Woolwich sees heavy rain and hardstanding around homes, so poor drainage quickly becomes puddles, algae and slippery paths. Our permeable paving solutions let water soak through the surface and into a designed sub-base, reducing surface run-off. We regularly work around Royal Arsenal and Woolwich Town Centre, creating driveways and front gardens that stay usable in wet weather. Every installation is planned to suit your layout, levels and access.
Across SE18 you’ll find Victorian terraces with compact front gardens, converted arsenal buildings with shared courtyards, and modern apartments needing durable, low-maintenance entrances. We tailor permeable paving to tight plots, sloping thresholds and existing steps, keeping finishes crisp and practical. If you’re in Plumstead, Charlton or Thamesmead, we’ll match the surface to the property style and expected foot or vehicle traffic. The result is a premium look with day-to-day reliability.
We start with a site survey, level checks and a drainage plan, then recommend the right permeable build-up for your ground conditions. Installation includes proper excavation, geotextiles, graded sub-base, edge restraints and careful compaction for long-term stability. We keep you informed throughout, protect surrounding areas, and leave the site clean and safe. Homeowners choose us for straightforward advice, high-end finishes and workmanship backed by a 10-year warranty.
Woolwich streets can mean restricted parking, narrow access and timed deliveries, so we plan logistics carefully and minimise disruption. Ground conditions vary near the Thames, so we design sub-bases and drainage integration to suit local saturation risk. We’re familiar with requirements for permeable paving in Royal Borough of Greenwich and build with SuDS compliance in mind. Whether you’re near the Woolwich Ferry or Abbey Wood, we adapt levels and falls to protect thresholds and neighbouring boundaries.

Costs depend on the surface type, excavation depth and drainage design. As a guide, permeable block paving is often around £120–£180 per m², resin bound typically £90–£150 per m², and gravel or grass grids commonly £60–£120 per m². Prices can rise where access is tight, spoil removal is complex, or you need extra groundwork to correct levels and falls.
Most domestic jobs take 2–5 days from excavation to final finish, depending on size and material. A small front garden in SE18 may be completed in a couple of days, while larger driveways or multi-level areas can take a week. Timescales are affected by access, waste removal, weather, curing time (for resin or concrete), and whether we’re integrating new drainage channels or soakaway features.
In many cases, driveways and front gardens are permitted development if the surface is permeable or drains to a permeable area within your boundary. That’s one reason homeowners choose permeable systems. However, rules can vary for listed buildings, conservation areas, or where changes affect highways or trees. We’ll advise during the survey and can help you check any Royal Borough of Greenwich requirements before work starts.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for permeable paving installations, covering issues such as sinking caused by poor sub-base preparation, unstable edges, or drainage performance problems linked to our build. It doesn’t cover damage from third-party works, oil spills, or misuse such as excessive loads beyond domestic vehicles. We also explain maintenance steps to keep pores clear and the surface performing as designed.
We offer permeable block paving in a range of colours and laying patterns, resin bound finishes with natural aggregates, porous concrete for clean modern looks, and practical systems like grass grids or gravel grids. We can add drainage integration, edging details, and subtle level changes to suit steps and thresholds. For the permeable paving Woolwich area, we’ll recommend options based on traffic, shade, maintenance preferences and the style of your home.
