West Dulwich homeowners want driveways that cope with heavy rain without puddles or runoff. Near West Dulwich station and Belair Park, we regularly see front gardens where water needs to be managed carefully to protect paths, basements and neighbouring plots. Our SuDS solutions use permeable surfaces and properly planned sub-bases to let water soak through safely. The result is a driveway that looks premium and performs year-round.
SE21 streets include Victorian villas, Edwardian houses and period conversions with distinctive brickwork and boundary details. We design finishes that complement these façades, from subtle resin tones to traditional-looking permeable block paving. Access can be tight, and many homes have existing steps, lightwells or mature planting to work around. Our suds compliant driveways West Dulwich area service is tailored to these real-world constraints, not a one-size-fits-all layout.
We start with a site survey, levels check and drainage plan, then recommend the right SuDS build-up for your soil and slope. Installation is carried out by our in-house team with clean edges, correct falls and a robust sub-base, followed by a full handover and care advice. You’ll get clear documentation for planning compliance where needed, plus straightforward communication throughout. Local homeowners choose us because we turn drainage problems into a durable, high-end finish.
Across the London Borough of Lambeth, we often find mixed ground conditions and older drainage runs that need careful integration. In West Dulwich, narrow crossovers, on-street parking and mature trees near Dulwich Wood can affect access and root protection zones. We plan deliveries, waste removal and working hours to keep disruption down, and we set levels precisely to protect thresholds and air bricks. We also advise on suds compliant driveways in London Borough of Lambeth requirements and documentation.

Costs vary with size, access and the SuDS build-up required. As a guide, permeable block paving often falls around £120–£180 per m², resin bound surfaces typically £90–£150 per m², and gravel grids commonly £60–£110 per m². Soakaway systems, edging, steps and drainage design can add to the total. We provide a detailed, itemised quote after a site survey in SE21.
Most installations take 3–7 working days, depending on driveway size and the amount of excavation needed. Resin bound systems may be quicker once the base is prepared, while permeable paving can take longer due to detailing and cuts. Timescales are affected by access, waste removal, weather, and whether we’re adding soakaways or regrading levels. We’ll confirm a realistic programme before work starts and keep you updated daily.
Many front driveways are permitted development if the surface is permeable or drains to a permeable area within your property, which is exactly what SuDS aims to achieve. However, rules can change with conservation areas, listed buildings, new crossovers, or alterations near highways. We check the relevant Lambeth guidance, confirm whether your design meets SuDS criteria, and advise if an application is sensible. Our designs prioritise compliance from day one.
We provide a 10-year warranty covering installation workmanship, including sub-base preparation, levels, edging stability and surface integrity when used and maintained correctly. Manufacturer warranties may also apply to specific materials such as resin systems or paving. The warranty doesn’t cover accidental damage, oil contamination, or issues caused by third-party alterations or blocked drains. We’ll explain maintenance steps to keep permeability and performance at their best.
Popular options include permeable block paving in traditional or contemporary colours, resin bound stone blends for a seamless finish, and gravel grids for a classic look with better stability. We can also incorporate contrasting borders, recessed channels, step details and discreet soakaway systems where needed. During the survey we assess slope, soil and usage, then recommend a layout that balances appearance, parking practicality and drainage performance for your property.
