South Croydon’s mix of sloping streets and mature gardens can make surface water a real nuisance after heavy rain. Our permeable paving solutions let water soak through safely, rather than pooling on the drive or running towards the road. We regularly work near South Croydon station and around CR2, designing surfaces that suit both front drives and garden paths. The result is a premium finish with practical drainage built in.
From large detached homes and Victorian villas to well-kept 1930s semis in Sanderstead and Purley, properties here benefit from driveways that manage water without ugly channels. We match paving colours, edging and patterns to brickwork, render and period features. Where space is tight, we plan levels carefully to protect thresholds and air bricks. If you want permeable paving South Croydon area homeowners trust, we tailor the build to your plot and parking needs.
We start with a site survey, levels check and a clear recommendation on the best permeable system for your budget. Our team excavates to the correct depth, installs a free-draining sub-base, and integrates drainage where needed for reliable performance. Work is kept tidy, with waste removed and access planned around your routine. Every installation is finished to a high standard and backed by a 10-year warranty for peace of mind.
Ground conditions across the London Borough of Croydon can vary, so we assess soil type, fall and existing drainage before specifying materials.

We plan deliveries, parking and skip placement to minimise disruption on residential roads. The result is permeable paving in London Borough of Croydon that performs properly, not just looks good.

Costs vary with access, excavation depth, and the system you choose. As a guide, permeable block paving is often £110–£170 per m² installed, while resin bound tends to be £90–£150 per m² depending on base condition. Grass or gravel grids can start around £60–£110 per m² for lighter-duty areas. Edging, steps, lighting ducts and waste removal can affect the final figure.
Most driveway projects take 3–7 working days, depending on size and complexity. A small parking bay may be completed in a few days, while larger drives for detached homes can take a week or more. Timescales are influenced by excavation depth, sub-base build-up, drainage integration, and whether we’re removing old concrete or tarmac. Weather and restricted access can also slow progress, especially on narrow frontages.
In many cases, a new or replacement driveway is permitted development if the surface is permeable or drains to a permeable area within your boundary. That’s why SuDS-friendly systems are so popular. However, rules can differ for listed buildings, flats, shared access, or where you’re changing levels significantly near the highway. We’ll advise on the requirements and can help you confirm details with the London Borough of Croydon where needed.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our permeable paving installations, covering workmanship and the integrity of the installed structure when used as intended. That includes correct sub-base build-up, levels, and proper installation of the chosen permeable system. It doesn’t cover damage from third-party works, oil spills left untreated, or ground movement caused by issues outside the paved area. We’ll also explain simple maintenance to keep performance strong.
You can choose from permeable block paving in contemporary or traditional colours, resin bound finishes for a seamless look, or practical grass and gravel grids for softer, greener driveways. We also install porous concrete where a modern, robust surface is preferred. Design options include contrasting borders, soldier courses, curved edges, and steps where levels change. We’ll guide you on slip resistance, vehicle loading and the best look for your property.
