From Christchurch Road to the approaches around Streatham Hill station, we create driveways that look established from day one. Cobblestone surfacing brings texture, character and excellent durability, ideal for properties with strong architectural detail. 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 to keep it practical in all seasons.
Streatham Hill’s Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and mansion conversions often need a driveway that complements original brickwork and boundary walls. We regularly work across the cobblestone driveways Streatham Hill area, including links into Tulse Hill, Brixton and West Norwood. Our team understands the constraints of tighter front gardens, shared crossovers and on-street parking. The result is a design that feels appropriate to the property while improving day-to-day access.
We start with a site visit, levels check and a clear written specification, then build a stable sub-base and bedding layer before laying setts with consistent joints. Where required, we incorporate permeable detailing or channel drainage to manage surface water responsibly. We protect surrounding paving and planting, keep the site tidy, and provide aftercare guidance for sealing and maintenance. Homeowners choose us for workmanship you can see, plus dependable scheduling from a local team only 10 minutes away.
We plan cobblestone driveways in London Borough of Lambeth with real-world access in mind, including narrow frontages and busy streets near Streatham Hill Theatre. Ground conditions and existing services can vary between terraces and mansion blocks, so we survey levels, thresholds and drainage routes before any excavation. We also consider dropped kerbs, waste removal and delivery timing to minimise disruption. This local approach helps the finished driveway sit correctly and perform well long-term.

Costs vary with size, access, excavation depth and the sett type. As a guide, expect around £160–£260 per m² for quality granite setts or Belgian block installed on a proper sub-base, with premium natural cobbles sometimes higher. Edging, steps, drainage channels, and waste removal can add to the total. We provide a detailed, itemised quote after a site survey in SW2.
Most installations take 5–10 working days, depending on driveway size and complexity. Time is mainly spent on excavation, sub-base compaction, setting levels, then laying and jointing the cobbles or setts. Poor weather, restricted access for skips or deliveries, and extra drainage work can extend the programme. If we’re restoring an existing driveway, it can be quicker, typically 2–5 days.
Many driveway projects are permitted development, but rules can apply around surface water run-off, dropped kerbs, and properties in conservation areas. In Lambeth, using permeable construction or directing water to a suitable drainage point is often important. If you’re changing levels near the house or altering access, additional permissions may be needed. We advise on compliance and can help you confirm requirements before work begins.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for our cobblestone driveway installations, covering issues such as settlement caused by inadequate sub-base preparation, loose setts, and edging failures. It assumes normal domestic vehicle use and that drainage routes aren’t blocked or altered after completion. Materials are supplied from reputable sources and carry manufacturer assurances where applicable. We also explain maintenance to keep joints and surfaces performing well.
