Chelsea homes demand finishes that look refined and perform in wet weather. Our permeable paving solutions channel rainwater through the surface rather than across it, helping reduce puddles and localised flooding. We regularly work around King’s Road and near the Saatchi Gallery, where space is tight and detailing matters. Expect crisp edges, level thresholds and drainage designed into the build.
In SW3 and SW10 you’ll find Georgian townhouses, Victorian mansions and luxury apartments with courtyards, mews access and compact front gardens. We design permeable driveways and paths that suit period facades and contemporary entrances alike. Whether you need discreet gravel grids for a heritage look or resin bound for a seamless finish, we match colours and textures to your property. Our experience across the permeable paving Chelsea area helps us plan for access, neighbours and premium expectations.
We start with a site survey, levels check and a clear recommendation on the best permeable system for your use. Every installation is built on the correct permeable sub-base, with drainage integration where needed and tidy, protected working practices. You’ll get a written specification, realistic programme and regular updates from a dedicated lead installer. Homeowners choose us for dependable workmanship, clean handovers and a 10-year warranty.
Chelsea streets can mean controlled parking, narrow access and strict expectations for noise and cleanliness. We plan deliveries, waste removal and working hours to suit the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea. Ground conditions vary between compacted made ground and older garden soils, so we size the permeable sub-base and edge restraints accordingly. If your home is a listed-style frontage or a mews setting, we keep detailing sympathetic and discreet.

Costs depend on the system, excavation depth and access. As a guide, permeable block paving often starts around £120–£180 per m², resin bound typically £140–£220 per m², and gravel or grass grids roughly £80–£140 per m². Porous concrete can be higher for specialist pours and finishing. In Chelsea, restricted access, skip permits and premium edging details can increase the overall budget.
Most projects take 3–7 working days, depending on size and the chosen finish. A small courtyard or path may be completed in a few days, while larger driveways with steps, lighting ducts or complex drainage integration can take 1–2 weeks. Timescales are affected by excavation depth, sub-base build-up, curing time for resin/porous concrete, and access limitations common around SW3 and SW10.
In many cases, permeable surfacing is permitted because it allows water to drain through rather than into the highway drains. However, rules can change for listed buildings, conservation considerations, new or altered vehicle crossings, and works affecting boundary walls or levels. We check your site specifics and advise on SuDS compliance, any permissions, and whether you’ll need to liaise with the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea before work starts.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our permeable paving installations, covering workmanship and the structural build-up when used as intended. That includes the correct permeable sub-base, edge restraints and installation standards for the chosen system. The warranty doesn’t cover damage from heavy vehicles beyond the design load, accidental impact, or lack of basic maintenance such as keeping joints and surfaces clear. Manufacturer guarantees may also apply to specific products.
We offer permeable block paving in contemporary or period-style colours, resin bound in a wide aggregate range, porous concrete for a sleek modern look, plus grass grids and gravel grids for discreet, greener parking. We can also integrate channel drains, soakaway connections and clean edging details. We’ll help you choose based on slip resistance, maintenance, shade levels, and how the finish complements your Chelsea property’s brickwork and frontage.
