Those sudden downpours turning your driveway into a swimming pool? Permeable paving lets rainwater drain naturally through the surface, keeping your property dry whilst helping Sutton's drainage systems cope better.
Response within 24 hours
Victorian terraces in SM1 weren't built for today's rainfall intensity. Modern permeable surfaces solve waterlogging issues that plague so many properties across Sutton. Whether you're dealing with puddling near your garage or runoff affecting neighbouring gardens, there's a sustainable solution that actually looks brilliant too. Local planning increasingly favours these environmentally-conscious installations.
Rainwater seeps through specially designed gaps between blocks into a sub-base aggregate layer below. This clever engineering prevents surface water accumulation whilst filtering pollutants naturally. The system connects seamlessly with existing drainage or creates standalone soakaways perfect for Sutton's clay-heavy soil conditions. Installation depth varies between 300-450mm depending on your specific ground conditions and expected traffic load.
Ten years installing permeable systems across Cheam, Carshalton and Wallington means understanding exactly which products suit Sutton's unique geology. Every quote includes proper ground assessment because what works in sandy Wallington soil differs vastly from dense SM2 clay.
