Heavy downpours can overwhelm older drainage, especially around the Lee Green crossroads and the busy routes near Leegate Shopping Centre. Our SuDS-ready driveway solutions let water soak through the surface and into the ground safely, rather than spilling onto the pavement or towards your property. We design each build to control runoff, reduce puddling and support flood prevention. Every installation is tailored to your plot, levels and access.
Lee Green’s Victorian terraces, Edwardian semis and 1930s houses often have short front gardens and sloping approaches that need careful falls and edge detailing. We’re used to working with existing steps, bay windows, shared access and tight parking arrangements common across SE12. Whether you’re close to Lee station or bordering Blackheath and Hither Green, we specify materials that suit the look of the street. The result is a driveway that feels in keeping, not bolted on.
We start with a site survey, levels check and drainage design, then recommend the best SuDS approach for your budget and layout. Our team handles excavation, sub-base build-up, permeable layers, soakaway systems where needed, and a clean, tidy finish. You’ll get clear written scope, realistic timescales and workmanship backed by a 10-year warranty. Homeowners choose us because we communicate well, respect neighbours and deliver consistent standards.
Across the London Borough of Lewisham, driveway drainage rules can depend on where water discharges and how much hardstanding you add.

Costs vary with size, access, excavation depth and the SuDS solution required. As a guide, gravel grids often start around £90–£140 per m², permeable block paving typically £120–£200 per m², and resin bound surfaces commonly £140–£240 per m². Soakaways, extra drainage design, steps, walls or lighting can add to the total. We provide a detailed, itemised quote after a site visit in SE12.
Most installations take around 3–7 working days, depending on area size and how much excavation is needed. Resin bound systems may be quicker on straightforward sites, while permeable paving can take longer due to edging, cuts and detailing. Timescales also change if we’re adding soakaway systems, rebuilding walls, or correcting levels near the house. We confirm a schedule before starting and keep disruption as low as possible.
Many driveway upgrades are permitted development if the surface is permeable or the runoff drains to a permeable area within your property. Planning permission may be needed if you’re creating non-permeable hardstanding that discharges to the street, or if your home is in a conservation area with extra constraints. We check the requirements, advise on compliant options, and can help with drawings or supporting details where an application is sensible.
We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty on our driveway installations, covering issues such as sub-base failure, poor falls that cause persistent ponding, and defects linked to our installation methods. Manufacturer warranties may also apply to specific products, such as resin systems or paving blocks. The warranty assumes normal domestic use and basic maintenance, like keeping permeable joints and surfaces clear of heavy silt and debris.
Popular choices include permeable block paving in traditional colours for Victorian and Edwardian homes, resin bound stone for a seamless modern finish, and gravel grids for a softer look with strong load support. We can also integrate soakaway systems, discreet channel drains and edging details to match your paths or front wall. We’ll help you choose based on drainage performance, maintenance, kerb appeal and budget for the suds compliant driveways lee green area.
