Around Streatham Hill station and Christchurch Road, heavy downpours can overwhelm traditional sealed driveways and push water onto the pavement. Our SuDS-ready designs keep rainfall on your property by using permeable surfaces and properly sized soakaway systems. You get a smarter driveway that reduces surface water runoff and improves kerb appeal. We also plan levels and thresholds carefully to protect your entrance and lower ground floors.
Streatham Hill’s Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and mansion conversions often come with narrow front gardens, shared boundaries and tricky access. We’re used to working on sloping plots near Telford Park and managing drainage without compromising parking space. Whether you want a single-car bay or a wider forecourt, we tailor the build-up to suit existing walls, steps and damp-proof courses. Our finishes are chosen to complement brickwork, railings and period detailing.
We start with a site survey, drainage assessment and clear design options, then provide a written specification for materials and build-up. Every installation includes correct sub-base preparation, edge restraints and falls, plus a final clean-down and handover. Homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, respectful neighbours-first working practices and transparent communication. For peace of mind, we back our workmanship with a 10-year warranty.
We factor in Lambeth’s planning guidance and the practical realities of SW2 streets: limited parking, delivery restrictions and tight working space. Many properties have sloping approaches, older retaining walls and shallow service runs, so we plan levels and excavations carefully. Where clay-heavy ground slows infiltration, we design appropriate sub-bases and soakaway solutions. If your home sits near Brixton, Tulse Hill or West Norwood borders, we’ll match materials to neighbouring frontages and conservation considerations.

Costs vary by size, access and the drainage solution required. As a guide, permeable block paving is often around £90–£140 per m², resin bound surfaces typically £80–£130 per m², and gravel grids around £60–£110 per m². Soakaways and additional drainage design can add roughly £800–£2,500+. We’ll survey your SW2 property and provide a detailed, itemised estimate.
Most installations take 3–7 working days for a typical single to double driveway, depending on excavation depth, waste removal and access for materials. Resin bound systems may need extra time for curing, while larger permeable paving projects can take 1–2 weeks. Timescales also depend on weather, the need for a soakaway, and any steps, walls or edging repairs required.
In many cases, front driveways are permitted development if the surface is permeable or drains to a permeable area within your boundary. If you’re using non-permeable materials and directing water to the road, permission is more likely to be required. Rules can also change for conservation areas or listed buildings. We check the Lambeth requirements, advise on compliant designs, and can support any application if needed.
We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty covering installation defects such as sub-base failure, poor levels, and issues linked to our drainage build. Materials may also carry manufacturer guarantees, depending on the product chosen. The warranty assumes normal domestic use and that basic maintenance is followed, such as keeping permeable joints and surfaces free from heavy silt. We’ll explain care steps at handover.
Popular options include permeable block paving in traditional colours, resin bound gravel for a seamless finish, and gravel grids for a classic look with strong stabilisation. We can add contrasting soldier courses, edging kerbs, recessed manhole covers and step adjustments for a cleaner frontage. We’ll help you choose based on your home’s style, parking needs, slip resistance and how quickly your ground can absorb water.
