Many homes here are modern high-rise apartments, waterfront developments and penthouses, where entrances, forecourts and private parking bays need a refined, hard-wearing surface. We’re regularly asked for cobblestone driveways Canary Wharf area that look premium without feeling overly rustic. For properties around Isle of Dogs and Poplar, we tailor levels and thresholds to suit basements, podium decks, and shared access routes. Where space is tight, we optimise turning circles and edging to keep lines crisp.
Our process starts with a site survey, levels check and drainage plan, followed by a clear written specification. We excavate properly, build a stable sub-base, then lay setts with accurate falls and robust restraints to prevent creep. If you have an existing surface, we can restore and re-lay sections, replacing damaged stones and refreshing joints. Homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, clean handovers, and workmanship backed by a 10-year warranty.
Access and deliveries in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets can be time-sensitive, so we plan loading, waste removal and working hours carefully. In E14, we often work around managed developments, parking controls and concierge requirements. Ground conditions and existing slabs can vary on waterfront sites, so we assess levels and specify the right sub-base and drainage. The result is a driveway that performs well and looks sharp against modern façades.

Costs vary with stone type, access and groundworks. As a guide, cobblestone/sett driveways typically start around £150–£250 per m² for straightforward installations, rising to £250–£400+ per m² for premium granite setts, complex patterns, steps, or challenging access common in E14 developments. Drainage channels, edging restraints and excavation depth can also affect the total. We provide a detailed, itemised quotation after a site visit.
Most installations take 5–10 working days, depending on size and complexity. A small parking bay might be completed in under a week, while larger areas with intricate patterns, multiple levels or extensive drainage can take two weeks or more. Timescales are influenced by excavation depth, curing time for bedding and haunching, and access constraints in managed Canary Wharf developments. We confirm a realistic programme before starting.
Often, driveway works are permitted development, but rules can apply around surface-water drainage and changes to access. If the new surface is non-permeable, you may need compliant drainage to a suitable soakaway or system rather than the public sewer. Flats and managed developments can also have freeholder or estate requirements. We’ll advise on the typical Tower Hamlets considerations and help you confirm permissions before work begins.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our cobblestone driveway installation workmanship. This covers issues such as settlement caused by inadequate sub-base preparation, edge restraint failure, and loose or rocking setts due to installation defects. It doesn’t cover accidental damage, heavy vehicle loading beyond the agreed specification, or problems caused by third-party alterations. We also explain aftercare for jointing and cleaning to keep the finish looking its best.
You can choose natural cobbles, granite setts, or Belgian block in a range of tones from silver-grey to charcoal and warm blends.

We can add contrasting borders, soldier-course edging, and discreet drainage channels. We’ll bring samples, discuss slip resistance and maintenance, and recommend a layout that suits your access and frontage.
