Response within 24 hours
Earl’s Court homeowners often want a driveway that looks established, not newly installed. Our cobblestone and sett paving is designed to complement the area’s Victorian architecture around Earl’s Court tube station and Philbeach Gardens. We create durable surfaces with character, from traditional patterns to clean modern layouts. Every build includes careful levels, edging and drainage integration to keep the finish looking sharp.
We regularly work across SW5 and nearby Kensington and West Brompton, where access can be tight and detailing matters. Many properties are Victorian mansion conversions, period flats and garden square homes, so we plan designs that respect original façades and boundary lines. Whether you need a new entrance, a widened parking bay or a smarter forecourt, we tailor the layout to your vehicle use and site constraints. Restoration is also popular here, especially where older setts have sunk or spread over time.
Our process starts with a site visit and a clear written specification covering excavation depth, sub-base build-up and falls. We install robust foundations, align setts precisely, and finish with stable jointing for long-term performance. You’ll get straightforward scheduling, tidy working practices, and a 10-year workmanship warranty for peace of mind. Local homeowners choose us because we deliver consistent levels, clean edges and drainage that actually works.
In the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, we often factor in controlled parking, delivery windows and limited skip placement. Ground levels and basements can affect falls, so we design drainage routes carefully and keep thresholds safe. Many frontages are compact, so we plan set-out, turning space and edging to maximise usable parking without looking cramped. We also help you stay compliant with permeable surfacing rules where required.

Costs vary with access, excavation depth, drainage needs and the type of stone. As a guide in the Earl’s Court area, installed cobblestone or granite sett driveways commonly range from £180–£320 per m². Restoration and re-laying of existing setts is often £90–£180 per m², depending on how much sub-base repair is needed. We provide a detailed breakdown after a site survey in SW5.
Most cobblestone driveway projects take 5–10 working days once we start on site, depending on size and complexity. A small front forecourt may be completed in under a week, while larger areas with steps, edging details and drainage channels can take longer. Timescales are affected by access in SW5, waste removal logistics, and whether we’re doing full excavation or a restoration with re-levelling.
Many driveway and front garden surfacing works are permitted development, but rules can apply around drainage, permeability and conservation considerations. In RBKC, non-permeable surfacing over 5m² typically needs provision for water to drain to a permeable area or suitable system, not the highway. We check your site, advise on compliant drainage integration, and can support any approvals if your property has added restrictions.
We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty on our cobblestone driveway installations, covering issues such as settlement caused by incorrect sub-base build, poor levels, or jointing failures. Materials are supplied from reputable sources and may carry their own manufacturer guarantees where applicable. The warranty does not cover damage from heavy construction vehicles, oil spills left untreated, or movement caused by underlying structural issues we couldn’t reasonably identify.
We install natural cobbles, granite setts and Belgian block in a range of sizes and tones, from silver-grey to warmer mixes. Popular designs include fan patterns, stretcher bond, basketweave and mixed-size random setts, with contrasting edging to frame the driveway. If you prefer a cleaner look, we can create modern layouts with tight lines and subtle borders. We’ll recommend options that suit your façade, parking needs and drainage plan.
