Catford homeowners are increasingly choosing driveway surfaces that handle heavy downpours without sending water onto the pavement. Whether you’re near Catford Broadway or walking past the Catford Cat statue, you’ll have seen how quickly surface water can build up after storms. Our solutions combine permeable paving, resin bound surfaces and smart drainage design to keep water where it should be. The result is a driveway that looks premium and performs year-round.
Across SE6, we work on Victorian terraces, 1930s semis and ex-council properties where front gardens are often converted into parking. Access can be tight, levels can be awkward, and existing concrete or tarmac may hide poor sub-bases. We tailor suds compliant driveways Catford area homeowners need, balancing kerb appeal with practical turning space and safe falls away from the house. We also design to suit nearby areas such as Hither Green and Bellingham, where plot sizes and gradients vary street to street.
Our process starts with a site survey, levels check and a clear drainage plan, then we recommend the best SuDS approach: permeable sub-base, gravel grids, or soakaway systems where appropriate. You’ll receive a written specification, tidy workmanship, and a schedule that respects neighbours and parking restrictions. We use proven materials, compacted bases and edge restraints to prevent rutting and movement. Homeowners choose us for straightforward advice, clean finishes and reliable aftercare.
In the London Borough of Lewisham, many streets around Mountsfield Park have mixed ground conditions and older drainage layouts. We factor in clay-heavy soils, existing manholes, and the need to keep water away from foundations. For narrow frontages and shared crossovers, we plan access, waste removal and deliveries to minimise disruption. Our drainage design prioritises SuDS performance while keeping the driveway practical for everyday parking.

Costs vary by size, excavation depth and the surface you choose. As a guide in SE6, permeable block paving often starts around £110–£160 per m², resin bound around £90–£140 per m², and gravel grids around £60–£110 per m². Soakaways, channel adjustments and sub-base upgrades can add £800–£2,500+. We provide an itemised quote after a site survey.
Most installations take 3–7 working days, depending on driveway size and what’s already there. Removing old concrete or tarmac, correcting levels, or installing a soakaway can extend the programme. Resin bound systems may need extra time for base preparation and curing, while permeable block paving is often quicker once the sub-base is in. We confirm timescales after checking access, skips and parking constraints.
Many front driveways are permitted development if you use a permeable surface or direct runoff to a permeable area within your property. If you plan non-permeable surfacing, changes to the kerb crossover, or work near protected features, extra permissions may apply. We advise on compliant options and can help you understand Lewisham’s requirements before work starts, so you avoid delays and rework.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for our driveway installations, covering issues such as sinking caused by inadequate compaction, edge restraint failure, and drainage defects linked to our build. Materials are also covered by manufacturer guarantees where applicable (for example, resin and paving products). The warranty assumes normal domestic use and that you follow basic care guidance, such as avoiding harsh chemicals and heavy point loads.
Popular choices include permeable block paving in contemporary or period colours, resin bound surfaces with natural aggregates, and gravel grids for a traditional look with better stability. We can add contrasting borders, step details, recessed lighting conduits, and planting strips that improve drainage and soften the frontage. We’ll recommend options based on your property style, parking needs, and how you want water to infiltrate or reach a soakaway.
