse, or problems caused by third-party alterations, but we’re always happy to inspect and advise.
We offer permeable block paving in contemporary colours, resin bound in a wide range of aggregates, porous concrete for sleek modern schemes, and grass or gravel grids for greener, lighter-touch finishes. Design options include soldier-course edging, contrasting borders, step details, and subtle lighting channels. We’ll recommend the best option based on drainage needs, slip resistance, maintenance preferences and the look that suits your building or terrace.
