Permeable Paving: Click here to view our range
Permeable paving is an eco-friendly, sustainable and durable solution for protecting your commercial area from flooding or pooling water, by providing a sustainable water drainage system. Our permeable paving allows water to soak through the surface, releasing it into the ground. In recent years, poor water management has led to flooding of businesses, which can now be avoided.
Our Brett concrete permeable paving has been designed to achieve a high permeability, while enhancing the structural integrity of the surface. With modular paving blocks and an interlocking spacer nib, there is the correct joint spacing for efficient water flow. This works for projects big or small. Our three sustainable permeable paving collections have a range of integrated accessories and products, including kerbs, chippings and circles.

Brett Landscaping scores high marks with Heathside school installations
Brett Landscaping’s premium Invicta products have been used to create a range of walkways and modern hard landscaped areas for pupils of a new school in Surrey to use and enjoy.
Heathside School is a new comprehensive school, opened in September 2022, serving the communities of Walton on Thames and Molesey. The capacity of the school is 900, with the first two year groups in the school currently enjoying a state of the art, modern environment for education.
Brett Landscaping supplied the school with more than 2,100 square metres of Invicta products, to create the external walkways and paths between school buildings. The products were supplied in a range of finishes including Citrine (black fleck), Natural, Pearl and Onyx.
The Pearl and Onyx Invicta products were used to create a theatre style terrace in the main school yard, and a range of external communal areas for pupils to gather during their school day.
Central to the project was a pathway running through the main school buildings that involved a detailed design.
Brett Landscaping’s technical team helped contractors with the design and the laying pattern to ensure the final look and layout worked well with the other products and systems used across the school’s public spaces.
Brett Landscaping worked with BAM Construction on the project, during the first half of 2023 to supply products that could meet the high-quality design specification, the vision of the architect and client. The Brett team was able to identify project savings through the product manufacturing schedule, delivery timelines and working with the contractors for effective installation.
Nolan White, National Sales Manager for Brett Landscaping, said:
“Our Invicta products were ideal for the client’s vision of providing large areas of hard-wearing communal areas with a modern feel.
“This school has been designed to the highest specification to stand the test of time and the rigours of a 900-pupil institution serving the community five days a week for most of the year, and our products will provide a key element of maintaining the fresh look and feel of the external areas of the site even as the years go by.”
Redevelopment of Wellington Town Centre: Invicta Block Paving
Last year Brett collaborated with Telford and Wrekin Council to transform Market Street, Wellington, and improve the high street experience for residents and visitors.
With the council committing £450, 000 to the redevelopment, this project aligned with their wider £35m ‘Pride in Our Community‘ investment programme, aimed at creating a better borough through investments that protect, care, and connect neighbourhoods.
The Client
The project involved pavement resurfacing, widening the footpath, replacing kerbs, and installing new drainage with the aim of improving the aesthetics and accessibility of the area.
The council sought a solution that would enhance the town centre while still maintaining a one-way system with parking for shoppers and loading provisions for local businesses.
The Challenge
The redevelopment presented several challenges. The chosen solution needed to withstand the high volume of pedestrian traffic while maintaining its visual appeal.
The council required a paving solution that would offer longevity, durability, and vibrant colours to create a welcoming environment. The integration of the drainage system with the road kerbs required careful planning and expertise to ensure a seamless and fully functional result.
The Solution
The council selected our Invicta block paving, which was specified for its exceptional qualities. Invicta’s unique ‘Agg Tech’ surface layer offers a hardwearing surface that can withstand the heavy footfall in the town centre while retaining its vivid colour.
Our technical team recommended Invicta Pearl (60mm) block paving to be used in conjunction with Onyx 80mm pavers. The colour schemes complemented each other extremely well, further enhancing the visual appeal.
Our design team produced bespoke cross sections for the installation of the drainage channel block and its integration with the road kerbs. The channels run from the shop fronts to the conservation kerb and acted as a demarcation and rigid lateral restraint across the footpaths. This required bedding in mortar to take up the differences in the depth of the blocks.
All Brett block paving is fully compliant with British Standards for physical performance ratings, BREEAM ratings, sustainability credentials, and Responsible Sourcing Certifications.

The Result
Brett’s dedicated team provided bespoke advice, guidance, and products tailored to the project’s requirements within tight deadlines.
By choosing our Invicta block paving, Telford and Wrekin Council achieved a durable and aesthetically pleasing solution that entirely fulfilled their objectives for the redevelopment. The completed project exemplifies the positive impact that can be achieved through the use of high-quality products in city centre revitalisation projects.
