From New Malden High Street to the quieter roads by Beverley Park, a cobbled driveway can transform how your frontage looks and works. We install natural cobbles, granite setts and Belgian block with patterns that suit both traditional and contemporary exteriors. Every build includes a considered sub-base and falls so rainwater is managed properly. If your existing surface has dipped or loosened, we also restore and re-lay setts to bring it back to life.
New Malden’s mix of 1930s semis, Edwardian houses and modern apartments calls for flexible design. We can create a period-appropriate look with traditional patterns, or a cleaner, modern layout that complements newer façades and shared entrances. Parking needs vary across KT3, especially where multiple cars are common, so we plan turning space and thresholds carefully. Our finishes are chosen to look right alongside brickwork, render and boundary walls typical of the area.
We start with a site survey, levels check and a clear written specification, then prepare a robust foundation before laying and compacting each sett. Edging is installed to lock the surface, and drainage integration is planned to help prevent puddling and settlement. You’ll have a named point of contact, tidy working practices, and workmanship backed by our 10-year warranty. Local homeowners recommend us for straight answers, accurate setting-out and clean, durable results.
We’re used to access constraints and on-street parking around Raynes Park, Motspur Park and Kingston, so we plan deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption. Ground conditions can vary, which is why we assess levels, existing sub-bases and drainage routes before we start. We also account for dropped kerbs, thresholds and shared drive arrangements common on suburban streets. If council guidance affects drainage or crossovers, we’ll flag it early and help you stay compliant.

Costs depend on area size, excavation depth, access, and the stone you choose. As a guide, cobblestone driveways new malden area projects often fall around £180–£320 per m² for quality setts on a proper sub-base, edging and jointing. Restoration can be lower, typically £90–£180 per m², depending on how much lifting and re-bedding is needed. We provide a detailed, itemised quote after a site visit.
Most installations take 5–10 working days, depending on size, excavation requirements and the complexity of the pattern. A smaller single-car drive may be completed within a week, while larger frontages with steps, curves, edging and drainage channels can take longer. Weather can affect groundworks and jointing, and access restrictions may slow material deliveries. We’ll confirm a schedule before starting and keep you updated daily.
In many cases, a new driveway is permitted development, but rules can apply to drainage and how surface water is dealt with. If you’re replacing an impermeable surface, you may need to ensure water drains to a permeable area or suitable system rather than the public highway. Requirements can also differ for flats, shared access or certain frontage changes. For cobblestone driveways in Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames, we check the practical compliance points and advise before work begins.
We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty covering installation issues such as settlement caused by inadequate sub-base preparation, edging failure, or loose setts due to poor bedding and jointing. It also covers drainage features we install, where faults are attributable to workmanship. Normal wear, staining, or damage from heavy vehicles beyond the agreed design load isn’t covered. You’ll receive care guidance to help keep the surface looking its best.
You can choose natural cobbles for a softer, heritage look, granite setts for crisp lines and durability, or Belgian block for classic character. Popular designs include fan patterns, stretcher bond, random coursing, and contemporary linear layouts with contrasting borders. We can add soldier-course edging, kerb stones, and drainage channels that sit neatly within the design. We’ll show samples, talk through colour and texture choices, and recommend a layout that suits your property and parking needs.
