Streatham Hill’s busy streets and sloping plots can make surface water run-off a real nuisance after heavy rain. Our permeable paving solutions let water soak through the surface and into a designed sub-base, reducing puddling and pressure on drains. We regularly work near Streatham Hill station and along Christchurch Road, creating driveways, paths and patios that stay usable year-round. The result is a cleaner finish with drainage built in, not bolted on.
Homes around SW2 range from Victorian terraces to Edwardian houses and mansion conversions, each with different levels, thresholds and garden layouts. We design permeable paving that suits period brickwork, bay-fronted façades and narrow side returns, while keeping access practical for bins and bikes. For shared forecourts and converted properties, we can define bays neatly with edging and contrasting courses. If you’re comparing options for the permeable paving streatham hill area, we’ll explain what works best for your soil, slope and usage.
We start with a site survey, levels check and drainage plan, then recommend the right system: permeable block paving, resin bound, porous concrete, or grids for gravel and grass. Our installations include proper excavation depth, geotextiles, graded aggregates and drainage integration where needed, aiming for SuDS compliance from the ground up. Work is scheduled to minimise disruption, with tidy handover and clear maintenance guidance. Local homeowners choose us for reliable communication, high-end finishes and a 10-year warranty on workmanship.
In the London Borough of Lambeth, many properties have limited off-street parking and tight access, so we plan deliveries, waste removal and working hours carefully. Streatham Hill’s gradients mean levels and falls are critical; we set thresholds to protect air bricks and prevent water tracking to the house. Where clay-heavy ground slows infiltration, we adapt the sub-base and include overflow routes as required. We also advise on materials that complement local brick and stone detailing.

Costs vary by material, excavation depth and access. As a guide in Streatham Hill, permeable block paving often starts around £110–£160 per m², while resin bound is commonly £120–£180 per m². Gravel or grass grids can be £70–£120 per m², and porous concrete may be £140–£220 per m². Edging, steps, lighting, and drainage integration can increase the total.
Most domestic jobs take 3–7 working days, depending on size and complexity. A small front garden parking area may be completed in 3–4 days, while larger driveways with steps, retaining edges or multiple levels can take a week or more. Timescales are affected by excavation depth, skip access, curing time for certain materials, and any drainage or SuDS features required. We confirm a programme after the survey.
Often, no—many driveway and front garden surfaces are permitted development if they are permeable or drain to a permeable area within your boundary. However, rules can change with listed buildings, conservation considerations, or major alterations to levels and boundaries. We’ll check the key requirements for your address in the London Borough of Lambeth and advise if a planning application is sensible. Our designs prioritise SuDS compliance to keep things straightforward.
We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty on our permeable paving installations, covering issues such as sinking caused by incorrect sub-base build-up, poor compaction, or faulty installation. Manufacturer warranties may also apply to specific products like resin systems or blocks, depending on the brand chosen. The warranty assumes normal domestic use and reasonable maintenance, such as keeping the surface clear of debris and avoiding oil spill staining where possible.
We offer permeable block paving in a range of colours and laying patterns, resin bound for a seamless contemporary look, and porous concrete for hard-wearing areas. For greener or more flexible spaces, grass grids and gravel grids work well and help with flood reduction. We can add contrasting borders, kerb edgings, step details and drainage integration where needed. We’ll bring samples and recommend finishes that suit your property and budget.
