If your driveway pools after heavy rain, a permeable surface can transform how your front garden performs. We install permeable block paving, resin bound and grid systems that let water drain through rather than rushing towards the road. Many clients near Hither Green station and Mountsfield Park choose permeable paving to keep entrances cleaner and safer year-round. Our solutions are built for everyday parking, prams, bikes and bins without the mess.
Hither Green’s Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and 1930s semis often have compact front gardens and shared access considerations. We design layouts that maximise parking while keeping thresholds, air bricks and paths protected. Whether you’re in SE13 near Lee or closer to Grove Park, we match materials to the style of the property and the level changes typical of these streets. The result is a driveway that suits the house and handles London downpours.
We start with a site survey, levels check and a clear drainage plan, then recommend the best permeable build-up for your ground conditions. Every installation includes proper sub-base preparation, edge restraints and drainage integration where needed to meet SuDS compliance. Our team keeps the site tidy, manages deliveries and access, and communicates timings clearly from day one. Homeowners choose us for reliable workmanship, premium finishes and a long-term approach to flood reduction.
In the permeable paving Hither Green area, we often contend with tight frontage access, resident parking restrictions and deliveries that need careful scheduling. Ground conditions can vary, so we adjust sub-base depth and specify the right aggregate to keep permeability consistent. We also plan levels around bay windows, steps and existing garden walls common in SE13. Where required, we coordinate drainage details to align with London Borough of Lewisham expectations.

Costs vary by material, excavation depth and access. As a guide in SE13, permeable block paving often starts around £110–£160 per m², resin bound typically £120–£180 per m², and gravel/grass grids can be £70–£120 per m². Additional factors include waste removal, edging, steps, lighting ducts and any drainage integration. We provide an itemised quote after a site survey.
Most permeable driveway projects take 3–7 working days, depending on size and complexity. Smaller front gardens for Victorian terraces may be completed in 3–4 days, while larger 1930s semis with extra parking or paths can take a week or more. Timescales are affected by excavation depth, sub-base curing (for porous concrete), weather, and any changes to levels near thresholds or garden walls.
In many cases, front driveways are permitted development if the surface is permeable or drains to a permeable area within your property. That’s why SuDS-compliant solutions are so popular. However, rules can differ for listed buildings, conservation considerations, new crossovers, or where drainage is altered. We’ll advise during the survey, check the key constraints, and recommend a compliant design before work starts.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our permeable paving installations, covering workmanship issues such as sinking caused by incorrect sub-base preparation, failed edge restraints, or installation-related movement. Materials are also covered by manufacturer warranties where applicable (for example, resin systems). The warranty doesn’t cover accidental damage, oil spills left untreated, or problems caused by third-party alterations. We also give clear care guidance to protect the finish.
We offer permeable block paving in modern or traditional colours, resin bound in a wide range of natural aggregates, porous concrete for a clean contemporary look, and grass or gravel grids for a softer, greener frontage. We can include contrasting borders, soldier courses, and subtle falls to guide water into the permeable build-up. We’ll help you choose based on parking needs, slip resistance, maintenance preferences and the style of your home.
