Woolwich’s heavy downpours and hardstanding can quickly overwhelm old drainage, especially around SE18 near Woolwich Town Centre and the Royal Arsenal. Our SuDS-ready driveway builds keep water on your plot, filtering it back into the ground instead of pushing it onto the road. We install permeable paving, resin bound surfaces and gravel grid systems tailored to your layout. The result is a driveway that performs in wet weather and stays looking sharp year-round.
Across Woolwich and nearby Plumstead and Charlton, we regularly work on Victorian terraces with short front gardens, plus converted arsenal buildings and modern apartments with managed access. Each property type needs a different approach to levels, thresholds and parking needs. We design falls carefully to protect entrances and basements, and we plan turning space where kerbs and street parking are tight. Materials and edging details are chosen to suit period brickwork or contemporary façades.
We start with a site survey, then produce a clear drainage design showing how water will infiltrate via permeable sub-bases, soakaway systems or controlled outfalls where appropriate. You’ll get a written specification, tidy working practices and a schedule that minimises disruption. We use proven SuDS-compliant construction methods and quality aggregates to prevent clogging and rutting. Homeowners choose us for straightforward communication, reliable workmanship and a finish that lasts.
Ground conditions around Woolwich can vary, with made ground near redevelopment sites and tighter access on terrace streets. We plan deliveries, waste removal and parking so the job runs smoothly, even near busy routes like the Woolwich Ferry approaches. Our drainage design considers levels, damp-proof courses and existing services before excavation. If you’re in the suds compliant driveways Woolwich area, we’ll tailor construction depth and infiltration to your plot and soil.

Costs vary by size, access and the SuDS solution required. As a guide in SE18, permeable block paving often starts around £110–£160 per m², resin bound typically £120–£190 per m², and gravel grids can be £70–£120 per m². Soakaways, extra excavation, edging and steps can add £800–£3,000+. We provide a detailed written quote after a site survey.
Most projects take 3–7 working days, depending on area, excavation depth and the chosen surface. Resin bound and permeable paving need a properly prepared permeable sub-base, which can add time if ground is soft or levels need correcting. Soakaway systems and drainage design features may add 1–2 days. Restricted access, skip permits and weather can also affect the programme.
Many front driveways are permitted development if the surface is permeable or drains to a permeable area within your boundary. However, rules can change if you’re in a conservation area, altering access/kerbs, or working near listed buildings (relevant around historic Woolwich locations). We check the requirements and advise on compliant options, including permeable paving, resin bound systems and soakaway arrangements, so your scheme meets local expectations.
We provide a 10-year warranty covering installation workmanship, including sub-base construction, levels, drainage performance and surface integrity under normal residential use. Manufacturer warranties may also apply to specific products such as resin systems or paving. The warranty doesn’t cover abuse, oil/chemical spills left untreated, or damage from third-party works. We’ll explain maintenance steps to keep permeability performing over time.
Popular choices include permeable block paving in contemporary or traditional colours, resin bound surfaces with natural aggregates, and gravel grids for a softer look with strong load support. We can add contrasting borders, recessed drainage details, lighting ducts and secure edging. For suds compliant driveways in Royal Borough of Greenwich, we help you choose a finish that suits Victorian terraces or modern apartments while meeting drainage and planning expectations.
