A well-laid cobbled driveway adds character and value, while standing up to heavy use year after year. We create bespoke surfaces using natural cobbles, granite setts and Belgian block, finished with neat edging and proper drainage integration. Many clients near Pollards Hill Library and along South Lodge Avenue choose cobbles for their timeless look and excellent grip. We also restore tired setts, re-leveling and re-pointing to bring the surface back to life.
Pollards Hill has a mix of 1930s semis, post-war housing and maisonettes, often with modest front gardens and shared access considerations. Our team understands the practicalities of parking, dropped kerbs and turning space in the SW16 streets, including nearby Norbury and Mitcham routes. We design layouts that complement brickwork and boundary walls, whether you prefer a traditional fan pattern or a cleaner, modern grid. Every driveway is planned to look right from the pavement and work for everyday family life.
We start with a site visit, levels check and a clear written specification, then build from a solid sub-base with careful compaction. Drainage is designed in from the outset, using falls and discreet channels where needed to manage surface water responsibly. You’ll get tidy workmanship, clear timelines and regular updates, plus a finish that’s easy to maintain. Local homeowners choose us for consistent quality, honest advice and reliable aftercare from a nearby team.
In the London Borough of Merton, many driveways need careful level management to prevent water sitting against walls or paths. Access can be tight on residential roads, so we plan deliveries, waste removal and parking to keep disruption low. We also account for the look of 1930s semis and post-war homes, selecting sett sizes and edging that sit naturally with existing brick and concrete. Where required, we align falls and channels to meet practical drainage expectations.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
Costs for cobblestone driveways in the Pollards Hill area typically range from around £140–£260 per m², depending on the stone type (natural cobbles, granite setts or Belgian block), pattern complexity and edging. Groundworks, excavation depth, waste removal and drainage integration can change the figure. Restoration work is often cheaper than a full rebuild, but depends on how much lifting and re-bedding is needed.
Most installations take 4–8 working days for an average front driveway, including excavation, sub-base build-up, laying setts and finishing joints. Larger areas, complex traditional patterns, steps, retaining edges or extensive drainage can extend this to 2–3 weeks. Weather and access also matter, especially if deliveries must be staged. We confirm a realistic programme after the site survey and levels check.
Many driveway projects are permitted development, but rules can apply if you’re changing levels significantly or if surface water would run to the highway. In general, using permeable construction or directing water to a suitable drainage point helps compliance. If your property has restrictions or sits within a sensitive designation, extra checks may be needed. We’ll advise on the likely requirements and can help you confirm details with Merton before work starts.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for our cobbled driveway installations, covering issues such as settlement caused by inadequate sub-base preparation, loose edging and laying defects. The warranty assumes normal domestic vehicle use and reasonable maintenance, including keeping joints topped up where specified. Natural stone itself can vary in colour and texture, which is part of its character. We’ll explain care steps and respond quickly if any snagging arises.
Popular choices include natural cobbles for a softer, aged look, granite setts for crisp lines and durability, and Belgian block for a classic, structured finish. Design options range from traditional patterns (fans, arcs and borders) to modern layouts with clean courses and contrasting edging. We can add charcoal or silver borders, soldier courses, and discreet drainage channels. We’ll recommend sizes and colours that suit your frontage, lighting and boundary walls.
