Nunhead’s quiet, village-like streets deserve driveways with real presence. From approaches near Nunhead Cemetery to homes around Nunhead Green, cobbles and setts add instant heritage appeal without looking fussy. We install natural cobbles, granite setts and Belgian block in traditional patterns or cleaner, modern layouts. Every driveway is finished with neat edging and drainage integration for reliable day-to-day use.
Our team works across SE15 and understands the look of Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and period cottages common in Nunhead. We match materials and laying patterns to brickwork, front garden walls and existing paths so the frontage feels cohesive. If you’re upgrading parking while keeping kerb appeal, we can design layouts that maximise space without overwhelming smaller plots. For older surfaces, we also offer careful restoration to revive settled setts and tired joints.
We start with a site survey, levels check and a clear written specification, then prepare a solid sub-base and accurate falls before any cobbles are laid. You’ll get guidance on permeable options and drainage placement so surface water is managed properly. Our workmanship is backed by a 10-year warranty, and we keep disruption controlled with tidy working practices and realistic timelines. Homeowners choose us for straight communication, premium materials and finishes that stay true over time.
Working in the London Borough of Southwark means planning for tight access, resident parking controls and narrow frontage plots. Around Telegraph Hill Park and nearby streets, we often manage careful material deliveries and phased installation to keep entrances usable. We also account for typical London clay movement and ensure sub-base depth and jointing are specified to suit. The result is cobblestone driveways Nunhead area homeowners can rely on year-round.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
Costs vary with size, access and the chosen stone. In Nunhead, professionally installed setts or cobbles typically start around £180–£260 per m² for straightforward areas, while premium granite, complex patterns, steps or extensive groundwork can take it to £260–£380+ per m². Edging, drainage channels, excavation depth, waste removal and any restoration work will also affect the final figure.
Most installations take 5–10 working days from excavation to final jointing, depending on driveway size and detailing. Small frontages can be completed in under a week, while larger or more intricate designs may take two weeks. Timescales are influenced by access for machinery, weather, the need for drainage integration, and whether we’re removing an old surface or carrying out restoration and level corrections.
Many driveway projects are permitted development, but rules can apply to surface water drainage, dropped kerbs and works near boundaries. In Southwark, using a permeable build-up or directing runoff to a suitable soakaway is often important to meet requirements. If your property is affected by conservation considerations or you need a new vehicle crossover, additional permissions may be needed. We’ll advise and help you check before work begins.
Yes. We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty covering installation-related issues such as sub-base failure, significant settlement caused by poor preparation, and edging restraint problems. Materials are supplied to manufacturer standards, and we’ll explain any separate supplier guarantees where relevant. The warranty assumes normal domestic use and appropriate care, and it doesn’t cover damage from third-party works, heavy commercial vehicles, or accidental impact.
We install natural cobbles, granite setts and Belgian block in a range of sizes and tones, from silver-grey to warmer buffs.

We can add kerb stones, soldier courses, drainage channels and thresholds to suit your entrance. For cobblestone driveways in London Borough of Southwark, we’ll also recommend permeable specifications where appropriate.
