Nunhead’s mix of sloping streets and compact front gardens can make surface water a real nuisance after heavy rain. Our permeable paving solutions let water pass through the surface and into a properly prepared sub-base, reducing puddles and runoff. We regularly work near Nunhead Cemetery and around SE15, creating driveways and paths that stay usable year-round. The result is a neat finish that supports day-to-day parking without sacrificing drainage performance.
Local homes here often include Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and period cottages, where space is tight and the frontage matters. We design permeable paving that complements traditional brickwork and boundary walls, while keeping thresholds and air bricks protected. If you’re in Peckham, East Dulwich or Honor Oak, we’ll tailor levels and edging details to suit the existing street scene. Every build is planned around access, skip placement and keeping disruption to a minimum.
We start with a site survey, levels check and a clear recommendation on the best SuDS-friendly surface for your needs. Our team excavates correctly, installs a free-draining sub-base, and integrates drainage where required for long-term performance. You’ll get a written specification, tidy workmanship, and a 10-year warranty for peace of mind. Homeowners choose us for straightforward communication, reliable scheduling and finishes that look premium from day one.
In the permeable paving Nunhead area, we often see variable ground conditions and tight access typical of SE15 terraces. We plan deliveries and waste removal around on-street parking and narrow front paths, and we keep levels carefully controlled to avoid directing water towards the house. For permeable paving in London Borough of Southwark, we also consider SuDS expectations and how runoff connects to existing drainage. Designs are adapted to suit local gradients near Telegraph Hill Park and surrounding streets.

Costs vary by surface choice, excavation depth and access. As a guide in SE15, permeable block paving often starts around £110–£160 per m², resin bound typically £120–£180 per m², and gravel or grass grids can be £70–£130 per m². Complex level changes, steps, retaining edges, or additional drainage integration can increase the total. We provide a detailed, itemised quotation after a site visit.
Most front driveway projects in Nunhead take around 3–7 working days from excavation to completion, depending on size and finish. Resin bound may need an extra day for curing, while block paving can take longer if there are intricate patterns or lots of edging. Timescales are affected by access, spoil removal, weather, and whether we’re integrating drainage channels or adjusting levels near the property threshold. We confirm a schedule before starting.
In many cases, driveway and front garden surfacing is permitted development if the surface is permeable or drains to a permeable area within your boundary, which is why SuDS-compliant solutions are popular. However, rules can differ for listed buildings, conservation considerations, or if you’re altering access/kerbs. We’ll advise on the likely requirements for your property in Southwark and can help you understand what needs approval before work begins.
Fine Landscaping provides a 10-year warranty on workmanship for permeable paving installations, covering issues such as settlement caused by incorrect sub-base preparation, edge restraint failure, or installation defects. Materials may also come with manufacturer warranties, depending on the product selected (for example, resin systems or specific paving blocks). The warranty assumes normal use and that surfaces aren’t damaged by heavy vehicles beyond design load. We explain care and maintenance at handover.
We offer permeable block paving in a range of colours and laying patterns, resin bound for a seamless modern look, porous concrete for hard-wearing utility areas, and grass or gravel grids for a greener, softer finish. We can also integrate discreet drainage details and edging to suit period properties. During the survey, we’ll discuss slip resistance, maintenance, and how each option performs with local rainfall. You’ll get samples and a clear recommendation.
