Response within 24 hours
Heavy downpours can overwhelm older surfaces, so a permeable finish is a practical upgrade for SW9 homes. We design and install permeable driveways, paths and patios that let water soak through safely rather than spilling onto the street. Around Stockwell tube station and the surrounding streets, we often replace cracked concrete and tired slabs with cleaner, longer-lasting permeable systems. The result is a surface that performs in wet weather and stays looking tidy year-round.
Stockwell’s mix of Victorian terraces, Georgian houses and post-war estates means access, levels and existing drainage vary from one property to the next. We’re used to narrow front gardens, shared boundaries and stepped thresholds, especially between Stockwell and Oval. Our team matches materials and edging details to period brickwork and railings, while keeping gradients subtle and safe. Because we’re only around 15 minutes away, site visits and follow-ups are quick and straightforward.
We start with a survey, levels check and drainage assessment, then recommend the right build-up for your soil and usage. Installation includes proper excavation, permeable sub-base, geotextiles where needed, and drainage integration to control overflow. You’ll get clear specifications, tidy working practices, and a finish designed to meet SuDS compliance. Homeowners choose us for consistent communication, durable workmanship and a surface that doesn’t fail after the first winter.
In the permeable paving Stockwell area, we often encounter mixed ground conditions and legacy drainage from older refurbishments. We plan deliveries and waste removal around Lambeth parking controls and tighter access near Stockwell Park. Where falls are limited, we use drainage integration and permeable sub-bases to keep water moving. We also tailor edging and thresholds to suit Victorian front steps and shared boundary lines.

Costs vary by material, access and groundworks, but typical ranges in SW9 are £90–£140 per m² for permeable block paving, £110–£170 per m² for resin bound, and £120–£190 per m² for porous concrete. Grass or gravel grids can start around £60–£110 per m². Excavation depth, skip permits, edging and drainage integration can shift the total.
Most projects take 2–5 days for a small front garden or driveway, and 5–10 days for larger areas or complex levels. Timescales depend on excavation depth, access for machinery, weather, curing time (especially for porous concrete or resin), and whether we’re integrating new drainage runs. We’ll confirm a programme after the site survey and keep you updated if conditions change.
Often, front garden paving is permitted development if the surface is permeable or drains to a permeable area within your property, which is why SuDS-compliant systems are popular. However, rules can differ for listed buildings, flats, or if changes affect the highway. We check the basics during the survey and can advise if you should contact Lambeth Council before work starts.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our installation workmanship, covering issues such as settlement caused by inadequate sub-base preparation, edge restraint failure, and defects linked to our build method. Materials may also carry manufacturer guarantees, depending on the product chosen (for example resin systems). The warranty doesn’t cover accidental damage, oil staining, or problems caused by third-party alterations or heavy vehicles beyond design load.
We offer permeable block paving in a wide range of colours and laying patterns, resin bound finishes for a seamless look, porous concrete for robust modern surfaces, and grass or gravel grids for greener parking solutions. Many clients choose contrasting borders, charcoal soldier courses, or subtle curves to suit period façades. We’ll help you pick a finish based on drainage performance, slip resistance, maintenance, and how it complements your property.
