Greenwich homeowners often need driveway surfaces that cope with heavy downpours without sending water onto the pavement. We design and install permeable solutions near Greenwich Park and Maze Hill that help reduce surface water run-off and puddling. Whether you’re replacing tired tarmac or reworking a front garden, we’ll specify the right SuDS approach for your plot. We also consider kerb levels, thresholds and safe falls to protect your property.
Across SE10 you’ll find Georgian townhouses, Victorian villas and modern waterfront apartments, each with different access and drainage challenges. Period homes in Blackheath and Deptford often have narrow approaches and heritage-sensitive detailing, while newer developments may require tidy, low-maintenance finishes. We match materials to the architecture, from traditional permeable blocks to sleek resin bound surfaces. Our team plans the build around parking needs and neighbour access to keep disruption down.
We start with a site survey, levels check and drainage design, then recommend permeable paving, gravel grids or resin bound with an appropriate sub-base and soakaway system. You’ll receive a clear written scope, staged programme and straightforward maintenance guidance. Our workmanship is backed by a 10-year warranty, and we use proven installation methods to avoid sinking, rutting and blocked permeability. Local clients choose us for tidy sites, consistent communication and finishes that stay sharp year after year.
The Royal Borough of Greenwich includes varied ground conditions, from made-up urban soils to heavier clay pockets that need careful soakaway sizing. Parking pressure and controlled access near Charlton and central SE10 can affect deliveries and waste removal, so we plan logistics tightly. We also factor in boundary walls, basement lightwells and tree roots where properties sit close to mature planting. Our approach keeps drainage compliant without compromising the look of period frontages.

Costs in Greenwich vary with size, access and the SuDS build-up required. As a guide, permeable block paving often starts around £120–£180 per m², resin bound typically £90–£160 per m², and gravel grids commonly £60–£110 per m². Soakaways, channel details and excavation/waste removal can add £800–£3,000+. We provide a site-specific quotation after a survey and levels check.
Most installations take 3–7 working days for a typical single or double driveway, including excavation, sub-base, edging and surfacing. Larger areas, complex falls, steps or additional drainage features can extend this to 1–2 weeks. Resin bound systems may need suitable dry weather and curing time, while permeable blocks are less weather-sensitive. Timescales also depend on access for machinery and skip placement in SE10 streets.
Many front driveways are permitted development if they use a permeable surface or direct water to a permeable area within your boundary. However, rules can change for listed buildings, conservation areas, or where alterations affect highway drainage. We check your proposal against current guidance and advise on SuDS-compliant options that usually avoid the need for an application. If permission is required, we can supply drawings and specifications to support it.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for our SuDS driveway installations, covering issues such as settlement caused by inadequate preparation, edging failure and drainage performance related to our build. Manufacturer warranties may also apply to specific products like resin systems or paving blocks. The warranty assumes normal use and appropriate maintenance, such as keeping permeable joints clear and avoiding oil contamination. We’ll explain care steps at handover.
Popular options include permeable block paving in traditional or contemporary colours, resin bound stone blends for a seamless finish, and gravel stabilisation grids for a classic look with better traction. We can incorporate contrasting borders, recessed manhole covers, lighting conduits and planting pockets for kerb appeal. After assessing levels and drainage routes, we’ll recommend the best SuDS build-up and help you choose colours and patterns that suit your home’s style.
