Those chalky slopes around Warlingham can turn driveways into rivers during heavy rain. Modern permeable surfaces solve drainage headaches whilst creating stunning entrances that complement everything from Victorian villas to contemporary builds.

Warlingham's hillside location presents unique challenges for traditional tarmac and concrete surfaces. Permeable paving systems channel rainwater directly through the surface, preventing those frustrating puddles that plague so many properties along Limpsfield Road and Farleigh Road. The technology has evolved dramatically, offering aesthetic options that rival conventional materials whilst delivering superior environmental performance.
Installation involves excavating existing surfaces, creating proper sub-base layers with specific aggregates, then laying interlocking permeable blocks or resin-bound surfaces. Each square metre can absorb up to 6,000 litres annually - crucial for properties dealing with surface water regulations. The process typically includes edge restraints, appropriate falls, and integration with existing drainage where needed.
Twenty years installing driveways across the North Downs gives invaluable insight into local ground conditions. Every CR6 project receives thorough site assessment, ensuring the chosen system suits both your property's needs and planning requirements.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
Typical CR6 installations range from £85-120 per square metre, depending on existing ground conditions and chosen materials. A standard two-car driveway usually falls between £4,500-7,000 inclusive.
Absolutely - from the Hamsey Green boundary right through to properties backing onto Blanchman's Farm. Regular projects span Chelsham, Whyteleafe, and central Warlingham.
Most residential driveways in Warlingham require 4-6 working days from excavation to completion, weather permitting. Larger or more complex installations may extend to 8-10 days.
Every installation carries comprehensive 10-year coverage against defects, settlement, and permeability loss. This includes annual inspections during years 1-3 to ensure optimal performance.
Basic maintenance involves occasional brushing and annual pressure washing to prevent sediment build-up. Unlike traditional surfaces, permeable systems actually improve with regular rainfall, naturally flushing through minor debris.
