Notting Hill’s sudden downpours can overwhelm older hardstanding, especially around Ladbroke Grove and near Portobello Road Market. Permeable paving lets water pass through the surface into a free-draining sub-base, reducing standing water and run-off. It’s a practical upgrade for front gardens, side returns and compact courtyards. We design each installation to suit the layout, levels and access typical of W11 properties.
Local homes range from pastel-painted Victorian townhouses to mansion conversions and tight mews houses where every square metre counts. We’re used to working with narrow access, shared walls and existing thresholds that can’t be raised. Our finishes are chosen to complement period brickwork, stucco and railings while keeping entrances usable year-round. If you want a discreet, high-performing surface, permeable paving Notting Hill area solutions are ideal.
We start with a site survey, levels check and drainage assessment, then propose materials and a build-up that meets SuDS compliance. Sub-base depth, edge restraints and falls are set out carefully, with drainage integration where needed for belt-and-braces performance. Work is scheduled to minimise disruption, with clear daily progress updates and a clean handover. Homeowners choose us for reliable timelines, neat detailing and a 10-year warranty.
In the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, access and parking can be tight, especially near Notting Hill Gate and the Carnival route. We plan deliveries, waste removal and working hours to keep neighbours and traffic impacts low. Ground conditions vary, so we tailor sub-base depth and permeability to avoid settlement and pooling. Our detailing suits conservation-minded streetscapes while delivering modern performance.

Costs vary by material, excavation depth and access. As a guide in W11, permeable block paving often starts around £120–£180 per m², resin bound typically £140–£220 per m², and gravel/grass grids can be £80–£140 per m². Porous concrete is usually £130–£200 per m². Restricted access, skip permits and extra drainage integration can increase the overall budget.
Most projects take 3–7 working days for a typical front garden or driveway, depending on size and complexity. Time is affected by excavation depth, removal logistics, and whether we’re integrating channel drains or soakaway features. Resin bound and porous concrete may need curing time before vehicle use. Mews access and permit arrangements in W11 can also influence start dates and programme.
In many cases, permeable paving is permitted development because it reduces run-off and supports SuDS compliance. However, rules can change for listed buildings, conservation areas, or where you’re altering boundary walls, railings or levels. We’ll advise on the likely requirements, check constraints affecting your address, and help you choose a compliant specification. If permissions or permits are needed, we’ll guide you through them.
We provide a 10-year warranty covering installation workmanship, including sub-base preparation, edge restraints and surface integrity under normal domestic use. It also covers issues such as sinking caused by inadequate compaction (where not due to external factors). Materials may carry their own manufacturer guarantees, depending on the product. We’ll explain what’s covered, maintenance guidance, and how to keep the surface performing long-term.
Options include permeable block paving in traditional or contemporary colours, resin bound for a seamless finish, porous concrete for clean modern lines, and grass or gravel grids for a softer look. We can add drainage integration, recessed manhole covers and edging details to suit Victorian façades and mews entrances. We’ll bring samples, recommend slip-resistant finishes, and design patterns that complement your property and practical needs.
