From Blackheath Village to the edges of Blackheath Common, cobbled driveways add a confident, timeless finish to SE3 homes. We install natural cobbles, granite setts and Belgian block with clean lines and careful levels. Whether you prefer traditional patterns or a sharper modern layout, we design the driveway to complement your frontage. Every build includes considered edging and drainage integration for year-round performance.
Blackheath’s Georgian townhouses, Victorian villas and period conversions often need driveway solutions that respect original character while improving day-to-day practicality. We regularly work across Greenwich, Lee and Kidbrooke, adapting setts, borders and thresholds to suit varied plot widths and entrances. If your existing surface has sunk, spread or become uneven, our restoration service can reset and re-point areas without unnecessary disruption. The result is a driveway that looks established, not newly “dropped in”.
We start with a site survey, levels check and a clear specification for sub-base, bedding and jointing. Our team handles excavation, waste removal and a tidy finish, keeping access and safety front of mind. You’ll receive a written 10-year warranty, plus practical care advice to keep joints stable and edges crisp. Homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, accurate setting-out and workmanship that stands up to London traffic and weather.
Parking controls and narrower approaches are common around SE3, so we plan deliveries and phased access carefully. Many properties have heritage character, especially near The Paragon and All Saints Church, so we specify setts and patterns that feel appropriate. Ground conditions and levels can vary between front gardens and pavements, so we design falls and channels to manage runoff. If needed, we coordinate with local requirements for crossings, drainage and waste removal.

We confirm a schedule after the site survey.

Rules can change if you’re creating a new vehicle crossover, altering the pavement kerb, or working on a listed building or within a conservation area. We advise on compliant drainage options (including permeable solutions) and can flag when council permissions are likely. For each job, we check the site constraints before work begins.
