Marylebone homeowners want paving that complements Georgian façades yet copes with London downpours. Our permeable surfaces let water soak through rather than rushing to the street, helping reduce surface water issues around W1. Whether you’re near Marylebone High Street or walking distance from Regent’s Park, we design paving that feels appropriate for the setting. Expect clean detailing, tidy edges, and drainage that’s planned from day one.
We regularly work across the permeable paving Marylebone area, including Fitzrovia and Paddington, where access can be tight and finishes need to be immaculate. Typical projects include forecourts to Georgian townhouses, communal entrances to mansion blocks, and side returns on period conversions. We match colours and laying patterns to existing brickwork and railings, while ensuring the build-up meets modern performance standards. The result is a surface that stays stable, drains correctly, and looks premium year-round.
Our process starts with a site survey, levels check, and a clear plan for water movement—often with drainage integration to protect thresholds and lightwells. We excavate to the correct depth, install a permeable sub-base, and lay the chosen finish with SuDS compliance in mind. Work is scheduled to minimise disruption, with careful waste removal and a clean handover. Homeowners choose us for straightforward communication, high-end workmanship, and a 10-year warranty for peace of mind.
Marylebone streets can mean controlled parking, narrow access routes, and strict expectations on noise and cleanliness. We plan deliveries, spoil removal, and working hours carefully, and we’re used to coordinating around building managers for mansion blocks. Ground conditions vary, so we design the sub-base to suit and keep levels safe around basements and lightwells. If you need permeable paving in City of Westminster, we also consider any local guidance on front gardens and hardstanding.

Costs vary by material, access, excavation depth, and drainage requirements. As a guide in W1, permeable block paving often ranges from £120–£200 per m², resin bound from £140–£220 per m², and gravel or grass grids from £80–£150 per m². Steps, edgings, lighting ducts, and complex levels around lightwells can increase the total. We provide a detailed, itemised quote after a site visit.
Most projects take 3–7 working days depending on area size and the chosen system. A small forecourt or path may be completed in 2–4 days, while larger driveways or multi-level entrances can take 1–2 weeks. Timescales are affected by access in Marylebone, waste removal logistics, curing times for resin or concrete, and any drainage integration. We confirm a programme before starting and keep you updated daily.
In many cases, front garden and driveway works are permitted development if the surface is permeable or drains to a permeable area within your boundary. However, rules can change for listed buildings, conservation areas, and certain frontage alterations common around Marylebone. We’ll advise on SuDS compliance, check whether consent is likely, and can help you prepare information for the council if needed. We never start without confirming the right approach.
We provide a 10-year warranty covering installation workmanship, including correct sub-base build-up, settlement issues caused by poor construction, and edge restraint stability. Materials are also covered by manufacturer guarantees where applicable (such as resin systems), subject to their terms. The warranty doesn’t cover accidental damage, oil spills or staining, or neglect such as failing to keep joints topped up where required. We explain maintenance clearly at handover.
Popular options include permeable block paving in traditional colours, resin bound for a seamless contemporary look, porous concrete for robust utility areas, and grass or gravel grids for softer, greener front gardens. We can incorporate subtle edging, contrasting borders, and step details to suit Georgian and mansion block settings. During the survey we’ll show samples, discuss slip resistance, maintenance, and how each finish handles drainage, then recommend the best fit for your home.
