Peckham’s heavy downpours can quickly overwhelm older hardstanding, leaving puddles and runoff. Our permeable paving solutions let water soak through the surface and into a designed sub-base, helping to reduce flood risk. We regularly work around SE15, including routes near Peckham Rye Park and Queen’s Road. The result is a smarter driveway or patio that stays usable in wet weather.
Homes in Peckham range from Victorian terraces to Georgian houses and converted warehouse spaces, and each brings different access and drainage challenges. Narrow front gardens, shared paths and tight side returns often need careful planning for levels and falls. We tailor permeable paving in the Peckham area to suit period brickwork, iron railings and modern conversions alike. Expect a finish that complements your property rather than fighting it.
We start with a site visit to assess levels, soil conditions and where water currently goes, then propose a SuDS-friendly build-up. Our team handles excavation, sub-base design, drainage integration and a tidy, professional finish with clear communication throughout. Work is carried out to high standards with a written 10-year warranty for peace of mind. Local homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, clean workmanship and long-lasting results.
In the London Borough of Southwark, older streets can mean limited parking, controlled bays and tricky access for skips and deliveries, so we plan logistics carefully. Ground conditions vary, and we adjust sub-base depth and geotextiles to suit. We also design around basement lightwells, shared boundaries and existing drains common in SE15 terraces. Where required, we integrate discreet channel drains and soakaway solutions to keep water on-site.

Costs vary by material, excavation depth and access. As a guide in SE15, permeable block paving often falls around £120–£180 per m², resin bound around £90–£150 per m², and gravel or grass grids around £60–£120 per m². Additional costs can include removal of old concrete, drainage integration, edging, steps, or reinstating thresholds. We provide a detailed written quote after a site survey.
Most driveway or patio projects take 3–7 working days, depending on size, access and how much excavation is required. Resin bound can be quicker once the base is prepared, while permeable block paving may take longer due to edging, laying patterns and jointing. Timescales can increase if we need to lower levels, rebuild retaining edges, or install soakaways. We confirm a programme before work starts and keep disruption controlled.
In many cases, permeable surfacing for a front garden driveway is permitted development because it allows water to drain within your property. Planning permission may be needed if you’re changing levels significantly, affecting a highway crossover, or if the property is listed or in a conservation area. We’ll advise during the survey and can design to meet SuDS requirements. If approvals are needed, we’ll help you understand the process and options.
Fine Landscaping provides a 10-year warranty on workmanship for permeable paving installations, covering issues such as sinking caused by sub-base failure, poor edging restraint, or installation defects. The warranty assumes normal residential use and that the surface isn’t overloaded by unusually heavy vehicles. Materials may also carry manufacturer guarantees, depending on the product chosen. We’ll explain what’s covered in writing and how to care for the surface to keep it performing.
We offer permeable block paving in a range of colours and laying patterns, resin bound finishes with natural aggregates, porous concrete for a clean contemporary look, and practical grass or gravel grids for greener driveways. Edging choices include kerbs, setts and contrasting borders, plus steps or recessed lighting where suitable. We’ll help you choose based on drainage performance, maintenance preferences and how it complements your property’s brickwork and frontage.
