Pimlico’s broad pavements and mansion blocks deserve driveway surfaces with the same sense of quality. We design and build cobblestone and sett driveways that complement streets around Dolphin Square and the approaches to Tate Britain. From traditional patterns to sharper contemporary layouts, every scheme is tailored to your frontage and parking needs. Expect clean lines, robust sub-bases and finishes that age beautifully.
Our team regularly works across SW1, where access can be tight and kerb appeal matters. Regency townhouses, period conversions and mansion blocks often need sympathetic detailing, careful levels at thresholds, and drainage that protects basements and lightwells. We match stone colour and joint style to brickwork, railings and boundary walls. If you have an existing surface, we can restore and re-lay setts to bring it back to life.
We start with a site survey, levels check and a clear design proposal, then handle excavation, sub-base build-up and precise laying. Drainage integration is planned from day one, including channels and permeable solutions where appropriate. Work is scheduled to minimise disruption, with tidy site management and clear communication throughout. Local homeowners choose us for consistent workmanship, durable materials and a finish that looks right for Westminster streetscapes.
In the City of Westminster, we often contend with restricted access, resident parking controls and busy pedestrian routes near Pimlico tube station. We plan deliveries, waste removal and working hours carefully to keep things smooth. Many properties have shallow front gardens, vaults or lightwells, so we design falls and drainage to suit. Our cobblestone driveways Pimlico area are built with stable sub-bases to handle urban loading and frequent turning.

Costs in SW1 vary with stone choice, access and groundworks. As a guide, expect around £180–£320 per m² for quality granite setts or Belgian block installed on a proper sub-base, with edging and jointing. Restoration and re-laying can be lower where the existing stone is reusable, often £90–£180 per m². Tight access, drainage upgrades and steps or thresholds can increase the total.
Most projects take 5–12 working days, depending on size, excavation depth and how complex the pattern is. A small front parking bay may be completed in under a week, while larger layouts with multiple falls, edging returns and drainage channels take longer. Access restrictions in SW1 and curing times for bedding and jointing can also affect the programme. We provide a clear schedule before work starts.
Many driveway upgrades are permitted development, but rules can change depending on drainage and whether the property is listed or in a conservation area. In Westminster, managing surface water is key: using permeable construction or directing runoff to a suitable soakaway is often required. We’ll advise on compliant drainage integration and check any constraints that apply to your address. If permissions are needed, we can support the application with drawings and specifications.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for our cobblestone driveway installations, covering issues such as settlement caused by inadequate sub-base preparation, movement of edging, or failures in laying. Natural stone itself is highly durable, and we specify materials suited to vehicle loading and local conditions. The warranty does not cover accidental damage, oil staining or general wear. We also offer aftercare advice to keep joints and surfaces performing well.
Popular choices include natural cobbles for a softer, heritage look, granite setts for clean lines and strength, and Belgian block for classic European character. We can lay traditional patterns such as fans, arcs and coursed setts, or create modern layouts with long runs and contrasting borders. Edging options include soldier courses, kerb setts and stone thresholds. We’ll help you choose colours and joint finishes that suit your façade and parking needs.
