Pimlico’s elegant streets and garden squares deserve paving that performs as well as it looks. Whether you’re near Tate Britain or walking distance from Pimlico tube station, standing water on paths and forecourts can be a persistent nuisance. Our permeable surfaces let rainwater soak through rather than running across the top. The result is a cleaner finish, fewer puddles and improved flood reduction for SW1 properties.
We regularly work across Pimlico, Westminster and Victoria, where access can be tight and finishes need to suit period architecture. Regency townhouses, mansion blocks and period conversions often have small front gardens, lightwells and shared entrances that demand careful detailing. We design permeable paving to complement traditional brickwork while meeting modern drainage expectations. If you’re in the permeable paving pimlico area, we’ll recommend options that balance kerb appeal with practical performance.
Our process starts with a site survey, levels check and drainage plan, then a clear written specification. We excavate correctly, install a free-draining sub-base and integrate drainage where needed to support SuDS compliance. Work is scheduled to minimise disruption, with tidy handover and aftercare advice. Homeowners choose us for consistent workmanship, transparent communication and a 10-year warranty for peace of mind.
Pimlico sites often involve basement lightwells, narrow access and controlled parking, so we plan deliveries and waste removal carefully. We also allow for mature street trees and existing services common around Dolphin Square and St George's Square. Levels are critical in the area’s mansion blocks to keep water away from thresholds and vents. For permeable paving in City of Westminster, we design with SuDS principles and practical maintenance in mind.

Costs in SW1 vary by material, access and groundwork. As a guide, permeable block paving is often around £120–£200 per m², resin bound typically £110–£180 per m², and gravel or grass grids commonly £70–£140 per m². Excavation depth, waste removal, edging, steps and drainage integration can add to the total. We provide a detailed, itemised quote after a site survey.
Most projects take 2–7 days depending on size and complexity. A small front garden or courtyard may be completed in 2–3 days, while larger driveways with extensive excavation, edging and drainage integration can take a week or more. Timescales are affected by access in Pimlico, weather, curing time for resin bound or porous concrete, and any unexpected issues with existing sub-bases or services.
In many cases, permeable surfacing to a front garden or driveway is permitted because it allows water to drain through rather than run to the street. However, rules can differ for listed buildings, conservation areas, basement works, or if you’re altering levels significantly. We’ll advise on SuDS compliance, check constraints relevant to your property, and help you understand whether any permissions or approvals are likely before work begins.
Yes. Fine Landscaping provides a 10-year warranty on workmanship for permeable paving installations, covering issues such as sinking caused by incorrect sub-base preparation or poor installation. Material warranties can also apply depending on the product (for example, resin systems or specific block manufacturers). The warranty doesn’t cover accidental damage, misuse, or problems caused by third-party alterations, but we’ll always offer practical support and maintenance advice.
You can choose from permeable block paving (classic or contemporary patterns), resin bound for a seamless finish, porous concrete for robust utility areas, and gravel or grass grids for a softer, greener look. We also integrate drainage details, edging and step solutions to suit thresholds and lightwells. We’ll help you select colours and textures that complement Pimlico’s period façades, and design falls to keep water away from entrances.
