Around The Oval cricket ground and Oval tube station, heavy downpours can quickly overwhelm older drainage and hardstanding. Our driveway solutions are built to let water soak through rather than run off into the street. We design and install permeable paving, resin bound surfaces and gravel grids that suit SE11 homes. The result is a cleaner finish with practical flood prevention built in.
Oval’s Georgian townhouses, Victorian terraces and mansion flats often come with compact front gardens and tight boundaries. That calls for careful levels, discreet drainage design and finishes that complement period brickwork and railings. We regularly work across Kennington and Vauxhall, where access and parking can be restrictive. Our team plans deliveries, waste removal and site set-up to keep disruption down.
We start with a site survey, checking falls, existing drains and likely soakaway locations. You’ll get a clear specification covering sub-base build-up, permeable layers and how runoff is managed. Installations are completed by experienced crews, with tidy working practices and reliable communication throughout. Homeowners choose us for suds compliant driveways oval area because the details are handled properly from day one.
In the London Borough of Lambeth, we often find mixed ground conditions and legacy drains on older streets. Narrow frontages near Kennington Park can limit excavation and storage, so we phase works and keep access safe. We also consider street levels, basement lightwells and boundary walls common to SE11 terraces. If needed, we’ll advise on documentation for suds compliant driveways in London Borough of Lambeth requirements.

Costs in SE11 vary by size, access and specification. As a guide, gravel grid systems often start around £90–£140 per m², while permeable block paving is commonly £120–£200 per m². Resin bound permeable surfaces typically range from £140–£240 per m². Soakaways, drainage design and excavation can add £800–£3,000+ depending on depth, spoil removal and constraints.
Most projects take 3–7 working days, depending on area, excavation depth and the chosen finish. A small front drive with gravel grids may be completed in 2–4 days, while permeable paving or resin bound systems with new edging and a soakaway can take 5–10 days. Timescales are affected by access near busy streets, utility covers, weather, and curing time for resin.
Many front garden driveways are permitted development if the surface is permeable or drains to a permeable area within your property. However, rules can change with conservation areas, listed buildings, or if you’re altering walls, gates or pavement crossings. We check the site details, advise on SuDS compliance, and help you understand Lambeth requirements before work starts, so there are no surprises.
We provide a 10-year warranty covering workmanship and installation defects on the driveway build-up, including sub-base preparation, levels and drainage components we install. Materials may also carry manufacturer warranties, depending on the product chosen. The warranty does not cover damage from third-party works, oil spills, or extreme misuse, but we’ll always advise on maintenance to keep the surface performing as designed.
Popular options include permeable block paving in heritage colours, resin bound stone blends for a seamless look, and gravel grids for a traditional finish with stability. We can incorporate discreet channel details, recessed manhole covers, edging in stone or brick, and planting breaks to soften the frontage. We’ll recommend the best system based on your property style, parking needs and how water will drain on site.
