Pollards Hill homeowners often need paving that copes with heavy downpours without creating puddles at the front door. Our permeable systems are designed to let water soak through safely, helping protect your property and the street drainage network. We regularly work near Pollards Hill Library and around South Lodge Avenue, installing driveways, paths and patios that stay usable year-round. Every build is tailored to your levels, access and preferred finish.
From 1930s semis to post-war housing and maisonettes, many SW16 properties have compact front gardens and sloping drives where runoff can be an issue. We design permeable paving to suit tighter plots, shared access and practical parking needs. If you’re on the Pollards Hill Recreation Ground side of the neighbourhood or closer to Norbury, we’ll match the style of your home while improving drainage. You’ll get a surface that’s neat, durable and easy to maintain.
We start with a site visit, check levels, and recommend the best option—permeable block paving, resin bound, porous concrete, or grids with gravel/grass. Our installations include proper sub-base build-ups and drainage integration so the system performs, not just looks good. Work is scheduled clearly, kept tidy, and finished with sharp edging and clean transitions to thresholds. Local homeowners choose us for straightforward advice, reliable workmanship and a 10-year warranty.
In the London Borough of Merton, driveway drainage is a common concern, especially on sloping plots and where front gardens have been adapted for parking. We plan for access and parking constraints typical of SW16 streets, including material deliveries and waste removal. Ground conditions can vary, so we select sub-base depths and geotextiles to prevent settlement and migration. If needed, we incorporate soakaways or channel connections while keeping the finish clean and compliant.

Costs vary by material, groundworks and access. As a guide in Pollards Hill, permeable block paving often starts around £90–£140 per m², resin bound typically £100–£160 per m², and gravel or grass grids about £60–£110 per m². Excavation depth, waste removal, edging, steps, and drainage integration can change the total. We provide a detailed written quote after a site survey.
Most domestic jobs take 2–5 days, depending on size and complexity. A small front path may be completed in 1–2 days, while a full driveway with edging, levels corrections and drainage integration may take a week. Timescales depend on excavation depth, spoil removal, access for machinery, and curing time (particularly for porous concrete). We confirm a programme before starting and keep you updated daily.
Many driveway and front garden paving works are permitted development, especially when the surface is permeable or water is directed to a permeable area within your boundary. However, rules can change for listed buildings, flats/maisonettes, shared forecourts, or where there are restrictive covenants. We’ll advise on SuDS compliance and check the basics for the London Borough of Merton before work begins, so you’re not left guessing.
We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty on our permeable paving installations. It covers issues caused by installation faults, such as sinking from inadequate sub-base build-up, unstable edging, or poor falls that affect performance. Materials may also carry manufacturer warranties, depending on the product chosen. The warranty assumes normal domestic use and that the surface is maintained sensibly (for example, keeping joints and pores clear).
You can choose permeable block paving in modern or traditional colours, resin bound in a wide range of aggregates, porous concrete for a crisp, uniform finish, or grass/gravel grids for a greener look. We help you select edging, patterns, and thresholds to suit your home and parking needs. For the permeable paving Pollards Hill area, we also consider slip resistance, maintenance, and how the surface will handle runoff from roofs and paths.
