Response within 24 hours
Honor Oak’s hilly streets and strong community deserve driveways that look the part and perform in wet weather. We create cobblestone surfaces using natural cobbles, granite setts and Belgian block, set out in traditional patterns or crisp modern layouts. Whether you’re near Honor Oak Park station or heading up towards One Tree Hill, we tailor levels and drainage to suit the site. Expect a finish that complements period brickwork and stands up to daily parking.
Local homes in SE23 range from Victorian terraces to Edwardian houses and 1930s semis, often with short front gardens and tight access. We design cobblestone driveways Honor Oak area homeowners can use comfortably, with sensible turning space, clean edges and durable sub-bases. Where original paving has sunk or spread, our restoration service re-levels and re-lays without losing the property’s character. We also match edging details to existing paths, steps and boundary walls.
Our process starts with a site survey, levels check and a clear proposal covering materials, patterns, edging and drainage integration. We excavate to the right depth, install a robust sub-base, then lay setts and cobbles with accurate falls to manage surface water. Work is kept tidy and scheduled to minimise disruption, and you’ll have a dedicated point of contact throughout. Homeowners choose us for consistent workmanship, transparent communication and a finish that lasts.
Honor Oak’s gradients and mixed ground conditions demand careful sub-base design and reliable falls. We plan access and deliveries around residential parking and narrow approaches, common near Forest Hill and Brockley borders. For cobblestone driveways in London Borough of Lewisham, we also factor in permeable drainage options where required and keep spoil removal compliant. The result is a driveway that suits local streetscapes and performs year-round.

Costs in SE23 vary mainly by area size, excavation depth, access, and the material chosen. As a guide, cobblestone or sett driveways often start around £180–£250 per m² for straightforward installations, rising to £260–£350+ per m² for premium granite setts, complex patterns, steps, or significant level changes. Drainage channels, edging and waste removal can affect the total. We provide a detailed, itemised quote after a site visit.
Most residential cobblestone driveways take around 5–10 working days from excavation to completion, depending on size and complexity. Smaller front gardens may be completed in under a week, while sloping plots or intricate traditional patterns can take longer. Timescales are influenced by access for machinery, the amount of groundworks required, drainage integration, and whether we’re also rebuilding steps or walls. We confirm a realistic programme before starting.
Many driveway projects are permitted development, but rules can apply where surface water is directed to the public sewer or highway. In Lewisham, using permeable construction or draining to a suitable soakaway is often the simplest route. If your property has restrictions, sits within a special designation, or you’re altering a boundary wall or access, permissions may be needed. We’ll advise during the survey and can help you check requirements before work begins.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for new cobblestone driveway installations, covering issues such as settlement caused by inadequate sub-base preparation, loose edging, or failed jointing attributable to installation. Natural materials can weather and develop patina over time, which is normal, but the structure should remain sound. We also give care guidance to help prevent staining and weed growth. Warranty terms are supplied in writing with your quote.
You can choose from natural cobbles, granite setts, and Belgian block in a range of tones to suit brickwork and render. Popular designs include fan patterns, stretcher bond, circular features, and cleaner modern layouts with contrasting borders. We also specify edging options such as granite kerbs or brick soldier courses, plus drainage channels where needed. During the survey, we bring samples and recommend a layout that fits levels, parking needs and your home’s style.
