Paddington’s mix of busy streets and compact outdoor spaces makes surface water management a real priority. Our permeable paving solutions let rainfall soak through safely, reducing puddles and runoff. Whether you’re near Paddington Station or enjoying walks by Little Venice, we design paving that suits the setting. Every installation is built with drainage integration and flood reduction in mind.
We regularly work across W2, including Bayswater, Maida Vale and Marylebone, where outdoor areas range from small front gardens to shared accessways. Stucco townhouses often need elegant, sympathetic finishes, while mansion flats and modern apartments typically require durable, low-maintenance communal surfaces. We tailor levels, edging, and falls to suit basement lightwells, steps, and tight thresholds. The result is a surface that performs well without compromising kerb appeal.
Our process starts with a site survey, then a clear specification covering sub-base build-up, permeability rates, and SuDS compliance. We excavate properly, install the correct permeable sub-base, and finish with precise laying and clean detailing. You’ll get transparent communication, careful waste removal, and a tidy site at handover. Homeowners choose us because we deliver consistent quality, backed by a long warranty and proven drainage performance.
Working in the City of Westminster often means tight access, controlled parking, and careful scheduling for deliveries and skips. Around Hyde Park and Paddington Basin, we frequently manage level changes and drainage routes to existing gullies or soakaway zones. We also match materials to local architecture, from crisp edging for stucco façades to contemporary finishes for newer blocks. Our team plans logistics to minimise disruption to neighbours and building managers.

Costs in Paddington typically range from about £120–£220 per m² for permeable block paving, depending on excavation depth and edging. Resin bound is often £140–£260 per m², influenced by base condition and aggregate choice. Gravel or grass grids can start around £80–£160 per m². Access constraints in W2, waste removal, and any drainage integration can affect the final figure.
Most projects take 3–7 working days for a typical front garden or driveway-sized area, including excavation, sub-base, and finishing. Larger communal spaces can take 1–2 weeks. Timescales depend on access for materials, the depth of dig required, and whether we’re correcting levels near steps or thresholds. Weather can also affect resin bound curing and the pace of laying.
In many cases, permeable paving is permitted because it helps manage runoff and supports SuDS compliance. However, rules can change if the property is listed, in a conservation area, or if boundary walls/kerbs are altered. We’ll advise on what’s likely required and can help you check City of Westminster guidance before work starts. If permission is needed, we can provide the technical details to support an application.
We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty on our permeable paving installations, covering issues such as settlement caused by incorrect sub-base construction or poor laying. Materials may also carry manufacturer warranties, depending on the product chosen. The warranty assumes normal use and basic maintenance, such as keeping joints clear and avoiding oil spills on resin. We’ll explain care requirements at handover to protect performance and appearance.
Popular choices include permeable block paving in contemporary greys or warmer traditional tones, resin bound for a seamless finish, and gravel grids for a classic look with stability. Grass grids suit greener parking bays or overflow areas. We’ll help you choose colours, edging, and patterns that complement Paddington property styles, then design falls and drainage integration to keep everything working properly. Samples and clear visuals are provided before you commit.
