From Camberwell Green to Denmark Hill station, homeowners in SE5 want driveways that look authentic and perform in all weathers. Our cobbled surfaces are hand-laid for a refined finish, whether you prefer traditional patterns or a cleaner, modern layout. We integrate edging and drainage so the driveway stays stable, tidy and puddle-free. If your existing setts have sunk or spread, we also offer careful restoration.
Camberwell’s mix of Georgian townhouses, Victorian terraces and contemporary apartments calls for thoughtful detailing. We match cobble size, colour and laying pattern to the architecture, keeping the frontage in proportion and the entrance practical. For tighter plots and shared access near Peckham or Brixton, we design turning space and thresholds to reduce tyre scuffing and loose stones. The result is a driveway that feels original to the property, not bolted on.
We start with a site survey, levels check and a clear plan for falls, channels and permeable options where needed. Every build uses a robust sub-base, correct bedding, and careful jointing to lock the surface together. You’ll get a written specification, tidy working practices, and straightforward communication from start to finish. Local clients choose us for dependable scheduling, clean edges, and workmanship that stands up to daily use.
Front gardens in Camberwell often have limited access, on-street parking constraints, and mature tree roots that affect levels. We plan deliveries, waste removal and working hours to minimise disruption, and we set accurate falls to manage heavy rainfall. In the London Borough of Southwark, we also consider sustainable drainage expectations and advise on permeable build-ups where appropriate. Our layouts suit both period streets and newer developments around King’s College Hospital.

Costs in SE5 vary mainly by materials, excavation depth, drainage and access. As a guide, professionally installed cobblestone or sett driveways often range from about £180–£320 per m², with granite setts typically at the higher end. Restoration and re-laying can be more economical, often £90–£180 per m² depending on how much sub-base work is needed. We provide a detailed, itemised quote after a site visit.
Most installations take around 5–10 working days for an average front driveway, including excavation, sub-base, laying, cutting, jointing and finishing details. Larger areas, complex patterns, steps, or extensive drainage can extend this to 2–3 weeks. Timescales also depend on access for machinery, whether spoil can be removed easily, and curing time for certain bedding or jointing systems. We confirm a realistic programme before starting.
In many cases, a new or replacement driveway is permitted development, but rules can apply where surface water would run onto the highway or where properties are in conservation areas. Using permeable construction or directing runoff to a soakaway usually helps meet requirements. We’ll assess levels, drainage routes and materials and flag any planning or council considerations early. If approvals are needed, we can support you with the information you’ll need.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for our cobblestone driveway installations, covering issues such as settlement caused by inadequate sub-base preparation, edge failure, or joint breakdown under normal domestic use. It doesn’t cover damage from heavy commercial vehicles, accidental impact, or third-party alterations. We also give clear maintenance guidance to keep joints stable and the surface looking its best. Any snagging is handled promptly and professionally.
We offer natural cobbles, granite setts and Belgian block in a range of tones, from silvery greys to warmer mixed hues. Popular designs include fan patterns, coursed setts, random cobbles, contrasting soldier-course borders and clean modern grids. We can add kerb edging, recessed channels, and thresholds that suit your entrance. For cobblestone driveways Camberwell area homes often choose, we’ll bring samples and propose layouts that complement the house and improve day-to-day parking.
