Notting Hill’s pastel-painted Victorian townhouses and characterful mews houses deserve driveway paving with real presence. We build cobblestone driveways that complement the area’s distinctive look, from Ladbroke Grove to Notting Hill Gate. Whether you want a traditional fan pattern or a cleaner modern layout, we set levels precisely for a refined finish. We also handle restoration where existing setts have sunk, spread or lost their edge detail.
Homeowners around Portobello Road Market and Holland Park often need paving that balances heritage style with everyday practicality. Many properties have compact front gardens, basement lightwells or shared access, so the driveway must be engineered carefully. We regularly work with mansion conversions and mews entrances where turning circles are tight and thresholds must be protected. Our cobblestone driveways Notting Hill area service is tailored to these constraints without compromising on design.
We start with a site survey, levels and drainage assessment, then provide a clear specification for sub-base, bedding and jointing. Every driveway includes edging details and drainage integration to manage surface water responsibly. Our team keeps the site tidy, communicates daily, and schedules deliveries to suit narrow streets. Clients choose us for consistent workmanship, reliable timelines and a finish that lasts.
In W11, access can be tight and parking restrictions are common, so we plan deliveries and waste removal carefully. Many frontages sit close to the pavement, making accurate levels and neat edging essential. We also account for older property thresholds and basement areas that can be sensitive to poor drainage. Our cobblestone driveways in Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea are designed to look right and perform well in real street conditions.

Costs vary with stone type, groundworks and access. As a guide in Notting Hill, expect roughly £160–£280 per m² for quality cobbles or granite setts installed on a proper sub-base. Belgian block and intricate traditional patterns can push higher, especially with extensive edging and drainage. Restoration and re-laying is often cheaper than a full rebuild, depending on the existing base condition.
Most installations take around 5–10 working days, depending on size, excavation depth and detailing. A small mews entrance may be completed in under a week, while larger front drives with steps, edging and complex patterns can take longer. Timescales are affected by access for skips and deliveries, curing time for bedding materials, and any drainage integration or restoration work needed.
Many driveway and front-garden paving projects are permitted development, but rules can apply around drainage, listed buildings and conservation areas. In practice, using permeable construction or directing water to a compliant soakaway helps avoid issues. We check site specifics, advise on surface-water requirements, and can work with your architect or managing agent where approvals are needed for mansion blocks or mews properties.
We provide a 10-year warranty covering installation workmanship, including sub-base preparation, levels, edging stability and settlement issues caused by construction defects. Natural stone itself can vary in tone and weathering, which is normal, but we specify suitable materials for vehicle loads and local conditions. With correct maintenance and occasional re-sanding/re-pointing where specified, your driveway should perform for decades.
Popular choices include natural cobbles for a softer, aged look, granite setts for crisp lines and durability, and Belgian block for classic European character. Design options range from traditional fan or coursed patterns to clean modern layouts with contrasting borders. We can add granite edging, soldier courses, and subtle drainage channels. We’ll recommend colours and sizes that suit your façade, railings and paving around the entrance.
