Hammersmith’s heavy footfall, busy roads and riverside weather can make standing water a real nuisance on hard surfaces. Our permeable paving systems let rain soak through safely, reducing puddles and runoff. We work across W6, including routes near King Street and the approaches to Hammersmith Bridge. The result is a surface that performs in wet weather and complements your home’s frontage.
From Victorian terraces in Brook Green to mansion flats and modern riverside developments closer to the Thames, access and levels vary widely. We design permeable paving that suits tight front gardens, shared paths and larger parking bays. If you’re in Shepherd’s Bush or bordering Chiswick, we’ll match materials and detailing to the existing brickwork and streetscape. Every installation is built around practical use—bins, bikes, prams and cars included.
We start with a site survey, levels check and drainage plan, then recommend the best permeable build-up for your ground conditions. Our team excavates, installs a free-draining sub-base, integrates drainage where needed, and finishes with crisp edging and falls. You’ll get clear specifications, tidy working practices, and straightforward aftercare advice. Homeowners choose us for consistent workmanship, transparent communication, and a long-term finish that lasts.
The permeable paving Hammersmith area often involves tight access, controlled parking, and careful spoil removal—especially around King Street and Brook Green. We plan deliveries and waste collection to minimise disruption and keep neighbours onside. Ground conditions can vary from made ground to compacted clay, so we adjust sub-base depth and geotextiles accordingly. We also factor in local SuDS expectations within the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham.

Costs depend on the surface type, excavation depth, access, and how much groundwork is needed. As a guide, permeable block paving often starts around £110–£170 per m², resin bound typically £120–£190 per m², and gravel/grass grid systems around £70–£130 per m². Edging, steps, lighting ducts, and drainage connections can add to the total. We provide a detailed, itemised quote after a site visit.
Most projects take 3–7 working days for a typical driveway or patio, depending on size and complexity. Time is affected by excavation volume, skip access, the need for level changes or retaining edges, and whether existing concrete must be broken out. Resin bound may require suitable dry conditions for laying and curing, while block paving can be phased to keep access. We confirm a programme before starting and keep you updated daily.
In many cases, front garden driveways are permitted development if the surface is permeable or drains to a permeable area within your property. That’s why SuDS-friendly options are so popular. However, rules can change for listed buildings, conservation areas, or where alterations affect highways or trees. We’ll advise on the likely requirements, help you choose a compliant specification, and can support with drawings or documentation if an application is needed.
We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty on our permeable paving installations, covering issues such as sinking caused by inadequate base preparation, movement, and installation-related defects. Materials are also covered by manufacturer warranties where applicable (for example, resin and certain paving products). The warranty assumes normal use and reasonable maintenance, such as keeping joints topped up where required and avoiding harsh chemical spills. We explain aftercare clearly at handover.
You can choose from permeable block paving (classic or contemporary), resin bound stone for a seamless finish, porous concrete for clean modern lines, and grass or gravel grids for a softer look. We’ll help you select colours that suit London stock brick and period detailing, plus edging that frames the space neatly. Patterns, borders, and thresholds are designed around parking needs and door levels. Samples and layout options are provided before you commit.
