Those heavy downpours hitting Thornton Heath gardens aren't going anywhere. Transform your waterlogged driveway into a surface that actually works with London's unpredictable weather, not against it.

Victorian terraces along Brigstock Road know the struggle – narrow front gardens turned into concrete slabs that flood every autumn. Modern permeable paving changes the game entirely. Rain filters through specialised joints and aggregates, feeding your garden's water table rather than overwhelming street drains. Perfect for CR7's mix of period properties and newer builds dealing with increasingly strict planning regulations.
Installation starts with excavating down to stable ground, typically 300-400mm in Thornton Heath's London clay. A geotextile membrane prevents soil migration whilst allowing water through. Sub-base layers of angular aggregate create underground storage chambers. The surface blocks interlock without traditional mortar, gaps filled with fine granite chips that maintain permeability for decades.
Twenty years transforming South London driveways gives perspective on what actually matters. Local knowledge beats flashy marketing every time – understanding CR7's drainage quirks, working around mature street trees, navigating council requirements specific to our conservation areas.

Most Victorian terrace fronts in CR7 run between £3,500-£5,500 for full permeable installation. Larger drives near Norbury Park might reach £8,000-£12,000 depending on existing drainage complications.
Absolutely – from Selhurst's railway cottages to South Norwood's leafy avenues, plus Broad Green's commercial properties. Basically anywhere within reasonable reach of CR7.
Standard residential drives take 4-6 days from first dig to final sweep. Weather permitting, naturally – Thornton Heath isn't exactly California!
Ten-year guarantee covers material defects and workmanship. Annual maintenance visits keep joints clear of debris, ensuring water infiltration rates stay optimal throughout the warranty period.
Commercial-grade permeable blocks support vehicles up to 7.5 tonnes when properly installed. The key lies in adequate sub-base depth and compaction – something we calculate specifically for each project's requirements.
