Tulse Hill’s mix of Victorian streets and well-used front gardens often needs paving that can cope with heavy rain without puddling. Our permeable paving solutions let water pass through the surface and into a prepared sub-base, helping reduce runoff. We regularly work near Tulse Hill station and around Brockwell Park, where reliable drainage matters after downpours. If you’re in SW2 and want a smarter, drier entrance, we’ll design a surface that suits your home.
Local properties range from Victorian terraces and Edwardian houses to post-war estates such as the Tulse Hill Estate, each with different access and levels. We tailor excavation depths and sub-base build-ups to match your site conditions and intended use, whether it’s a family driveway or a low-maintenance front garden. For tighter frontages and shared paths, we plan falls carefully and keep edges crisp. This is permeable paving Tulse Hill area homeowners choose when they want performance without compromising kerb appeal.
We start with a site survey, levels check and drainage assessment, then recommend the best permeable system for your budget and style. Every installation includes proper ground preparation, compaction and drainage integration, with tidy handover and care guidance. You’ll get clear scheduling, respectful working practices, and workmanship backed by a 10-year warranty. Being only 10 minutes away means fast follow-ups and dependable support throughout the project.
Across the London Borough of Lambeth, many streets have limited parking and narrow access, so we plan deliveries, waste removal and working hours carefully. Ground conditions can vary between compacted garden soils and made-up ground near older terraces, so we adjust sub-base depth and geotextile layers accordingly. We also set levels to protect thresholds and air bricks, common on Victorian homes around Herne Hill and West Norwood. Our approach keeps your surface compliant, practical and built to last.

Costs depend on the surface type, excavation depth, access, and how much groundwork is needed. As a guide, permeable block paving often ranges from £110–£170 per m², resin bound from £90–£150 per m², and gravel/grass grids from £60–£110 per m². Poor access near SW2 terraces, removal of old concrete, or extra drainage integration can increase the overall price.
Most front garden driveways take around 3–7 working days, while larger areas or complex designs can take 1–2 weeks. Timescales depend on excavation volumes, spoil removal logistics, edging and step details, and curing time for resin bound or porous concrete. Weather also plays a part, especially for resin installations. We confirm a realistic schedule after a site visit and levels check.
In many cases, a new or replacement driveway is permitted development if it uses a permeable surface or directs water to a suitable permeable area within your boundary. However, rules can change for listed buildings, conservation areas, or where alterations affect highways or trees. We’ll advise on SuDS compliance and drainage design, and we can help you check Lambeth requirements before work starts.
We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty on our permeable paving installations, covering issues linked to installation quality such as sinking caused by inadequate base preparation or edge restraint failure. Materials may also carry manufacturer warranties, depending on the product chosen. The warranty doesn’t cover accidental damage, oil spills left untreated, or problems caused by third-party alterations. We also share maintenance guidance to keep the surface performing well.
Popular choices include permeable block paving in contemporary or period colours, resin bound for a smooth, modern finish, porous concrete for hard-wearing areas, and grass or gravel grids for a greener look. We can add contrasting borders, soldier courses, and discreet channel details where needed. After assessing your levels and usage, we’ll recommend the best system and finish to suit your home’s style and day-to-day needs.
