Blackheath’s wide streets and mature plots near Blackheath Common look their best with a driveway that stays clean, level and puddle-free. Our SuDS solutions let rainfall soak through the surface rather than spilling onto the pavement. From Blackheath Village to SE3 side roads, we design driveways that suit period front gardens and modern parking needs. The result is a compliant, attractive entrance that performs in heavy downpours.
We regularly work on Georgian townhouses, Victorian villas and period conversions around The Paragon and the surrounding conservation-minded streets. These properties often need careful detailing: crisp edges, sympathetic colours and minimal disruption to existing brickwork and planting. Many front gardens also have limited fall, so drainage design matters as much as the finish. Our suds compliant driveways Blackheath area service is built around those local constraints.
We start with a site survey, levels check and a clear drainage plan, then recommend the best permeable build-up for your driveway. Installation is handled by our in-house team, with tidy working practices and a written schedule so you know what happens when. We provide transparent specifications, proper sub-base depths and tested permeability where required. Homeowners choose us for reliable communication, durable workmanship and a 10-year warranty.
Across the Royal Borough of Greenwich/London Borough of Lewisham boundary, requirements and enforcement can vary, so we check the right guidance before work starts. Blackheath plots can have mixed ground conditions and mature tree roots, which affects excavation depth and soakaway placement. Access and parking restrictions near village streets mean deliveries and waste removal must be planned carefully. We tailor materials, edging and levels to suit period frontages without compromising permeability.

Costs vary by size, excavation depth and the surface you choose. As a guide, gravel grid systems often start around £90–£140 per m², permeable block paving is commonly £130–£220 per m², and resin bound tends to be £140–£250 per m². Soakaway systems, drainage design and edging details can add to the total. We provide a measured quote after a site survey in SE3.
Most installations take 3–7 working days for a typical single or double driveway, including excavation, sub-base, edging and the permeable surface. Larger driveways, complex falls, or adding a soakaway can extend this to 1–2 weeks. Weather, access for skips and deliveries, and curing times (especially for resin bound) also affect the schedule. We confirm timings once levels and ground conditions are checked.
Many front driveways are permitted development if the surface is permeable or water drains to a permeable area within your boundary. However, rules can change in conservation areas and for listed buildings, which are relevant around parts of Blackheath. We’ll advise on SuDS requirements, check constraints, and help you choose a compliant design. If permission or prior approval is needed, we can support with drawings and specifications.
We provide a 10-year warranty covering workmanship and installation defects, including issues such as settlement from incorrect sub-base build-up, poor edging restraint, or drainage failures caused by installation. Manufacturer warranties may also apply to specific products (such as resin systems or paving). The warranty assumes normal domestic use and basic maintenance, like keeping the surface free of heavy silt build-up. Full terms are provided with your quote.
Popular options include permeable block paving in heritage tones, resin bound surfaces for a smooth contemporary look, and gravel grids for a traditional finish with strong stability. We can also integrate soakaway systems, permeable sub-bases and edge detailing to suit Georgian and Victorian façades. During design, we’ll assess levels, parking needs and kerb appeal, then recommend colours, borders and layouts that meet SuDS performance and planning expectations.
