Honor Oak’s slopes and sudden downpours can quickly turn a driveway into a run-off channel. Our permeable surfaces let water soak through safely, helping reduce pooling and splashback outside your home. We regularly work near Honor Oak Park station and around One Tree Hill, creating driveways, paths and patio areas that stay usable in wet weather. Every installation is designed to suit your levels, access and the look of your frontage.
We’re a premium local team, around 20 minutes from Honor Oak, so aftercare and follow-up are straightforward. Many SE23 properties are Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and 1930s semis, often with narrow front gardens and shared access. We plan falls carefully, protect neighbouring boundaries, and keep entrances practical during the build. If your plot is stepped or has retaining walls, we can integrate drainage features without making the paving look ‘engineered’.
Our process starts with a site survey, then a clear written specification covering excavation depths, sub-base build-up and edge restraints. We install permeable layers correctly, integrate drainage where needed, and finish with crisp detailing for long-term stability. Homeowners choose us for punctual crews, clean working practices, and transparent communication throughout. All work is backed by a 10-year warranty for peace of mind.
The Honor Oak area has varied levels and tight access, especially around terraces and rail-adjacent streets. We plan deliveries, waste removal and parking to minimise disruption and keep neighbours on side. For permeable paving in London Borough of Lewisham, we also consider SuDS guidance, boundary run-off and any constraints affecting front gardens. Where ground conditions demand it, we use reinforced grids or layered sub-bases to keep the surface stable.

Costs vary by material, excavation depth, and whether old paving needs removal. As a guide, permeable block paving often starts around £110–£160 per m², resin bound typically £120–£180 per m², and gravel or grass grids around £70–£120 per m². Steps, retaining edges, lighting ducts and drainage integration can increase the total. We provide a detailed, itemised quote after a site visit.
Most front driveways take around 3–7 working days, depending on size and complexity. Time is affected by access, the amount of excavation and spoil removal, and whether levels need adjusting on sloping plots. Resin bound systems may need extra time for base preparation and curing. We’ll confirm a schedule before starting and keep you updated if weather or unforeseen ground conditions change the plan.
In many cases, permeable driveway surfaces are permitted development because they allow water to drain through rather than into the street. However, rules can change if you’re in a conservation area, altering a boundary wall, or significantly changing levels. We’ll advise on SuDS compliance and check whether any permissions or approvals are sensible before work begins. If needed, we can help with the information you’ll need to submit.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our permeable paving installations, covering workmanship and the structural integrity of the build-up when used as intended. This includes correct sub-base construction, edge restraints, and installation of the permeable layers. It doesn’t cover accidental damage, misuse, or issues caused by third-party alterations after completion. We also give care guidance to keep surfaces draining and looking their best.
We offer permeable block paving in a range of colours and laying patterns, resin bound finishes for a seamless look, and practical grass or gravel grids for lighter, greener front gardens. Porous concrete can suit contemporary schemes, while drainage integration can be discreetly built into the design. We’ll help you choose a finish that complements Victorian brickwork or 1930s render, and we’ll match edging details to your gates and pathways.
